山崎製パン、恒例「サマーコンサート」開催 多彩な顔触れでにぎわう Yamazaki Baking, Annual "Summer Concert" held. Crowded with colorful lineup
山崎製パンは25日、サントリーホール（東京・港区）に政官界、産業界など関係先を招き恒例の第15回「ヤマザキサマーコンサート」を開催した。
On the 25th, Yamazaki Baking held its annual 15th "Yamazaki Summer Concert" at Suntory Hall (Tokyo, Minato-ku, Tokyo) for invited guests related to the industry, such as politicians and bureaucrats.
特別ゲストとして2009年のヴァン・クライバーン国際ピアノコンクールで優勝した世界的なピアニストの辻井伸行氏が招かれ、秋山和慶氏の指揮の下、東京交響楽団とともにモーツァルト「ピアノ協奏曲」、ベートーベン「英雄」などを演奏、夏の夕べを来場者に楽しませた。

♪ August 30 Q&A on Yahoo forum
From time to time, people post a question to this Yahoo online forum. This seems a thoughtful discourse. The Japanese is difficult for me to interpret and should be taken with a large grain of salt.

Q:
辻井伸行さんの演奏を、初めて生でききました。
音はキレイなのですが、なんだかテンポが…バラけるというか、走りがちなのが気になりました。特に自作曲。
いつもあんな感じなんでしょうか？
I was able to listen to a performance of Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii live for the first time. His own composiitons.
The sound is clean, but the tempo ... [seems rushed??]; the runs are a little worrying.
Does it always feel like that?
One response:
自作曲でなくても、アレっと思うところが、端々にあるのが、辻井伸行だと思います。可視化された楽譜を読んでいないので、仕方がないのでしょう。
辻井伸行は、「音を慈しむ」様に弾く、人なので、技術的に問題があっても、独特の魅力があると、私は思います。
Even if he is not playing his own compositions, there is always some anxiety when it comes to Nobuyuki Tsujii. I think it comes with not being able to read the music; it cannot be helped. People like his playing because they "cherish the sound." Even if there maybe a problem with the technique, there is a distinctive charm, I think.

Nobu has many Spanish-speaking admirers. It is nice to see this excellent article Nobu, la historia del pianista ciego [Nobu, the story of the blind pianist] in Spanish about him.
The article was posted by El Correo, which I believe is a major Spanish publication.
The writer CÉSAR COCA gets the facts right, including Nobu's age, how he learns music, his composing career and his discography. He also explains well the difference between jazz piano playing and classical piano playing.
And, this is the first time I read that after the 2013 BBC Proms, conductor Juanjo Mena said, of Nobu, «Es un verdadero fenómeno» ("He is a real phenomenon"), and that then BBC Philharmonic general director Richard Wigley became a great supporter for Nobu. [Unfortunately, Mr. Wigley's tenure with that orchestra terminated in 2014, which may explain why Nobu has not been performing with the BBC Phil.]

何年か前にピアニストの辻井伸行さんが北野武さんに向かって、北野映画の音楽をやりたいとアピールをしたそうですけど、その時は某作曲家と組んでいた時期だったらしいです、それは某作曲家に対しては失礼な言動だと
Some years pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii was on TVwith Takeshi Kitano, and it seems that he was appealing to him to compose music for Kitano's movie. At the time he [Kitano] was already teamed up with a certain composer. Was this not a rude behavior to that certain composer?

I understand that it is positive [for Tsujii] to have a dream. What I am wondering about is whether the actions and behavior of Nobuyuki Tsujii with respect to that certain composer is acceptable by industry moral.

北野監督へのリップサービスだったのなら視聴者やファンに限らず周りの人も安心出来ると思いますが、もし本気だったら某作曲家という人が気の毒に思います。
Lots of people around, not only the audience and fans, pay compliments to Kitano, which I think that can be affirming [to Kitano]. I think only people serious about that certain composer are bothered by that.
業界には詳しくないので業界的は分かりませんが、モラル的にと聞かれたら辻井伸行さんには「もう少し某作曲家に対しての配慮を考えた方がイイですよ」と少し言いたいです。
As I am unfamiliar with the industry, I don't understand the industry standards, but when he was asked about moral he said "It is good to give more consideration to composers."

Nobu appeared on the Takeshi Kitano's Art Beat show in 2011, and I too remember hearing that remark by Nobu (as translated to me by a Japanese Nobu fan) that he wishes to compose music for a film of Mr. Kitano. To my knowledge, Taskeshi Kitano has not honored Nobu's wish.

会場で何度も繰り返し聴きました。
I was at the National Museum to view the "Venice Renaissance Greats" Exhibition.
It was not crowded. I was able to look comfortably. Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii's "Brilliance of Venice" is No. 80 on the audio guide no. 80, and it is very nice.
I listened to it many times at the venue.
♪ August 3
Nobu's latest album, Liszt's Sonata & Ravel's Gaspard, has dropped from no. 4 (last week, its first appearance) to no. 15 this week on the Billboard Japan classical chart.
It is followed by his 2014 anthology album "The best" at no. 16 (52 weeks on the chart). The "Best" album probably got a boost from his just-completed PIANIST tour.
I believe it is thanks to Nobu's more popular albums such as "The Best" and "Debut" that we get to enjoy the luxury of his premium (prestige) albums once a year such as the Liszt & Ravel.
Thank you, Avex Classics!
