♪ September 30 Mrs. Itsuko Tsujii's blog post
My patience has paid off -- I was hoping for just such a blog post!
Mrs. Itsuko Tsujii made a blog post about Nobu's appearance at the アメリカ大使館 U.S. Embassy Tokyo on September 26, at a reception for the anniversary of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act), with photos, including one of Nobu and his parents with Ambassador Caroline Kennedy.

It strained the eyes a little, but I found Nobu listed on P. 4 (photo below) of the management firm's new brochure, and -- what a coincidence -- the leader of the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Lorenza Borrani, who will be the director of the orchestra's tour with Nobu in Japan next month, has newly signed with the management firm.

Thanks to Yura who spotted a facebook posting about the event, as well as several tweets from attendees.
The U.S. Embassy in Tokyo hosted a reception for the 26th Anniversary of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) on September 26th.
According to the blogger, Ambassador Caroline Kennedy spoke of her family's involvement with Special Olympics, including stories of her uncle Teddy Kennedy. Nobu played two works.
A posting on the Twitter indicates that the event was streamed live. It may yet show up on the Embassy's YouTube channel, so let's keep an eye on it => https://www.youtube.com/user/usembassytokyo

♪ ♪ September 27 Nobu is the subject of a published Ph.D. Thesis
In March 2013, Nobu visited Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where he performed and met with UBC (University of British Columbia) doctoral student Stefan Sunandan Honisch, who was pursuing his study in music education. Mr. Honisch has since successfully defended his dissertation, "Pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii & the education of the sensorium through musical performance", now available for browsing on the Internet. => https://open.library.ubc.ca/cIRcle/collections/ubctheses/24/items/1.0224502
Mr. Nick Asano (Nobu's manager) wrote, upon hearing this news: "Actually, he interviewed Nobu during our stay in Vancouver, and we did a few extra sessions on Skype after that. I believe that was a huge task for Stephen, I'll write to him to say Congratulations. Thanks again for letting me know."

辻井伸行さん演奏のベートーヴェン「熱情」を聴く。この人の音は、湧水のように澄んだ音ですね。涼しげでとても優しい。激しいソナタなのに、この人の音色はまるで、山奥からしずしずと湧くよく冷えた地下水をイメージさせる。そうした湧水の清々しさと静謐さのなかで奏でられているよう。 -tweet
たしかに辻井さんのショパン「革命」はそれこそ熱情的に演奏されるが、その音一つ一つの残響はとても繊細で優しげだ。ご自身の徳とでも言うべきものが残響に宿るのであろうか。そう、世界的なピアニストというのは、おそらく残響への入魂で勝負するのではあるまいか。平に感服します。 -tweet

辻井伸行さんのコンサート Concert of Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii
2016-09-26 20:27:04
先日、仕事の後、一人で辻井伸行さんのコンサートに行きました。
The other day, after work, I went to Nobuyuki Tsujii's concert alone.
私は、特に辻井さんの奏でる「ラ・カンパネラ」が大好きで、辻井さんのピアノから放たれる鐘の響きには魂を揺さぶられます。
(ラ・カンパネラとは鐘という意味です)
I love "La Campanella" especially Tsujii of play,
The sound of the bell emitted from Tsujii's piano shaken the soul.
(Meaning that the bell and La Campanella)
聞いていると、昔のヨーロッパのある街で、人々が様々な生活の中で、一瞬、手を止めて、その鐘の音に聞き入る情景を思い起こさせます。
When listening,
In city of old Europe,
People in a variety of life,
For a moment,
To stop the hand,
It reminds the scene to listen attentively to the sound of the bell.
今回は演目リストには載っていなかったのですが、アンコールの最後の最後に、辻井伸行さんは、ラ・カンパネラを弾いてくれました。
But this time I was not listed in the repertoire list, at the end of the last encore, Nobuyuki Tsujii was me playing the La Campanella.
とても、とても、うれしかったです。
その美しく切なく鳴り響き渡るピアノの音色に、心が震えておりました。
息をしてたかどうかもわからない位、聞き入りました。
Very, very, I was happy.
To the tone of the beautifully painful rang out across the piano, heart had been trembling.
Place you do not know even whether or not to breathe, I listened.

「ヴェネツィア・ルネサンスの巨匠たち」の音声ガイド、とってもおすすめ。。。石坂浩二さんのガイドが耳に心地よくて、辻井伸行さんのピアノ演奏も本当に素敵でした。いつもは情報量多くなっちゃったり壁掛けの作品解説と内容かぶってたりでガイド要らなかった～と思うのですが今回はあって良かった！I highly recommend the audio guide for "Venice Renaissance masters." . . Koji Ishizaka's guide was comfortable to the ears, and the piano playing Nobuyuki Tsujii is really nice.. I usually think there is no need for commentary on the content of the wall-mounted and the amount of information is too much, but I'm glad to have it this time! -tweet
辻井伸行君の1月のコンサート行こうかなぁ。 バッハのイタリア協奏曲弾くみたいなんだよ。 あんまりバッハのイメージがないから聴いてみたい。 あとベートーヴェンの月光＆熱情、モーツァルトのピアノ・ソナタ17番を弾くらしい。I wonder if I should go to concert of Nobuyuki Tsujii in January. It seems he will play Italian Concerto of Bach. I want to listen to it because I have no image of Bach. After that come Beethoven's Moonlight & passion, and it seems he will also play the Piano Sonata No. 17 of Mozart.
チケットget👍✨めっちゃ楽しみ💓生でオーケストラ聴けるのなんてボリショイバレエ団ぶり！！しかも辻井伸行さんのピアノ生で聴けるなんて！✨😭それを1500円で聴ける学生は最高(笑)学校帰りに行けるのは浜松の特権I got tickets. Loads of fun. Great to get to see Bolshoi Ballet the first time! ! Moreover I can listen to Nobuyuki Tsujii's piano as student at 1500 yen, the highest (laughs) privilege of going to school in Hamamatsu on the way home

The COE plays for Japan
On 27 September 2011, the COE’s string players gave a private concert in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) and in support of the victims of the [2011] Japan earthquake, at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre in Glasgow. The concert was directed by Lorenza Borrani and the Orchestra’s Glasgow-born principal cello, William Conway. The programme included Mozart’s Divertimento in D, Tchaikovsky’s Andante Cantabile for solo cello, Dvorak’s Serenade for strings, Bor’s McMozart’s Eine kleine bricht moonlich Nichtt and Heidrich’s Happy Birthday Variations. This benefit concert was a great success and raised £5,300 (around €6,100) for the children of Japan through UNICEF.
The COE will tour with Nobu in Japan in October. The 10 performances are also directed by the orchestra's leader Lorenza Borrani.

Announcement of the 25th Welfare Concert on Wednesday September 21, piano recital of Nobuyuki Tsujii in Aichi Prefectural Art Theater! Tickets have sold out.
This year, we welcome pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii, who will deliver a piano recital.
このコンサートは、重度障害者が当たり前に社会で生活する為の活動を続けているＡＪＵ自立の家をサポートするＡＪＵ自立の家後援会が主催し、最高の音楽を楽しむこと、音楽を通して、ＡＪＵ自立の家と福祉について広く理解を拡げることを目的に開催されるものです。

The concert will take place in 愛知県芸術劇場 Aichi Prefectural Art Theater Concert Hall (where Nobu has performed frequently; it holds 1800 seats)
It looks like Nobu will perform his own compositions and some classics, similar to what he did in Ohga Hall, Nagano, earlier this month.
The announcement also mentions something that I wasn't aware of:

He (Nobu) has issued CDs continuously, and has won the Gold Disc award twice.
SSeptember 9 Those "Learned Critics"!
Okay, I had stopped looking at the always glowing reviews of certain big-name pianists, but this one caught my eye.
Staatskapelle Dresden/ Thielemann review - Trifonov sparkles in Mozart
It is a review in the U.K. Guardian of a very recent Proms performance, in which pianist Daniil Trifonov played Mozart Piano Concerto No. 21 (Nobu will play this work with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe next month).
Critic Martin Kettle gave Trifonov a big thumbs-up (a "sparkling and virtuosic account"), but if you look at the comments following the post, you will read several people who were at the concert pointing out that "There was a near catastrophic breakdown of ensemble towards the end of the first movement of KV467, caused by Trifonov losing his way." Also, "there were substantial passages that just didn't sound like Mozart at all."
It really makes my blood boil. It is unfathomable how an experienced critic could overlook such glaring transgressions. It confirms to me that "learned critics" feed off of each other. Mr. Trifonov, it seems to me, has been anointed by the classical music critics community as the next coming and could do no wrong. I suspect Mr. Kettle was predisposed to proclaiming this performance of his as yet another great feat of the SUPER PIANIST OF OUR AGE.
I could just see a scathing review of such a performance if it were made by some other pianist not already placed so high on the pedestal by the learned critics.
UPDATE: Some learned critics did get it right: Michael Church of the Independent " Came dangerously unstuck", and David Nice of the Arts Desk.
But Bachtrack's David Karlin (who didn't give Nobu a very good review of his Chopin recital) made the same mistake as Kettle.

昨夜は、辻井伸行さんのピアノを聴いてきました！
アートを上映しながらピアノを聴く企画。
最初はバックの絵や写真を見ながら美しいピアノを楽しんでましたが・・・
いつしか逆転！！
Last night, I listened to the piano of Nobuyuki Tsujii!
I expected to listen to the piano while artworks are shown.
At first I enjoyed the beautiful piano while looking the painting and photos in the back, but ...
Unexpected reversal! !
ご自身がヴェネツィア旅行の際に作られた曲を演奏されてる時に
ヴェネツィアの写真がバックに流れて、
「あ、写真が曲の「補足」になった！」と感じました。...
When he was playing one of his own compositions made at the time of his Venice travel
Photos of Venice flowed behind him.
I felt, "Oh, the photographs have become supplements to the song."
視覚の力って大きくてつい支配されがちだけど、
曲からはヴェネツィアのゴンドラに揺られて運河を進んでいくワクワク感や
水の上の不安定感、
イタリアの日差しや水を渡る空気まで感じられて、
写真だけ見てヴェネツィアを知った気になったのを恥ずかしく感じたほど…
The visuals dominated wiwth force,
making it felt as if we were on a gondola rocking on the canals in Venice.
Unsteady feeling of being above the water.
And I could feel the air and the Italian sunshine and water
It made me feel ashamed that I only know Venice from photos.
この曲で演奏で、視覚に頼りがちな人たちには見えない
ヴェネツィアの雰囲気をたっぷり辻井さんはプレゼンテーションして下さった気がします。
そのあとのトスカーナしかり、バルセロナしかり…
視覚に頼らず声だけで臨場感を伝えるラジオも
こうありたいものだなあって勉強にもなりました！
In playing a song like this, it would seem he would rely on the visual,
but Mr. Tsujii generated plenty of the atmosphere of Venice in his presentation.
And Tuscany, and Barcelona ...
He communicate well even on the radio without resorting to visual
I wish I knew how he does that!
後半のラヴェルの質量感たっぷりの「水の戯れ」や
ショパンの毅然とした「バラード第1番」や
躍動する「英雄ポロネーズ」は
もう後ろに映るモネもフェルメールもドラクロワも
名画ながら霞んでしまう素晴らしい演奏！
In the second half I felt most for Ravel's "Water Play" and Chopin's "Ballade No. 1."
And the dynamism in the "Polonaise in A-flat major," the dynamism
Also Delacroix also Monet also Vermeer projected behind him.
Great performances complemented by masterpieces!
再来月、辻井さんとはご一緒する機会があって
演奏もお話を伺うのもますます楽しみになりました！！
Month after next, there is a chance that we will see Mr. Tsujii again
Both his playing and his talk have become more and more enjoyable!!

昨晩は、渋谷のオーチャードホールで
ピアニストの辻井伸行さんのコンサートでした。
ルノワールやモネなどのうつくしい絵画、
辻井さんと家族の写真を背景にしながら
辻井さんがピアノを奏でていく、という新企画でした。
とても自然にマッチして、辻井さんの旋律が一層
引き立つような効果がありました。
特に前半は、辻井さんがヨーロッパやアメリカを旅行した時に
インスピレーションを得て作られた曲が中心でしたので
ベネチアやパリのセーヌ川、北イタリアの田園風景や
バルセロナのガウディを背景に、それらを聴くのは
最高の贅沢でした。
Last night, at the Shibuya Orchard Hall
It was Nobuyuki's concert Tsujii of pianist.
Beautiful paintings, such as Renoir and Monet,
While in the background photos of Tsujii and family
It was a new scheme for the piano performance of Mr. Tsujii.
Very naturally matched; the melodies of Mr. Tsujii stood out more as a result.
Especially in the first half, with compositions inspired when the Tsujii family was traveling in Europe and the United States
Venice and the Seine River of Paris; the rural landscape of northern Italy
To listen to them against the backdrop of Gaudi in Barcelona,
It was the best of luxury.

September 6 15:00 Nobuyuki Tsujii Special Concert "self-made and Classic" Karuizawa Ohga Hall
今 日は軽井沢大賀ホールで辻井伸行さんのピアノコンサートを聞きに行ってきました。 初めての生コンサートでしたが、心に響いてとっても感動しました。 アンコールでは「真田丸紀行」のテーマ曲を弾かれ、これまた大感激でした～(*≧∀≦*) Today, I went to listen to the piano concert of Nobuyuki Tsujii in Karuizawa Ohga Hall. It was my first live concert, but I was very impressed, echoing in the mind. In the encore he played the theme song of "Sanadamaru Journey", - I was thrilled. -tweet

昨日は軽井沢 大賀ホールで辻井伸行さんのコンサートに行ってきました。
前半、彼のオリジナルで後半はクラシックの曲でしたが、彼のオリジナル曲もなかなか良かったな。
しかし、何故に時々涙が溢れるんだろうと思った。
帰りの碓氷峠、雨と雷で少し怖かったけど無事帰宅&今、出社してます
Yesterday I went to Nobuyuki Tsujii's concert in Karuizawa Ohga Hall.
The first half was his original and the second half classical music.
It was quite good, including his original songs.
However, I wonder why from time to time my tears were overflowing.
Returned home safely, but I was a little scared in the rain and thunder; and now, I am back in the office

これからさらに円熟していくであろう演奏が楽しみです。

季節の早い軽井沢は初秋の雰囲気です。
オリジナルと聞き慣れたクラッシックのピアノ曲です。
Yesterday I went to the piano concert of Nobuyuki Tsujii of Karuizawa Oga Hall.
Karuizawa is in early autumn.
I was not familiar with the original works in the program
彼自身のオリジナル曲は すっかり手の中に曲がある感じで美しい音と年代による彼の成長を思いました。
アンコール曲は 真田丸紀行とリストのラ.カンパネラ
でした。
I thought his original songs in his hands sound beautiful, and that he has come along well with age.
The encores were Sanadamaru travelogue and Liszt Campanella

平日の午後3時からのコンサートなので、
年代層が高いのですが
男性が多いことに少々びっくり～
日本のシニア男性達も変わってきていますネ
The venue was sold out!!
Since the concert started at 3 pm on a weekday afternoon,
the age group was high. But there was a surprising number of men, perhaps senior men in Japan have also undergone a change
演奏会前半は辻井伸行さん自作の曲
どの曲も、優しく・・・・美しく・・・・明るく・・・・
演奏する本人の表情も、とっても素敵で・・・
これ以上ないほど印象的な時間でした。
First half of the concert was his own compositions.
Each song was gentle ... beautiful ... briilliant ...
His facial expressions while playing was also very nice ....
It was a very impressive time.
後半のドビッシーやリストも、すごかった！！
どう書いても、私の文じゃ伝わらないので
この辺で・・・・
・・・・・・・・・素敵な夢を見れそうです
The second half the Debussy and also Liszt, was amazing! !
I have no words to describe it
Let's just say... it was like a nice dream

Two questions came up on a Yahoo Q&A forum in the wake of the "Sanma" show appearance
http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q14163917699
盲目のピアニスト辻井伸行さんですが、さんま（さんまのまんま）とのトーク中にも首を振ったり、指を動かしたりしてますが。 癖ですか。 それとも他に障害があるのでしょうか。
On the "Sanma" show, blind pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii frequently shakes his head and moves his fingers. Is it a habit? Or does he have another disability?
http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q11163913186
先日ＴＶでピアニストの辻井伸行さんが タイプの女性は浅田真央さんと言っていて、 お二人とも心根がピュアで優しく、 すごく素敵な人だと思っていたのでなんだか嬉しくなりました。
何年も前から浅田真央さんがタイプっておっしゃっているんですね。 真央さんが彼の弾くピアノ曲で滑ったらどんなに素敵だろうと思ったのですが そのような事はいままでにあったのですか？お二人が実際に会ったことはありますか？
Pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii was on TV the other day and says his ideal type of women is Mao Asado. These two people are pure, gentle and talented. I am happy to hear that. Has Mao Asada ever skated to his piano music? And have the two actually ever met?

さんまのまんま観てたら、辻井伸行さん、アルゲリッチとホロヴィッツが好きとの事。辻井伸行さんのコンサート、行ったことないけど、行ってみたいなぁ。
After watching Manma ,Nobuyuki Tsujii reminds me of Argerich and Vladimir Horowitz. I never went to their concerts; I want to go to Nobuyuki Tsujii's
テ レビ付けたら辻井伸行さんが人物イメージを曲にして即興で弾いていた。こういう感性すごく憧れる。Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii was on TV was playing an improvisation of his impression of someone. Such sensibility that I really admire.

Nobu sang a song by the Crazy Ken Band (that he apparently loves). The host struck a glass bottle and ask Nobu to identify the note to demonstrate his absolute pitch. Nobu answered immediately "The Soviet Union" and drew a big laugh. Something about Nobu being able to tell beautiful people.

We went to Nobuyuki Tsujii's "music and painting Concert".
Right from the start the hall was filled with the music of Mr. Tsujii.
The second half starts with the Classic "dream" and "Clair de Lune",
The "Water Play" [Ravel] was exquisite. We listened happily. great applause and storm of bravo after a dignified performance of Chopin's Polonaise in A-flat major . Seated behind the screen, I didn't see too much.

As the applause from the audience would not stop, he had to close the lid of the piano before taking the final leave from the stage.
By the way, he has performed in the Tokyo art theater with many orchestras, but playing solo for the first time.

[This blogger was not thrilled with the first half and only warmed up at the end of the second half]
前半は 彼が小さい時に『作曲した曲』に 彼の『小さいころの映像』が重なります。
１曲１曲を丁寧に説明をしながら ピアノを弾く辻井氏の誠実な人柄が伝わってきます。
が
曲を聞くにつれて
「これはまずい、テレビで見た彼は虚像だったのか？」と 正直 焦りました。
流れるような指の動きはあるものの 手の動きが少なく 音に広がりはない、、、
あれ〜？ という感じです。
休憩をはさんで
後半は 『クラシックの名曲』に 『名画の映像』が重なるという趣向。
１曲目、２曲目、３曲目は ドビュッシーの曲に ルノワールやルドンの絵画。
彼の演奏に 強いインパクトを感じない私は 鈍感なのかな？
4曲目、5曲目のラヴェルの曲の演奏になると
まるでウォーミングアップをしているかのように ピアノのタッチが非常に軽くなります。
ヒャーーー 彼は手が３本あるにちがいない と思う様な見事な演奏です。
うまく表現できませんし 障害者を揶揄する気持ちは 微塵もありませんが
『曲を楽譜から学んだ人と 曲を聞いて学んだ人は
英語を文字から学んだ人と 英語を聞いて学んだ人と 同様の差がある』。
だから 楽譜にはない 隠れた音が聞こえるのではないかと思うのです
アンコールで ＮＨＫの「真田丸紀行」を演奏してくれたあと
最後の最後に弾いてくれた「ラ・カンパネラ」は まさに「神ってる」演奏
鳥肌が立ち、背筋が寒くなるほどの感動を感じて 当然のスタンディングオベーション。
それにしても コンサートの盛り上げ効果が あまりにうまくできているので
イージーな私は すっかり策略にハマってしまいました。
In the first half, family video of Mr. Tsujii were shown along with his own compositions.
I felt it was a little awkward, as if we were watching TV. In spite of his flowing finger movements, there was little hand movements and spread of sound.
After intermission were masterpieces of classics and painting. The first three pieces were Debussy shown with works by Renoir and Redon. I did not feel the impact and wondered if I was being insensitive. Only when the 4th and 5th work of Ravel did I warm up. The piano touch was very light. He must have three hands. It was a stunning performance.
[something about disabled people being able to learn musical score by listening, similar to people learning English by listening]
Encores.
After playing the NHK "Sanadamaru travelogue" music, he ended with "La Campanella". It wa a "God-like" performance.
Goose bumps stood, I felt the excitement and the chill of the standing ovation.
I know the feeling well. It is easy to get addicted.
http://piano.cristal.babyblue.jp/?eid=21 [blog dedicated to Nobu's concerts attended by the blogger]
This blog post has detailed description of the concert; this particular blogger -- a long-time Nobu fan who has gone to many of Nobu's concerts -- is highly positive about the experience.
The post is very lengthy and detailed -- here are some of her points:
Nobu appeared in a casual outfit [probably the same one as on the Sanma show], with suspenders and shoes that seems to sparkle a little, making the blogger think that the pedaling will be magical in those shoes.
From the opening song "Giants of Beauty", the sound was more glittering and reverberated than ever.
Nobu talked to the audience after the first two songs, saying that he has now warmed up.
The blogger felt that Nobu's playing has evolved since his "boyish" days.
She thought the "Tribute to Jeanie" song sounds different -- perhaps the arrangement in the middle is different -- and sounds more beautiful than ever.
She is as big a fan as ever and her next Nobu concert is in November.

I came to listen to Tsujii kun of the concert that took place at the Tokyo Art Theatre on September 2.
... As the applause would not stop, Tsujii-kun at last close the keyboard lid of the piano as if to say "That's it for today" and left the stage with a polite bow. Kind of playful.
