Piano performance of Nobuyuki Tsujii

2013-12-15

After three attempts, I was fainlly able to hear a live performance of Mr. Tsujii at the Great Hall Kitara on December 11

It was a night of bliss that is difficult to express in words.

[This blog, "Colors of the wind" is devoted to the performances of Nobu! In this post, the blogger describes in details Nobu's Chopin/Liszt recital, which she attended for the second time in Niigata on Dec 3, after attending the tour's first performance in Tokyo on Nov 16. Unlike other posts, this blogger wrote about each track. The post is too long for complete translation, I show below excerpts, with English translation]

12/3 辻井伸行日本ツアー《ショパン＆リスト》／松戸・森のホール21

2013.12.12 Thursda

1曲目は「ノクターン２０番」。

初めの一音目が響いた瞬間、なんか細胞が割れそうにときめきました。

ものすごくしっとりとして、色っぽくて、なんというかもう私好みのストライクど真ん中の音でした。

今日、やばいいい。 ...

「ノクターン１８番」も、きれいすぎて、たまりません。

細かい音がきれいで、緩急のつけかたが輝くようで、、、フレーズの中の強弱のつけ方が絶妙なんですよ。

いつもよりさらに力が抜けてるのかな？やわらかい、やわらかい、感じです。...

「葬送」は、今回もイントロが、胸に刺さるような深い音。

この曲は、前の3曲のきれいな音と少し違って、前回の深く響く系の音に近かったかも。

落ち着きすぎなくらいに落ち着いていて、そこがまたよかったです。

...

次の「ラ・カンパネラ」を聴いて、やっぱり辻井氏の音は最高だと確信。

落ち着いた響きのある音と、緊張感のある音のバランスが良くて、いろんな種類の鐘が鳴っているみたい。

辻井氏のリストって、もともと緊張と弛緩の混ぜ方がすごくいいと思うんですが、今日のはまた、ものすごくよかったです。

この曲のあと、ものすごい拍手でした。

辻井氏が袖に下がったあとも、客席がすごくざわめいていて、私の隣りの紳士っぽい（？）おじさんもため息ついてました。

...。

「イゾルデの愛の死」は、また色っぽいというか、艶っぽいというか、っていう感じの音が引き立って、なんか情熱的で胸が詰まるような演奏。

「《ファウスト》からのワルツ」も、すごくかっこよかったです。

これは前回の方が自由というか、のびのびした弾き方だったかもしれないけれど、いいのです。

...

いやいや、アンコール2曲って、普通に考えたら全然少なくないですよね。むしろ多いか？

絶対4曲来る！とか待ち構えている場合じゃなかったです。

2曲で充分です

終演時間は、最初に書いてあった予定よりは少し遅くて、16時過ぎてました。

もしかしたら、会場使える時間がけっこうきっちり決まってて、それでトークもシンプルで、アンコールも少なかったのかな。

辻井氏の体調が悪かったとかじゃないといいけどなあ。

今日はなんだか、辻井氏が自然に音を出してる感じのピアノで、とってもいい気持ちで聴きました。

素敵でした。...

The first track "Nocturne No. 20". As soon as the first sound rang, I felt my cells softening. The sound was moist and incredibly, sexy. It may have to do with the sound generated right in the middle of each strike of the keys. Today, it is a good rush. ...

Also "Nocturne No. 18", it is too beautiful, irresistible.

The fine sound is clean, shining, exquisite touch. I wonder if he wa applying less power than usual? Soft, soft, I felt. ..

The "Funeral March", started with a deep sound that sticked into my chest this time. Unlike the beautiful sound of the previous three songs, this last song resonate deeply. If I was lulled into a calm, that was good too ...

...

" La Campanella ", I am convinced that the sound of Mr. Tsujii is the best after all. Sound after sound calmly; balance of sound with the tension is good; like bell of various types ringing.

And I think from the start that the Liszt of Mr. Tsujii has a very good mix of tension and relaxation, but also today's rendition was incredibly good.

After this song, there was tremendous applause.

Even after Mr. Tsujii sat down again, the audience did not stop stirring. An uncle-ish gentleman next to me was heard sighing.

"The death of love of Isolde " conveys a sound of feeling that was rather sexy. The amorous feeling was better, as if a clogged passion is softening in the chest.

" Waltz from 'Faust' was really cool. It was the last song and it felt like he was set free to play at ease at last.

...... Only two songs for encores, this was unusal. Four songs at least! It seems two songs were not enough ...

The curtain time was slightly delayed past 16:00.

Maybe, the time available at the venue resulted in the short talk and simple encores? It didn't seem like the physical condiction of Mr. Tsujii was suffering.

Somehow, in the piano of the feeling that Mr. Tsujii has issued a sound naturally, I was listening in very good feeling today.

It was lovely. ...

December 11 Wednesday7PM Nobuyuki Tsujii performed at the 札幌コンサートホール Kitara Hall (2,008 seats SOLD OUT) in 北海道 Hokkaido, considered one of the best concert halls in Japan. Nobu always receives a very warm welcome when he performs here, and last night was no exception. Lots of tweets have been posted so far, collected at 2013-14Tour_1.

The most telling is this tweet:

道楽おやじの今夜の目的地は札幌コンサートホールKitara 小ホール。「シベリウスの室内楽 in Sapporo」なのだ。ちなみにこの物凄い人の列は、大ホールでの「辻井伸行ピアノリサイタル」。発売即売切れだった。（笑） [Photo shown below]

Tonight I came with my father to the Sapporo KitaraConcert Hall for a little indulgence. It's the "chamber music of Sibelius in Sapporo" in the Small Hall. Meanwhile, at the large hall there was a great sea of humanity for " Nobuyuki Tsujii piano recital" for the on-the-spot sale of a just-released CD. LOL.. [I think this is the Chopin/Liszt tour CD. I hope the people in Sapporo do not feel betrayed by the fact that the CD has no new tracks on it.]

The photo below was posted by someone who was at last night's Sapporo concert. Nobu has been playing these two "songs" (Chopin nocturne No. 6 and "Still we live") for encores at his recitals except at the first one (where he played 4 songs). Perhaps because of the length of the program (10 "songs"), he's cutting back on the number of encores. But it's too bad that he seems to be playing the same songs everywhere.

Nobu's encores are a big bonus to the audience at his performances - I hope he keeps that so by giving them surprises.

An eyewitness account sent by email:

... 今回のコンサートは、特に後半リストが盛り上がりました！愛の夢と、ラ・カンパネラを二曲続けて演奏されましたが、観客の拍手喝采が凄くて、後に二曲残しているにも関わらず、「ブラボー‼︎」が飛び交う一番の盛り上がりでした！

アンコールは残念ながら二曲のみの演奏でしたが、一曲目のショパンのノクターンを演奏後、マイクを通してお話されました。名取の時と同様で、「それでは、盛大な皆様の拍手にお応えしまして…自作の曲を弾きます。東日本大震災の時に音楽家として何が出来るのかを考えさせられた…」といった内容でした。

演奏終了後は、二度の挨拶に登場しましたが、最後は手を振る事なく退場されました。

.. Concert this time, Second half list was especially climax! And "dream of love", played right after La Campanella, received a great applause from the audience even though there were still two more tracks to come. It was the climax and there was a flurry of "Bravo"!

Unfortunately he only played two songs for encores. After playing a Chopin nocturne, he was talking through a microphone. It was the same as at the time of Natori [where I attended his previous recital], it was that "I want to play a song of my own in response to the applause of a wonderful audience. It is what I can do as a musician at the time of the Great East Japan Earthquake ..." and so forth.

At the end of the performance, although he returned two times to greet us, he left without waving his hand.

辻井伸行さんのラ・カンパネラは本当に圧巻でした！感動して涙ポロポロ。

Nobuyuki Tsujii La Campanella 's was really the best part! Moved. Tears like rain.

辻井伸行さんのピアノ本当にすごかった。あんなにきれいな音がでて、でも力強くて。ラ・カンパネラは本当に圧巻でした！！Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii's piano was really amazing. So much beauty in the sound, but strong. La Campanella was really the best part! !

ほんとに辻井さんのピアノは素晴らしいね(*´∀`)♪前にイギリスの音楽祭のラ・カンパネラを動画で見てめちゃくちゃ感動した(;_;)音楽って素晴らしい!!!! 生で聴けて幸せいっぱい貰えて良かったね(*^^*)☆ゆったり余韻に浸ってね I was insanely impressed with the piano of Mr. Tsujii's when I saw the video of his La Campanella at music festival in the UK. It was really great, great muksic. I am immersed in the afterglow. It was good to get filled with happiness listening live.

辻井伸行さんの初コンサート、あまりの心の揺さぶらされに最後は感涙でした。今夜はショパンとリスト。音の一つ一つが澄んでいて情熱的で超越した何かがありました。深く深く感動した夜。 My first concert of Nobuyuki Tsujii last night. Tears of gratitude. My heart was shaken too much. Chopin and Liszt tonight. There was something that was beyond passionate in the clear sound. Tonight I was moved deeper and deeper.

... 辻井さんのチケットは抽選なので、今回はこんな席～あまり慣れない席です

お顔が微妙に見えるくらいの位置で…

音響が良いと言っても、ちょっと反響板に邪魔されてしまいそうな…

でも、やっぱり辻井さんの音は素晴らしいです

ダイナミックで繊細…ppが美しい…

２曲弾くと舞台袖へ

拍手喝采

その後にどよめき...

辻井さんにも届いたでしょう

...

Tickets for Tsujii was gotten through alottery, and the seat this time is not one that I am used to. It is at a place where the face could hardly be seen. Even though sound is good, it seems to be disturbed by the piano cover.

But, the sound of Tsujii is great after all

Delicate ... beautiful dynamic ...

A variety of so much sound is what comes out of a single piano

Do What a scene that comes to mind the color of the heart ... his heart

He returned from the wings to play two [encore] songs, greeted by applause and roars...

今日はレッスンをお休みにして、演奏会に行ってきました音譜

キタラの大ホールラブラブ

ピアノを教えているのになかなか演奏会に行けないので・・・あせる

行きたい、と思ったものは出来るだけ都合つけて行くことにしてます。

もう、何とも一言では言えないくらい良かった

演奏を聴いて久しぶりに感動して涙が出ました

とってもクリアでキレイな音合格どうやってそんなステキな音出すの？って聞いてみたい。

アンコールも2曲弾いてくれましたが、まだ終わらないでーーー！！って思いましたよ。

アンコールで弾いてくれたショパンのノクターン第8番が、たまたま今私が練習中の曲だったので、とても勉強になりました。

あんなにキレイな音を出すことは絶対不可能だけど、たった1音でもいいから、良い音出せるように練習しようと思いますニコニコ

良い音楽が聴けて、良かった～

Today I took a break from lessons and attended a performance at my beloved Kitara Hall. Even though I teach piano I don't go to concerts very much. But we decided to go when there is an opportunity.

It was too good for words. Listening to the performance, I was moved and my tears came out

for the first time in a long time. The sounds came out very clearly. How do you get a nice sound like that. I would love to know.

He played two songs for encores, but I thought - don't be over yet!

I recognized Chopin's Nocturne No. 8 on the encore, because it was a song that I happen to be practicing - I learned a lot.

It just seems absolutely impossible for the sound to be so beautiful, every note sounds good. I intend to practice so I too can make good sound

It is good to listen to good music.

すごかった辻井伸行くん！The amazing Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii

2013/12/12

昨日キタラで辻井伸行くんのコンサートを聴いた。

前半はショパン、後半はリストというプログラム。

どの曲もすごかったが、特にリストのカンパネラは圧巻だった！

万雷の拍手は良く聞くが、会場のあちこちから

Yesterday I was at Kitara for the concert of Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii.

The first half is Chopin, the second half Liszt. Every piece was good, but the La Campanella was especially good. Thundersou applause was heard all over the venue

http://919blog919.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-2.html

すごかった辻井伸行くん！

... 鍵盤に腕と指を這わせるように弾くのですが、弾く、というよりは、ピアノが自ずと弾き手に呼応して、奏でている・・・という風で、弾き手、ピアノ、会場、そして作曲家の一体感がとても素晴らしく感じました。...

Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii for the first time!

... As he played, his arms and fingers seem to be crawling along the keyboard, the piano responding to his hands naturally. In the wind, his hands playing, the piano, the venue, and I felt a very nice sense of unity with the composer...

演奏はもう素晴らしい！！の一言。

表現力もあるし、力強いタッチだし鳥肌がたちました。

日本が誇る天才ピアニストですね！

昨日発売になったばかりの「ショパンリスト」のCDも購入。...

... Listened to the Chopin & Liszt works; the playing was great, is all I can say.

There was a power of expression, and a powerful touch that gave me goose bumps.

He is a genius pianist that Japan is proud of!

I also bought the "Chopin & Liszt" CD that was just launched yesterday ...

１２／６心が震えた辻井伸行ピアノ演奏会（充）

昨日は夕方電車に乗って名古屋まで出かけた。

夜に出かけることは珍しい。最近は早寝早起きの習慣が付いて、演奏中でも居眠りするのではないかと心配した。 ...

１曲目は、ショパンの《遺作》となったノクターン。が震えた！

この曲は思い出深い。

母が亡くなる前の最後の一年、

入院先の病院へ車で通うとき、ピアノのＣＤをかけた。

毎日聞いたのが、

このショパンの《遺作》...

December 6 My heart trembled at the concert of Nobuyuki Tsujii

I went to Nagoya by train yesterday evening. Going out at night is rare. I stick to the habit of early to bed and early to rise, and I worried that I might fall asleep during a performance, as I did recently. ...

First track, Nocturne - the "posthumous work" of Chopin. Heart was trembling! This song is memorable. Before my mother passed away one year ago, I went by car to the hospital, and at the admission desk a piano CD is played. It is heard every day, this "posthumous work" of Chopin. ...

♪ピアノ・辻井伸行日本ツアー「ショパン＆リスト」

９月からずっと楽しみ音譜にしてた辻井伸行さんのピアノリサイタル演劇に行って参りました音譜

今年はショパン＆リストと言うタイトルがついたツアー演劇

ショパンのピアノ・ソナタ第２番やリストのラ・カンパネラなどを演奏しやはりました。

優しさや恥じらい、でも内に秘めた情熱や直向きさ…

彼の全てが素晴らしいピアノの旋律となって会場中に広がるのですラブラブ .

今回はリスト嫌いな彼ドキドキが「リスト、良かったなにひひ」と言うくらいリストの演奏が素晴らしく涙が溢れてくるほどでした音譜

本当に素晴らしい辻井伸行さんのピアノ

皆様も是非一度、お聴きになってくださいませ

I went to a piano recital of Nobuyuki Tsujii, which I had been looking forward to since September. The title of this year's tour says Chopin & Liszt, including Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2 and Liszt's La Campanella.

I always think that Mr. Tsujii's personality and his smile show shyness and tenderness, his piano shows passion within. The hall was enveloped in great melodies. This time, even though I dislike Liszt, I have to say "That was good Liszt" . Much tears flowed for the wonderful playing of Liszt

The piano of Nobuyuki Tsujii is really great.

By all means everyone should take a listen if only once.

Long awaited piano recital of Nobuyuki Tsujii! Chopin and Liszt this time. And impressed enough to write here! The longing for eternity. Healing. Tears once in a while.

Today I went to Nobuyuki Tsujii piano recital. Sometimes violently, sometimes gently, sometimes passionate. I immersed myself in the world of sound made by him! The performance of the transcendence art of Liszt in particular deserves a word of Bravo!! It was an exciting performance.

辻井伸行のリサイタルに行ってきました！音が綺麗すぎるぜーショパンのノクターンはもっともっと表現を磨いたら、化けそう。年齢も関係あるかなーほかは本当素晴らしかった。また行きたい I went to Nobuyuki Tsujii's recital! The Chopin nocturnes were very beautiful. His expression has become more and more, seemingly more disguised. It is true that performance improves with age. I want to hear him again.

辻井伸行さんのコンサートに行って来ました。透明感のある音色に、なんだか凄みというか、迫力が加わって、壮絶な美しさでした。コンサートの間中とにかく幸せでした。

Nobuyuki Tsujii was great. Piano sound sprang forth like water in a fountain.

圧巻！リスト！辻井伸行、素晴らしかった！The best part! Liszt! Nobuyuki Tsujii , it was great!

http://ameblo.jp/almond-i/entry-11717240757.html This blogger loves figure-skating and went to Nobu's Chiba performance with her two daughters. It was her 3rd time at his concerts, and she seems as much in love with him as ever. She wrote that at this performance, Nobu played Chopin's nocturne No. 8 and "still we live" for encores.

辻井さんって 1曲終るごとに立ってお辞儀したり観客のいない壁に向ってお辞儀したり・・・ちょっと胸が痛くなる・・・。でも人懐っこい笑顔がカワイイ Mr. Tsujii stood and bowed at the end of every song; he bowed to a wall where there was no audience. My chest ached a little. But his friendly smile is so cute.

千葉 Chiba 松戸・森のホール21 Hall of Matsudo Mori 2, image via Internet link

Audience reactions:

辻井伸行さんのピアノリサイタル＠森のホール２１まずは、ショパン：ノクターン第２０番、第１８番。映画「戦場のピアニスト」で使われたこの曲から入るとは心憎い。優しく気持ちの入った音色で一気に聴衆をつかむ。続いての１８番は明るい調性でほっとした雰囲気を醸し出す

繊細さ、力強さ、技術力、感性、何といっても優しい人間性、一度にこれだけのプログラムをこなす体力も凄い。辻井伸行さんは素晴らしいピアニストだ！！！ Recital of Nobuyuki Tsujii at Hall of Matsudo Mori 21 of the piano recital First of all, Chopin: Nocturne No. 20, No. 18. The tasteful opening song was used in the movie "The Pianist". It held the audience spellbound with a tone that conveys the feeling gently. Then the 18th after that created an aura of bright tonality. Delicacy, strength, technical capabilities, sensibility, Above all a friendly disposition, The great physical strength to do a program like this. Nobuyuki Tsujii is a wonderful pianist! ! ! -tweet

辻井伸行さんのコンサート最高だった！泣けちゃたよ。奇跡の音色だった。余韻に浸りながら筋トレへ向かう。 It was the best concert of Nobuyuki Tsujii! I cried. It was the sound of a miracle. Heading to muscle training while immersed in the afterglow. -tweet

ピアニスト辻井伸行くんのショパン＆リストのコンサートに来てます。初めて演奏を聞きましたが、実に素晴らしい。何というか、「こう引き込まれて」しまうような世界観を感じました。これから後半でリストの曲に。 I've come to a concert of Chopin & Liszt of pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii-kun. It is the first time that I heard him, but it is really great. How should I say, I felt a view of the world "drawn in his way". Now onto the works of Liszt in the second half. -tweet

ピアノ演奏であれだけ沢山のことを想い出させてくれた辻井伸行さんに感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。チケット完売の嵐で一年かけて手に入れたチケットです。人間って凄い。I am very thankful to your help that makes the memories of the piano performance of Nobuyuki Tsujii possible. It was a ticket gotten in a year in the storm of sold out tickets. He is amazing. -tweet

会場で演奏中、地震で揺れたんですよ。きっと辻井伸行さんも揺れを感じたかもしれませんよね。。ラストに辻井伸行さんから震災のお話。そして東海地震の自作曲。神戸の震災時つくられた曲の楽譜買って家で弾いたので昔の震災のことまで想い出しました。涙 At the venue, I was shaken by the earthquake. I think Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii might have felt the shaking also ... He talked about the earthquake at the end, and played the song he composed for the Tokai earthquake. It brought back memory of the disaster of te past ... the Kobe earthquake. Tears. <"An earthquake with magnitude 4.6 occurred near Mito, Honshu, Japan at 06:58:17.00 UTC on Dec 3, 2013 ..." according to the U.S. Geological Survey.>

The blogger wrote she doesn't know much about classical music, but I really like the way she described Nobu's playing.

辻井伸行さんのピアノの音色には、

わたしが知っているピアノの音色とはちがう成分がはいっているとおもうのです。

春の日差しの中にある、きらきらと流れる細い雪解け水のような。

透明のガラスとガラスが、しゃらしゃらとぶつかりあう澄んだ音色のような。The sound of the piano of Nobuyuki Tsujii is as if I have entered a different component to the sound of the piano. It is in the sunlight of spring, such as thin snow meltflowing brilliantly. The sound is clear as sparkling glass

特急おきで辻井伸行コンサート

入手困難と言われている「辻井伸行日本ツアー」のチケットを手に、

特急「スーパーおき」に乗り、娘と益田グラントワに行きました。

普段は車で移動するので、電車に乗る機会は年数回。

ＴＶ題名のない音楽会で、「佐渡さん」「のぶくん」と抱き合う辻井君を見てから、

どのくらいの年月がたったのか？

次男と同い年という事もあって、辻井君のＣＤをレンタルしたり、出演している番組を見たりしている。

実際に演奏が聴けるチャンスがあるなんて、夢のよう。

グラントワの友の会に入ってチケットを取ってくれた娘に感謝。

前半のショパンをゆったりとした間隔で演奏したのち、２０分の休憩を挟んだあと、

リストの６曲を気持ちの高まりとともに、一気に演奏。

初めてピアノリサイタルを聞いてびっくりしたのは、音が頭の上から雷の様に縦に降り注いで全身が揺さぶられる事

...

拍手のリクエストで、何度も舞台に戻って演奏して、

母親の気分だと「こんなに弾いて大丈夫？」と思ったのですが、我が息子同様やっぱり若い。

若いエネルギーを力と心をこめた最後の曲「それでも、生きていく」まで聞き惚れました。

歳を追うごとに成長していく辻井君は、２５歳。これからどうなっていくのか楽しみです。...

Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii's concert, by express train.

Tickets for "Nobuyuki Tsujii Japan Tour" are hard to come by. I and my daughter took the limited express train to Masuda Gurantowa .

Since I travel by car everyday, I only have the opportunity to take the train a few times a year. ...

How many years have it been since I saw Mr. Sado hugging Nobu-kun on the "Concert with no title" show on TV? He is also of the same age as my second son. I rented a CD of Mr. Tsujii after watching a program in which he appeared.

To have a chance to listen to him play live, it was like a dream.

Thanks to my daughter who got the tickets from the Friends of the Gurantowa.

Chopin was played generously in the first half, after a break of 20 minutes, he played 6 songs by Liszt with increasing feeling.

It was surprised that hearing a piano recital for the first time, my whole body is shaken by the sound, which seemed to pour in lengthwise like a thunder from the top of the head.

In response to applause, he came back on the stage and played many times,

And like a mother I thought "Sure you want to play more?" , but he seems still like my young son.

I was charmed by the last song, "Still, we live"; he put his heart and young energy in it.

Mr. Tsujii, 25-year-old, grows with each passing year. It was a joy to see him.

グラントワでの辻井伸行ピアノコンサートへ行きました。

かなり前から、本当にすごい人・人・人でびっくりしました。

良かったですね。

優しく、強く、澄んだ音色が染み渡りました。

ピアノは心で弾くものなんだ・・・と感じました。

I went to Nobuyuki Tsujii piano concert in Gurantowa.

It has been a long time, and I was thrilled to see so many, many great people there.

It was excellent. The gentle tone projected strongly and clearly.

The piano was played from the heart ... it touched me.

辻井伸行さんグラントワコンサート行って来ました。ラ・カンパネラ鳥肌ものでした。I went to Nobuyuki Tsujii's Gurantowa concert. I got goose bumps listening to La Campanella - tweet

辻井伸行コンサートに行って来た母親がすごくよかったって言ってた。私も行きたかったけど、日曜の昼間に出掛けるの面倒で…（うそ。いつでも出掛けるの面倒です…）。あとピアノはブーニン聴きに行った時に寝ちゃって…それがトラウマになってる。 My mother went to Nobuyuki Tsujii;s concert and said it was really good. I also wanted to go, but ... it is troublesome to go out during the day on Sunday (a lie -- it is a bother to go out at any time ...) I felt asleep when I went to listen to Bunin, and since then listening to piano is a trauma. -tweet

A detailed blog post about the Nob 26 recital that I have been waiting for. The blogger is obviously a big fan of Nobu, and she raved about the performance, and worried about Nobu playing too many tracks at these recitals. In addition to the 10 tracks on the program, Nobu played 4 encores: Chopin's nocturne no. 8, Liszt's Rigoletto, "Still we live" by himself, and Chopin's "Revolution".

Another blog post about the Nov 26 recital - with a couple of photos. I love these sentences that the blogger ends the post:

ホールに飛び散った音のひとつひとつが結晶になってきらめきました。魂が音の天上に掬い上げられるような夜でした。 Every single sound became a crystal that sparkled in the hall. It was a night of soulful sound, like being scooped up to heavens.

昨日パルテノン多摩に行ったヨ辻井伸行のピアノ聴いてきました、世界一でした。 Yo I went to the Parthenon Tama yesterday I heard the piano of Nobuyuki Tsujii. It was the best in the world. -tweet

これから辻井伸行さんのコンサート。クラシックの曲って普段聴かないけど、辻井さんのピアノは心が洗われる感じがする。I am at Nobuyuki Tsujii 's concert. I do not usually listen to classical music, but the piano of Mr. Tsujii makes me feel that my heart is washed.

辻井伸行さん、ショパン＆リスト、日本ツアー初日に行って参りました。素晴らしい。生カンパネラに鳥肌と涙がとまらなかった。I went to Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii's concert. The first day of his Japan tour. Chopin & Liszt, Great. Goose bumps and tears did not stop listening to Campanella live.

辻井伸行さんのコンサートいってけたヾ 1曲目から泣いてしまった人の心を動かす演奏素晴らしいね

I was at the concert of Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii. I cried starting from the first track. Heart-rending great performance.

辻井伸行さんのコンサート終了！指の動きが早すぎて、人の指ってこんなに動くものなのかと思っちゃった。 Nobuyuki Tsujii's concert is over! I've thought the movement of the fingers is so fast that they don't seem to be human fingers.

辻井伸行さんのピアノリサイタルに行ってきました。場所は私のなつかしの多摩センター、母といっしょに行きました。大変いい演奏会でした！今日がツアー初日。これから行かれる方、期待しましょう！

I went to a piano recital of Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii, together with my mother at the Tama Center. It was a very good concert! Today is the first day of the tour. Best wishes to those who will be going (to his other tour performances).

辻井伸行リサイタル、すっごくよかった！！鍵盤から放たれる一音一音に命を感じました。感動。。。素晴らしい演奏だったなぁ。。。

Nobuyuki Tsujii recital, it was sooo good! ! I felt life in one sound one sound emitted from the keyboard. Impressed. . . It was really a great performance. .

辻井伸行のコンサートツアー初日行って来ました。不覚にもクラシックコンサートで、始めて涙を流してしまった。アクビの涙じゃないよヽ(；▽；)ノ pic.twitter.com/tYizbHSYYO I went on the first day of the concert tour of Nobuyuki Tsujii. I started out not caring, but shed tears for the first time at a classical concert. And it was not tears from yawning (; ▽ ;)

辻井伸行さんのコンサートに行ってきました。youtubeにあがってる辻井さんのラ・カンパネラが感動的で何度となく聞きましたが、今夜はさらに進化した超人的なテクニックと熱情がほとばしる最強無二のカンパネラでした(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))辻井さん、素晴らしいです。I went to a concert of Nobuyuki Tsujii. Although I've heard La Campanella on YouTube time and time again and was moved, tonight's was the strongest Campanella yet and the outpouring of passion and technique seemed even more superhuman. Mr. Tsujii is great
