June 12 News came that renowned cellist Mischa Maisky has undergone a successful surgery for a severe infection of the spinal cord but "now must go through a long and difficult rehabilitation."  Mo. Maisky was very kind to Nobuyuki Tsujii at the 2022 Verbier Festival, and an ensemble that include him and Nobu are to perform Schubert's 'Trout' at this year's festival, on July 22.  We wish the maestro the best & sincerely hope he'll recover in time for the performance.

April 21 😱BIG NEWS!  https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/99404527728d76e10dedcc809f6835561a234241 

"Pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii (35) held a press conference in Tokyo on the 22nd to announce that he has signed an exclusive [recordings] contract with Deutsche Grammophon, the world's oldest classical music label. This is the first global contract with a Japanese pianist for the company, which has a history of 126 years

June 28 📢Just announced: https://tokai-tv.com/events/tsujiipremium2024/ 

Nobuyuki Tsujii Premium Recital 2024 with an ambitious program

- DEBUSSY Prints;

- PROKOFIEV Piano Sonata No. 7 'War Sonata';

- BEETHOVEN Piano Sonata No. 29 'Hammerklavier'.

DEC 8 Toyota City Concert Hall.

There may be other performances elsewhere in Japan, to be announced.

Nobu has not held these premium recitals (in Japan only) since I believe 2017. These are performances held at smaller venues known for excellent acoustics. In the past, these recitals were held in June-July. This year, it is held in December instead, when normally it is the start of the Nobuyuki Tsujii Japan recital tour (with performances at large venues such as Suntory Hall). Looks like Nobu is rearranging his concert schedule, perhaps as a result of his DG contract? In any case, let's wish Nobu the best success.
