♪ Nobu triumphed at the Carnegie Hall May 10 2019
He was a last-minute substitute for eminent pianist Murray Perahia and took some swipes from certain journalists for it.
But the Carnegie Hall was packed on May 10 and the bravos and standing ovations for Nobu were, as Nobu's management team put it, like nothing we had experienced.
I am happy to have been there.
Thank you, Tsujii-san, you are ON A ROLL and please keep it going!
