♪ NEW Chopin Piano Concerto no. 2 CD to be released October 31
Announcements for the CD have appeared on Japan Billboard, Japan Towers Records, and elsewhere.
But the most detailed announcement appeared at https://7net.omni7.jp/detail/1301402211
In 2017, as part of the celebration of the celebration of the 10th anniversary of his CD debut, Nobuyuki Tsujii played Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Deutsche Berlin Symphony under the command of maestro Ashkenazy. The Concerto No. 2 was in fact completed earlier than the No. 1, and it is considered to be the first ever piano concerto composed by Chopin.
The venue was the world famous Berlin Philharmonic, the design of which involved the famed conductor Karajan. Listeners' ears are considered top notch. The performance was met with great cheers, applause, and "Bravo". This is a CD that recorded a special collaboration of Tsujii × Ashkenazi, which made the people of Berlin groan.
Also recorded on this CD are two nocturnes written in the vein of Piano Concerto No. 2. Nocturnes No. 1 and No. 2 are recorded for the first time. Nocturne No. 2 is the most famous of all of Chopin's nocturnes, its recording by Nobuyuki Tsujii is long-awaited by music fans.
The photo below was taken at the 2017 Berlin performance, and is one of the photos by Peter Adamik posted in the 5.15.2017 concert report on the Nobuyuki Tsujii official website.

♪August 14 "Even people like Mr. Tsujii must wait in line for a U.S. visa"
Reading this blog post gave my heart a pang. It seems Nobu was seen waiting in line at the U.S. embassy for a visa -- likely for his September performances in U.S.
The blog post is dated August 14, probably soon after Nobu returned to Tokyo from France.
The blogger was at the embassy for a visa and happened to see Nobu there.

♪ July 29 Nobu at European summer festivals, August 5 & 8
August is just around the corner.
Nobu will, very soon, appear in a couple of summer festivals in Europe, at Friedrichshafen, Germany on August 5, and in Biarritz, France on August 8. These festivals are on-going, and Nobu's performance will be the closing act for each.
These are not big festivals and we may not hear much about these concerts, but Nobu seems to enjoy performing at these informal settings once in a while.

♪ 『家庭画報9月号』 "Family Pictorial September Issue" Article
This is a nice photo of Conductor Yutaka Sado & Nobu that appears in an article in the September issue of Japan's 家庭画報 "Family Pictorial" Magazine . The photo was taken at Grafenegg Castle, Austria, before their performance with the Tonkünstler-Orchester Orchestra back in June. In the photo, the two are dressed in their performance attire -- Nobu in tux; and they are standing i n a lush verdant landscape, with the castle in the background.

Mrs. Itsuko Tsujii (rightmost in photo below) has a weekly radio show, titled "What Color is the Wind Today" (same as the title of a book that she co-authored about bringing up Nobu).
