台所の洗いもの片付けをしながらお昼ご飯の準備中〜 本日のBGMはのぶくんこと辻井伸行さんがヴァンクライバーンコンクールで弾いたライブ録音のショパン/エチュードop.10全12曲を。... http://fb.me/2TlJ06i7p  - In preparation of lunch while washing and clean up the kitchen Listened to as background music  all 12 tracks on this disc of Chopin / Etude op.10 live recordings of Nobuyuki Tsujii performed at the Van Cliburn Competition.  -tweet

This  twitter wrote: "Nobuyuki Tsujii concert ticket is priced so high ... but I want to go."  In the photo posted with the tweet, the top entry is for Nobu's 2015 performance with Vasily Petrenko.  As you can see, the price is much higher (up to 20000Y) than the other concerts listed. (Foreign artists do usually charge a higher price - in this case, an entire orchestra -- the Liverpool Royal Phil -- is coming.)

Comments posted on YouTube video 辻井伸行 Chopin ballade#1

-  I just found this video and although I own the CD from which the sound track is taken, I am reminded of just how good Nobu's performance is.  Nobu will be playing Chopin's ballade No. 4 on his next recital tour, starting July 2014.  Something to look forward to!

-  Nobuyuki Tsujii Chopin ballade # 1.    Nobuyuki is nothing short then an amazing talent.   Been watching  videos all night of him playing.

-  Nobu is truly a great artist with a fantastic touch. He is only 22 years old and already has a great repertoire that keeps going from mountain peek to mountain peek. The exquisite crystaline rendition of this Ballade in G minor is a testamony of how God has blessed him. This is truly awesome and defies belief.

Apparently Nobu has quite a following in Taiwan, judging from this posting on the facebook page of Avex Taiwan - it has had over 800 "like"s and growing, far exceeding other postings on that page.

Weill Hall at Sonoma State University's Green Music Center will host 34 musical events during the 2014-2015 MasterCard Performance Series, about 30 percent more than the previous season, the university announced Monday.

...

In addition to (Yo Yo) Ma and (Murray) Perahia, classical icons include violinist Gil Shaham, pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii, the Emerson Quartet, Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and a trio including violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, pianist Yefim Bronfman and cellist Lynn Harrell.

...

... missing in the lineup is international piano star Lang Lang, who was a mainstay during the hall's first two seasons. Instead, the pianist has personally selected a new 9-foot Hamburg Steinway Concert Grand piano to premier in the hall in 2014-15.

朝食に納豆とご飯てのもなー。朝ごはんは1時間のジョギングと辻井伸行氏のモーツァルトに限る よなー。Natto and rice for breakfast again.  Morning jogging for an hour while listening to  the Mozart of Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii.  -tweet

辻井伸行くんの今年のコンサート全て完売してるんですが。さすがですねー As expected, all of the concerts of Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii have sold out.  -tweet

http://concertdiary.blog118.fc2.com/blog-entry-1890.html

An amusing blog post, by a male, who was at Lang Lang's April 26 Tokyo recital, describes the showmanship of the pianist.  He wrote that the audience was predominantly female, who rose up instantly to give the pianist a standing ovation at the end of his performance, and rushed up on stage to seek his autograph.  I believe the blogger also wrote that the pianist threw souvenirs to some audience, which invoked a roar of envy in the hall.  SO, mystery solved - this pianist's appeal is his flamboyant personality and perhaps sex appeal to SOME -- emphasis SOME --  females.   Liberace -- in his heyday -- held the same appeal, so did Franz Listz.   The blog post does remind me of similar blog posts about Nobu's recitals by male observers: in particular the female-strong audience.  But one of these pianists is true to himself, the other  -- I believe not.  But hey, Mr. Lang is laughing all the way to the bank, as they say in this country.

Congratulations to this lucky couple who tied the knot this weekend in Japan, with Nobu as a special guest. Nobu played four "songs" as a gift to the newlyweds, including "when you wish upon a star."

April 24 

The BBC Proms  and the Berlin Philharmoniker both announced their new seasons today.  Nobu is not in either one, but Nobu's Cliburn co-medalist, Haochen Zhang, appears in this year's Prom 2, performing Liszt's Piano Concerto No. 1 with the China Philharmonic Orchestra.  Mr. Zhang is also holding a recital on August 1 at the prestigious Verbier Festival,  and after that a recital at the La Roque d'Anthéron International Piano Festival in France 

It is impressive that he has gotten invitations to perform at these European summer festivals, and I must say it makes me a little envious.  Nobu made a splash at the 2013 BBC Proms and the summer before that he performed at the St. Petersburg White Nights Festival.  But this year apparently Nobu was not invited to any summer piano festivals except the Piano/Composer festival in Japan, organized by his own record label Avex Classics.   That is a little worrisome.

I hope everyone remembers John Giordano, chairman of the jury of the 2009 Cliburn Piano Competition, who also performed as conductor at Nobu's debut of Tchai 1 in Texas, 2010. Maestro Giordano is retiring. A celebration concert in tribute to him is scheduled for next April, but Nobu is not on the list of participants. See here

Nobu fan Yuko just returned from a trip to Fukushima, and reported that the great thousand-year-old cherry tree Miharu Takizakura has bloomed in fine form. The tree was unharmed by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, and is a great symbol of the Japanese's indomitable spirit.  Nobu would love it.

フジコ・ヘミング

リストの「ラ・カンパネラ」で有名なピアニストです。

僕はピアノも習っていたことも無いし、音楽を奏でるということに関してはかなりのトンマなのですが、ピアノは好きなんです。

ピアノのコンサートは初めて。

しかも札幌コンサートホールkitaraが会場。

kitaraが素晴らしい会場でした。

見やすくて、綺麗で、広くて、感動。

また行ってみたい会場です。

いや~ぁ、フジコ・ヘミング最高!!

ラ・カンパネラ最高!!

鳥肌と発汗が同時におとずれる稀有な体験。

素晴らしい!!の一言。

ホント、行って良かった。

音楽って素敵です。

And I like the piano.

Piano concert for the first time.

Moreover, Sapporo kitara  Concert Hall.

It was a great venue.

Easy to see, clean, spacious, impressed.

In addition, it is the venue that I wanted to go.

Fujiko Hemming is the best! !

La Campanella the best! !

A rare experience - sweating and goose bumps at the same time.

Amazing! ! In a word.

Really, it was good to have gone.

It is wonderful  music.

I feel impressed by music of a different kin in addition to the excitement that I feel such as when I go to Rock music festivals.

Excitement and tension.

Wonder of music.

The "La Campanella" of Nobuyuki Tsujii is also great.

I want to go to  concerts of Mr. Tsujii.

ネット予約も簡単にいかない!

登録しているサイトから、「辻井伸行、加古隆、レ・フレール~THE PIANIST!コンポーザーピアニスト・フェスティバル 2014東京公演 」の直前先行予約のお知らせが届いていたのに、うっかり見落としていた。

そこで、一般発売の19日(土)にインターネットで申し込みをしたのですが…。

一般発売は4/19(土)10:00から…なので、その直前2~3分前に申し込みサイトにアクセスし、「申し込む」というボタンを押すだけにセットして時間を待った。

10時ちょうどに申し込みボタンを押したら、「ただ今、アクセスが集中している為、しばらくしてから再度アクセスして下さい」の表示が出てつながらない。

再三アクセスしても同じ表示がでてしまうので、もう半ば諦めていた、が、20分位経ってから再度アクセスしたら奇跡的につながった。

予約時に席が自由に選べるようになっているけど、平日の午後のコンサートなのに…すでにサントリーホール大ホールの席はほとんど埋まっている。2階のS席がひとつだけ空いているのを見つけようやく予約できた。

初めて聴くことになる辻井さんの生演奏、今から楽しみです。9月初旬とまだ大分先のことなので忘れないように手張に書き入れておかなくては…。

それにしても、どのくらいの人が同時にアクセスしていたのかわからないが、人気のあるコンサートのネット予約は、案外大変なんだなぁと実感しました。

Booking on the web did not go easily!

On a site for which I had registered, I noticed the pre-sale of  THE PIANIST! "Nobuyuki Tsujii, Takashi Kako, Les Freres Pianist Composer Festival 2014 Tokyo performances" had come to past, and I had overlooked it inadvertently.

So,  I went on the net on Saturday the 19th of ... general release.

I waited for the start time of 10:00 for the general release on 4/19 (Sat) ... I accessed the site 2-3 minutes just before then, and pressed the button "subscribe".

I pressed the subscription button at exactly 10:00, did not get through. The display came out that said "access is concentrated for now, please visit again in a few moments."  I kept trying, and still got the same display.  I gave up after a while.  But, miracle of miracle, when I tried again in 20 minutes, I got through.

And I was able to to choose my seats at the time of booking.  Although  it is a concert in the afternoon on a weekday, the seats in Suntory Hall Great Hall were almost filled

I will be listening to Mr. Tsujii live for the first time.  It will be fun ...

 I do not know how many people were accessing at the same time; I realize now online reservation for a concert is quite popular.

http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/sunrisesetsuko/62795666.html [blog of a Japanese who is a student of Sunrise English School]

Last night I had no classes.  Can you believe it?  NO classes!  I felt almost sick with the excitment and thought of dozens of things I had long wanted to do.  Had it been a fine evening, I would have driven to Enoshima and had dinner with my children admiring the sunset.  But no, the weather was too miserable.  I made hot tea and turned on the computer.  Now that I knew nobody would charge me even if I watch 100 programs on YouTube, I entered, "Rachmaninov Piano Concerto".  I picked the one played by Nobuyuki Tsujii, the blind genius.  OH!  How beautifully he played in front of hundreds of people in London!  The moment he touched the last key, the theater was filled with roaring applause.  The standing ovation was followed by Mr.Tsujii's solo, "Campanella", which was even more overwhelming ...

 I want to share something that I heard from my father yesterday. My father is a big fan of a local pro baseball team (Hiroshima Carp) and he says he's heard that one of his favorite players (Mr. Yoshihiro Maru) is a huge classical music lover (he actually is: http://www.daily.co.jp/baseball/carp/2012/12/30/0005635985.shtml) and Mr. Maru's favorite musician is Nobu. Mr. Maru says he wants many of his fans to listen to wonderful classical music. I find it pretty interesting since I don't think there are too many baseball players who are the fans of classical music. What do you think? I hope many fans will take his advice and listen to Nobu's music.

And she followed up with this:

I checked some books and magazines about Hiroshima Carp and found that this one clearly says Mr. Maru's favorite musician is Nobu: http://goo.gl/crzAu3

Maru didn't mention any other musicians and his favorite music is Rach No. 2! I am so happy we've got a baseball player in Hiroshima with such a great taste in musi

This person asserts his own superiority at the expenses of Nobu in a tweet that is actually quite well written:

やはり偉大な演奏家は考える演奏家である。

たとえば彼の言葉が注目される程の思想性を持っている必要がある。

その点グレン・グールドなどは作曲家に近いのである。

最近活躍している辻井伸行は全盲でありながら今では国際的に活躍している。

しかし興味が無い。It is not necessary for a musician to smile.  After all,  a great musician is a thinking musician. 

For example, it is necessary to have thought characteristics for one's words to attract attention.

In that respect,  Glenn Gould is close to the composer.

Nobuyuki Tsujii, in spite of his blindness, has been rising recently and is by now active internationally.

However, I am not interested.

[So, I replied to this twitter with a link to the 2013 Guardian article that says "Nobuyuki Tsujii showed signs of Glenn Gould-like brilliance in his interpretation – learned by ear – of Grieg's Piano Concerto".]

An interview Nobuyuki « Nobu » Tsujii : portrait d’un pianiste amoureux de Paris ! (Nobuyuki « Nobu » Tsujii: a pianist in love with Paris)  appeared on le blog of Medici-TV --  here in French, or here in English

Nobu is on his way to Paris, but his devoted staff posted a recital report from Alabama, with many excellent photos.

[Report translated from Japanese]

Mobile, AL

With  Conductor Mr. Scott Speck  and the Mobile Symphony Orchestra , I performed Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3 on consecutive days. Orchestra also gave an enthusiastic performance, and we received huge cheers as I rarely see from our customers .

The city Mobile is located in the southern tip of Alabama, facing the Gulf of Mexico. Its history most certainly dates from before the founding of the United States; it is a town rich in atmosphere.

Everyone here seems to love music.  There are several concert halls, and some people were playing music on the streets.

The venue, Saeger Theatre, is a renovated movie theatre in the United States  a great hall with seating capacity of 1921.  Brick exterior, with  " French Renaissance" style interior; the building was built in 1927 and is a stunning building .

Encores played

On the 12th:  Rachmaninov's  Prelude op. 32-12 , Chopin's  Etude of Revolution

On the 13th:  Liszt's La Campanella , a tribute to Jenny (self made)

Posted by me on Nobuyuki Tsujii fans facebook page

I have just learned from a reliable source (Mr. Nick Asano, Nobu's manager) that J. c. Barker, who has graced this page with many like's, is none other than general manager of the Mobile Symphony Orchestra . And, get this, he is also the principal clarinet player of the orchestra, and it is he who started the Prokofiev No. 3 at the performances with Nobu! We are honored to have had such a distinguished visitor in our midst And thank you for your hospitality to Nobu - I heard that he is thrilled.

and Mr. Barker very graciously replied:

We were the ones honored! We have enjoyed an inspiring weekend with Nobu and his performances will not be forgotten in Mobile. Small correction: I am the Director of Artistic Operations, not the GM A very small part of the team that makes this all possible.

@mlliu2006 こんばんは。ノブのアメリカ公演の写真 たくさんみれて良かったです!音が聴こえてきそうなほどのLIVE感がありますね。ノブの顔がアップになってる写真は 金髪のジェニーを演奏中で、ノブのアレンジがきれい過ぎて後ろのバイオリンの女性が泣いてるように見えます^_^

Good evening. It was good being able to see lots of photos of American performances of Nobu!

There is a LIVE feeling, as if the sound could be heard.

The blind pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii

"Disability In Action" on Apr 11 2014 // Stories of Overcoming

... The performance quality of Nobuyuki Tsujii impresses itself and is independent of the fact that he is blind , but his blindness elevated his feat even more .

The absence of sight of the blind people, forces them to sharpen their other senses. It has been established that the level of the general population, the occurrence of absolute hearing (the ability to identify and reproduce a musical note without the aid of a external reference) between the blind is much higher than among the sighted ; specifically among musicians , usually less than 20% of the seers have, absolute pitch , while a scientific study showed that 57.1 % of blind musicians in the current sample had that capability . ...

Nobu is not personally in the video, but he is spoken about quite nicely, and the second violinist Enen Yu performed a short violin piece in the end.

Conductor Scott Speck tweeted, after the screening of "A Surprise in Texas" in the evening:

Blind pianist center stage for MSO

by Kevin Lee

Nobuyuki Tsujii was born sightless, but not without abundant talent. At the age of 2, he began to peck out melodies on a toy piano after merely hearing his mother hum them. At 4, he began formal study.

In 1995, the 7-year-old won first prize at the All-Japan Music of Blind Students by the Tokyo Helen Keller Association. At age 10, he debuted with the Century Orchestra of Osaka. He went on to earn top honors at the 15th International Frédéric Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, Poland, as well as the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.

The guest from across the Pacific will be a featured performer as the Mobile Symphony Orchestra runs through a survey of works from another Asian country, Russia. The program lists pieces from Prokofiev, Shostakovich and Tchaikovsky, but all eyes will be trained on the man with his own eyes focused nowhere.

Saturday’s show is at 8 p.m. and Sunday’s matinee is at 2:30 p.m.

Tickets are $20 to $65. Students K-12 receive free admission to the matinee when accompanied by a paying adult. Just download the Big Red Ticket from the MSO website.

For more info, call 251-432-2010 or go to www.mobilesymphony.org.

前から行ってみたかった辻井伸行さんのコンサート

念願叶って行って来ました

サントリーホールのステージ後ろ側

ピアノの真正面の席

ワォ。すっごくちかいです☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆

辻井さんは少年の様な人で

そんな彼だからあんなにも綺麗な音がだせるのね

って思いました

でも綺麗なだけじゃなかった

力強くて切なくて・・揺さぶる様に、包み込むように

あぁ・・・胸がザワザワする  キュンとする

ラカンパネラは富士子ヘミングさんとは

全然違って、凜々としている

気高いラカンパネラでした

う〜ん・・・私は富士子さんの発酵した感じの

I went out

☆ ☆Nobuyuki Tsujii concert☆ ☆

I had always wanted to go to a concert of Mr.  Nobuyuki Tsujii,  my wish come true

I was seated on stage in Suntory Hall, directly in front of the piano.  Wow. It was so close.

Mr. Tsujii is a young man, and I thought he sound is beautiful.

But it was not just a beautiful, but vibrant and piecing ...

Engrossing.  Oh, my chest tightened.

His La Campanella is completely different from  Fujiko Hemming's

It was a noble La Campanella.  Hmmm ...  I feel that the fermentation of Fujiko's ...  I blame the age perhaps.

This day is the last day of Mr. Tsujii's tour.

Three times he came back for encore  and gave us his best.

Impressive.  Great!

And encore of "Revolution" was great

Entire audience was drawn into the song.

Standing ovation.  I too stood up and shouted "bravo".

辻 井伸行さんがまたデュッセルに来るとのことで。前回聴きに行った時にとなりのお客さんがヘッドバンキングしながらヴァルトシュタインを聴いてたのを鮮明に 覚えてる Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii is coming to Düsseldorf again. I remember clearly seated in the audience next to the head of a bank listening to Waldstein when I went to listen to the last time

I was crying  in the gentle melody of Mr. Tsujii in the remainder of "SUMIRE"

I heard for the first time Impromptu "When violet  blooms"  - it's so friendly

Really nice; mind seemed to be washed.

"La Campanella", needless to say, drew sighs ...

April 6  It's taken a while, but Nobu's official website finally posted a "recital report" for his March 10 performance at La Scala, with many excellent photos, including this delightful one taken at the duomo of Milan. Mr. Asano, Nobu's manager, mentioned that while here, a group of young students who were at the morning rehearsal approached them and told Nobu warmly how impressed they were.

After the concert, there were many celebrities backstage.  It was a surprise to see Mr. Donald Keene among the greeters.

(Dr. Keene is "an American-born Japanese scholar, historian, teacher, writer and translator of Japanese literature. Keene is University Professor Emeritus and Shincho Professor Emeritus of Japanese Literature at Columbia University, where he taught for over fifty years. Soon after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, he retired from Columbia, moved to Japan permanently, and acquired citizenship there", according to wikipedia.)

若手盲目ピアニスト辻井伸行さんカーネギーホール・デビュー

大 変感動致しました。最初の一曲は厳しそうなので飛ばしましたが、2曲目のベートーヴェンのテンペストからが素晴らしいです。テンペストではまだピアノ少年 にも弾けるかなと思ったのですが、リストとすすみ、ムソルグスキーの「展覧会の絵」は大変感動でした。余りに厳しい選曲なのでどうなのかと思いましたが、 辻井伸行さんは汗をびっしょりかきながらも、アップになったカメラに時々笑みを浮かべている様子が楽しかったです。しきりに左右に顔をふられ、音を探り確 かめているご様子でした・・・・。観客の感動は半端ではなく、色々な人がそれぞれ、どうしたらいいか?震災のチャリティーのつもりで来て、反対に元気をも らった。若しかしたら旧日本軍と戦ったようなご老人も来ておられました。僕たち日本人はここまで成長したよ。あなたのおかげですと僕はいいたい。

Carnegie Hall Debut, young blind pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii

We are very impressed. Although we skipped the first song first because seems so severe, the second song  Tempest by Beethoven is great.  Although I wonder if he is still too young to play the tempest, we went on to listen to the Liszt.  I was very impressed with his "Pictures at an Exhibition" by Mussorgsky .  Perhaps because the selection of music was so demanding, e Mr. Tsujii was drenched in sweat.  I enjoyed seeing him smile from time to time when the camera drew close on him.  He turned his face from side to side frequently, perhaps a way for him to explore the sound...   The reaction of some audience in the end seems a little odd, and why were they there?   The intention is a charity atmosphere for the earthquake, but I got an opposite sense.  It was woven like your old man fought against the Imperial Japanese Army After only youth also come.Impressed the audience

[Translation of the following paragraph is highly suspect]

It was rather odd to see the audience so impressed.  Some people seem not to know how to react?   Perhaps they came with the intention of charity for the earthquake, but got a different energy. It was  like expecting  old men fighting against the Imperial Japanese Army, only to find the young people also came .  As a Japanese who grew up here,  I want to say thank-you to you

Chopin & Liszt Nobuyuki Tsujii

"I absolutely cannot not go this time" to  Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii's  "Chopin & list" Japan tour concert.

Starting with the 20th Chopin Nocturne, I sensed that Mr. Tsujii himself want to perform the concert very much.

The No. 2 Chopin's Piano Sonata, heart shakes,

From Lisat's Dream of Love

To La Campanella

Tears ~

Waltz from the opera «Faust» Gounod of the final list of songs

Applause does not stop sounding the end is, the venue is excitement and excitement.

He re-appeared on stage to play the encore

Chopin Nocturne No. 8

I continued to applaud and only one person remain seated because he cannot stand.

He ppeared with a microphone. 

He is the composer for theme song of the current "Kamisamanokarute 2"

Told us about the behind scenes video,

of him playing the theme song for the original movie.

And then it was «Chopin & list» Japan tour again

This was the last day,

he played Chopin's revolution.

Excitement and excitement again

He could not turn away from the applause.

I myself love the last song of Sibelius' Fir Tree

It is surely a song that is important to Mr. Tsujii.

Wrapped in excitement and excitement, it was a night that shook my mind.

Thank you for a wonderful concert.

Soon after Nobuyuki Tsujii Live at Carnegie Hall was aired in U.K. we heard from someone in U.K., who tweeted:

Nobuyuki Tsujii is such an incredible Pianist  -tweet

It seems that Nobu was on Japan TV in the middle of the night. [This is the TV segment in which he appeared - I came upon the link the day after http://o.x0.com/m/21208].  No one knew anything about this appearance - nothing about it is mentioned on Nobu's

official site  (What gives?  Why does Avex make Nobu shrill for ticket sales when the footage would be seen by so  few?) An astute fan happened to wake up in the middle of the night and switched on the TV and caught it, and posted these tweets at about 3AM Japan time [it's very impressive that she has the technology to take those screenshots and posted them so quickly!]

A word from the Maestro

Posted on April 3, 2014    by lifestyles55

    Come, enjoy the 2014-15 Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra concerts. There’ll be passion, human rights, Bachman and a Messiah sing-along.

 ... Russian pianist Natasha Paremski will be back to open our season with Gershwin’s piano concerto and the blind pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii will be back to close the upcoming season with nothing less than Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto.

...

[Editorial: I was happy to read this. Not only has Nobu been invited for a return performance with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, but he is closing their new season with a performance of "Emperor". Unfortunately, the Maestro ruined it for me by labeling Nobu "the blind pianist"  I posted a comment about that.]

April 3

A welcome treat during a quiet week - UGA Performing Arts Center (University of Georgia) tweeted:

Nobuyuki Tsujii’s 2013 PAC performance of Debussy’s Estampes will be broadcast on Performance Today on Thursday, April 3. "Nobu" is the Van Cliburn Gold Medalist who was born blind. His unforgettable Hodgson Hall concert moved many patrons to tears.

"Performance Today" is a U.S. radio program.  The recording is now available for listening indefinitely here.   I am listening to it now -- it is Nobu's delicate playing at its best.  This seems to me a much better live performance than the one I heard in Seattle in January 2013 - perhaps due to better circumstances (venue, equipment, more performances). 

As always, the segment is thoughtfully presented, starting with a nice and concise introduction of how Nobu learns the music and how he plays so accurately, and ending with this:"Tsujii is a mega-star in Japan.  His solo recitals always sell out, and now he has started composing film scores as well.  His is a name to watch.  Nobuyuki Tsujii, that is spelled T-S-U-J-I-I." [Our Japanese friends may disapprove of her pronunciation of Nobu's last name - please see FAQ-1 (TZU-GEE.  No strong E at the end, and NOT TSU-GEE) -- I have been told that it's one of the most difficult to pronounce names in Japan.]

辻井伸行さんのエチュード

たまには他の方の演奏を聴いてみよう、ということで辻井さんの演奏!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrnzDl-6OOw [video of Nobu performing the etudes at the Cliburn]

まずは 10-1 スピードは僕が練習するよりやや速いスピード。

中間部が、ショパンが指定したとおりに演奏されていてカッコイイなと思いました。

個人的にはこう弾きたい!という思い入れのある部分ですがこちらのほうが正しいは正しい。

彼も含めてですが、多くのピアニストが 盛り上がってきた後に ちょっと溜めて アルペジオを弾くんですよね。上がっていくところ。どこのことか分かるかな^^;あそこは溜めない方がいいと思うんだけどな~。いずれにしても、素晴らしい超絶演奏でございました。

10-2

これは、聴いていて笑ってしまいました。上手すぎて!!!

弾けるか!ですよ(爆

いやーこういう弾き方カッコイイね。ペダル使わずこう弾くといいね。もっと抑揚つけた弾き方のほうが好みですがこの弾き方練習してみよう、上手くなりそう!

10-3,4は僕が練習不足なので割愛 素晴らしい 演奏でございます・・・

10-5 主題の最後の右手のシをもっと響かせたほうが好みかな。中間部もっとブァー!!と右手のアルペジオ出したい!

この曲は誰もかれもがあっちこっちで弾いているからどうしても色々気になってしまいます。しかしこれは10-1,2,3,4弾いた後で、しかも目が見えてない状態で弾いているわけでしょ。出来るか!本当に素晴らしい。スタインウェイもキラキラいい音出していますね!

僕は彼の ジョドォ が好きです。日本語だと水の戯れなんて訳になっていますがそのまんまの名前のほうがいいよ絶対。

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWUlP1I6vjI [Video with sound track of Nobu's performance of Ravel's Jeux d'Eau]

初夏にぴったりの曲ですよね♪

これからのご活躍をお祈りいたします。いつかナマで聴きたいな。

Etude of Nobuyuki Tsujii

Let's listen to the performance of other people once in a while,

Performance of Tsujii at that!

<[ink to YouTube video of Nobu's etude performance at Cliburn]

First 10-1   speed slightly faster than my practice.

I thought middle part is really cool, being played exactly as Chopin specified.

I want to play this personally! It is part of the contemplation that is better here is correct and correct.

How do including him,

Pianist many

The reservoir a little after it has been raised

I'm playing the arpeggio.

Where you going up.

Do not you know where any thing;

- Do not think I'm the person who is not there is good reservoir.

Whatever the case may be,

There was a great performance transcendence.

10-2

I laughed listening to this.

Too good! ! !

...

I wonder if he played this without using pedal.

I prefer to play it with more intonation, but it will be good with more practice.

10-3,4 is omitted because of my own lack of practice

Great play ...

10-5

I prefer more right hand at the end.

But that middle part! !

I want out of the right hand and arpeggio

This song runs out of gas here and there, absolutely nobody can overcome that, even him.

But this is after he played 10-1,2,3,4,

Besides, it means that I, who is not blind, should be able to do it!

Really great,

Steinway too has been put out good sound that glitters!

This I like.

It becomes the reason Nantes play of water that it is Japanese but definitely more of the name of the state as it is'll say.

[video of Nobu's Ravel's jeux d'eau]

It is the perfect song for early summer

I wish him success in the future. I want to listen to him live someday.
