Not that it matters and I cannot find the review itself, but this posting mentions a negative review of Nobu's Tchai 1 performance with Yutaka Sado http://homepage1.nifty.com/alchemy/diary201305.html
辻井さんの奔放
先日の中日新聞で、長谷義隆記者が辻井伸行／佐渡裕のチャイコフスキーピアノ協奏曲の演奏を辛口批評していた。勝手にカデンツァを入れたり装飾音を加えた りした「奔放すぎる」演奏で、「再現芸術」としてのクラシック音楽としてはふさわしくないのではないか、と。僕は辻井さんのクラシック音楽演奏を「楽譜 べったりで何の工夫もない」と感じていたので、この評はちょっと驚きだった。辻井さんは新境地を拓こうとしているのかな。長谷さんの評は行間に「辻井／佐 渡コンビのイケイケな売り込みに辟易している」様子が感じられるのだが（僕が勝手にそう読み取っているだけかも）、それはそれとして、音楽家が自由奔放を 目指すんだったら放念してあげればいいんじゃないかなと思った。まあ、この曲に勝手なカデンツァや装飾音を入れたら、極めて高い確率で趣味の悪い独りよが りな演奏になりそうな気がするけど、この演奏がたとえそうだったとしても「今回の演奏は趣味悪すぎてダメだ」と言えばいいわけで、「クラシック音楽はかく かくしかじかであるべき」と枠にはめる必要はないでしょう。
Mr. Tsujii - Uninhibited
In the Chunichi Shimbun <Midday News>, reporter Hase Yoshitaka was vocal in his critique of the performance of Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto by Nobuyuki Tsujii / Yutaka Sado. The cadenza playing was "too wild", unsuitable for classical music as a "reproduction art". Since I feel that Tsujii plays closely to the score of the classical music, this verdict was a little surprising. .. <translation of the rest is beyond me>
I wrote to Miyuki, a long-time Nobu fan in Japan, about this post, and she replied thus:
No, I haven't seen this review because 中日新聞 is one of the local newspapers in Japan and they don't sell it here (in Hiroshima). It seems like the reviewer (長谷義隆) is not even a real critic - he seems to be just one of the correspondents of this paper (I believe). I can't agree with either the correspondent or this blogger. I just can't imagine that Nobu adds so much of his own stuff to Tchaikovsky (especially his own cadenza). I seriously doubt the ability or the sense of hearing of these so-called "critics" people ... Anyway, I think this critique is something completely different from what BBC Phil people were saying and I have to say I believe the BBC people much more than this correspondent.
Well put, Miyuki!

弱者コンテンツで金稼ぐ人は相手の評価を一過性のものにしてしまう傾向もあって、例えば少し前に話題になったピアニストの辻井伸行さんなんかは、メディアが「盲目の」って強調してしまったために、彼のピアノではなくて彼が盲目という点にしか注目しない人を量産した。 There is also the tendency to be intended for transient evaluation for people to make money out of a weak content. For example, pianist Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii became a hot topic a while ago, because the media stressed his "blindness". Mass-produced people pay attention more because he is blind rather than his piano. -tweet

First violinist Julian Gregory of the BBC Phil ended his "2013 Japan Tour" blog with a coda, showing a photo of the official poster of the tour, he wrote: "Yutaka looks every inch the Maestro, with images of us and a rather dapper-looking Nobu beneath."

"The orchestra ininitially has a special relationship with Yutaka Sado ... fabulous musician ..."
"Nobuyuki Tsujii, the young blind pianist that the orchestra adore." "He does something at the piano that reduces a lot of hardened musicians to jelly. He is devastatingly brilliant."

"Lang Lang: Popular classical music is great, too" Los Angles Times April 28 Arts section
When he <pianist Lang Lang> plays with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at Walt Disney Hall in May, it will be Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, a piece second perhaps only to Grieg in the most-played concerto table. For core classical music fans, playing popular pieces is nothing more than pandering to the lowest common denominator.
"I totally disagree," Lang says of this assertion. "A lot of what you call the great repertoire is popular, but that doesn't mean it's not a great work. I mean, come on. Rachmaninoff 3 is great. There shouldn't be 'If this work is so popular, then don't do it.' In the art world it is only what you feel right to perform."

佐渡裕指揮 ＢＢＣフィルハモニック日本ツアー2013に行ってきました。
チャイコフスキーピアノ協奏曲第１番 ピアニストは辻井伸行さん。
勢いのある演者のコンサートは中々素敵でした。上野の東京文化会館の５階まで満員の聴衆が入っていて、拍手が鳴りやまないほど、みな感激していました。こんな熱意のある音楽会は久しぶりでした。
この演奏会は2011.3.11の大地震で中止されたのが２年後に同じメンバーで再演されたのでした。
...
佐渡裕の指揮はさすがにお得意の曲なので手馴れていましたが辻井伸行とのコラボを見るのは初めてで、その息の合った、若々しい人間味あふれた協奏曲は素晴らしいものでした。
ＴＶで部分的にＵＰされる画像よりは、大きな会場で全身で演奏しているピアニストの姿は本当に感動でした。
今、この演奏を生で聞けて本当に良かった。
３階席で見るのは初めてでしたが、このホールの音響効果の素晴らしさと、変わらぬ前川建築の空間を充分堪能できたのでした。
I went to the Yutaka Sado BBC Philharmonic 2013 Japan tour concert.
Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii's.
Concert was performed to an over-capacity audience that filled up to the 5th floor of Tokyo Bunka Kaikan in Ueno; tremendous applause; we were all thrilled. It has been a long time for a concert to receive such enthusiasm.
... To see Yutaka Sado conduct any work is good, but to see the collaboration with Nobuyuki Tsujii in a concerto for the first time, there was that breath and full-blown youthful humanity -- it was wonderful. More than what was shown on TV, seeing this pianist playing in the whole body, in a large venue, was really impressive. It was really good to hear this live performance. We seat on the third floor for the first time, but were able to fully enjoy the splendor of the acoustics of the hall, in the space of Maekawa architecture that does not change.

The concert master of the BBC Phil, Maestro Julian Gregory, updated the Japan tour blog,http://bbcphilharmonic.tumblr.com/
and has very kind words to say about Sado and Nobu. An excerpt: "Nobu’s Rachmaninov was grand as ever, and his Liszt “Rigoletto” encore, yet another new one, was, quite simply, astonishing in every possible way."
http://teruoblog687.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-100.html <元英語教師の勝手なクラシック評論 Original Classical Music Review by an English Teacher>
An amateur review of the Sapporo performance, with details about Nobu's performance.> Here is an excerpt:
辻井のリサイタルはこれまで3回、今日で協奏曲は2回目。 辻井は09年コンクール優勝以後の国内外のコンサートでの聴衆の圧倒的な人気だけでなく、評論家や他の演奏家によると「その後の成長が著しい」と評価が高 い。今日の演奏には圧倒された。こんな素晴らしい演奏を最初から最後まで華やかに演奏するラフマニノフは久しぶりというより初めてである。ラフマニノフ本 人が弾く協奏曲を全曲所有していて、アシュケナージ、キーシン、ランランなど10名以上のピアニストのＣＤを聴いているし、実演での日本の横山や清水の演 奏も印象に残っているが、とにかく今日の辻井の演奏はラフマニノフが描く雄大なロシアの大地、人々の強い精神などのイメージを雄弁に伝えてくれた。 Thus, Tsujii-san has made here three recitals and today is his second concerto. In addition to the overwhelming popularity with the audience at the concert at home and abroad after his 2009 competition after win. His"subsequent growth is significant," according to musicians and other critics. I was overwhelmed by the performance of today. This is the first time that the Rachmaninoff was play gorgeously from beginning to end, a great performance in a long time. I have listened to the concerto played by Rachmaninoff himself, Ashkenazi, Kissin and then CDs by 10 players such as Lang Lang, and the performance of 横山や清水 of Japan also left an impression. But the performance of Tsujii today brought out the majestic landscape depicted by Russian Rachmaninoff. It conveyed the image eloquently, such as a strong spirit of the people.

英国ＢＢＣフィル・メンバーが語る「３．11体験」 "BBC Philharmonic recalls 311 experience"
A lengthy article,in Japanese, about the BBC Philharmonic members looking back at the 311 earthquake/tsunami experience. It describes the disappointments the members experienced when the 2011 tour was disrupted, the guilt they felt when they were told by the Philharmonic's headquarter to return to U.K., and their strong desire to return to Japan.
Many musicians speak. Martin Warrington, violist, was quoted as saying that pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii helped to sell out tickets of all shows at launch.
「彼は本当に驚異的なピアニストです。指揮者･佐渡裕との相性も素晴らしかった。初日の広島公演は満員のお客様からの拍手が鳴りやまず、ツアーは幸先の良いスタートを切りました」
"He is a truly phenomenal pianist . The affinity with conductor Yutaka Sado was also great. Applause from the packed audience started from the Hiroshima performance (the first stop on the 2011 tour). From the first day; the tour got off to a great start."
おはよう！！今日の金スマみないと。そう言えば地元に辻井伸行くんの公演があるみたいだから行きたいんだけどってまだ先の話だけどね
Good morning!! ! And it can only get better today. I may be getting ahead of myself, but it seems there is a performance of Nobuyuki Tsujii-kun locally. I'd like to go. <Editorial: not sure what performance the twitter is speaking of. There is no public performance on Nobu's schedule until May 27.>

Suntory, Yutaka Sado BBC Phil + Nobuyuki Tsujii again
Once again, BBC Philharmonic conductor Yutaka Sado's, a piano solo Nobuyuki Tsujii-kun,. Overture "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by Mendelssohn; Symphonie Fantastique of Berlioz , and Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2. This time, my seat is near the orchestra's bass section, bind the trombonists; the conductor can be seen well from my seat. It is an interest poistion to listen from behind the orchestra, which I have done in the past.
Rachmaninoff began well , more than expected. It was really great. I can only recall twio perforances when a soloist from Japan is paired with an orchestra from overseas. It is hard to believe, but the musical synergy is excellent in a work that places quite stringent demand on great width swings and and tempo changes. It seems that the relationship of Tsujii-kun and and Sado-san is more than its 12 years. The piano and orchestra are really musically alighned.
Piano and orchestra are aligned musically really. I had not really listened to this concerto like this. Moreover, the beauty of the sound and the music of Mr. Tsujii stood out here.
While it is beautiful song anyway, I sincerely enjoyed the performance.
However, today, for me the highlight was the "fantastic"...

27 minutes 17 seconds 22:22 April 2013NEW!
... It was a concert that shakes one's heart really.
In particular, the Tchaikovsky piano concerto to be performed by Mr. Tsujii is a super super famous song that is not easily illuminated in words. ..
Start of the famous first movement, is suddenly tears.
(I'm sorry that I have borrowed the scene of the concert from the past http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qyJoHnpEVE <YouTube video of Nobu's performance with Sado, uploaded by me>)
I think maybe people around also might have been so.
Sniffles were heard.
He, I think went through a lot a lot of struggling that cannot be said in person.
But, I thought he was born in order to impress people.
With Tchaikovsky over, the encore was "farewell song" by Chopin.
Tsujii's piano, deep, courteous and accurate. It shakes your heart.
Tears again as I watched Mr. Tsujii hugged tightly by Sado.
**** This blog post, by a composer, came up on the 20th, but I didn't find it until today. It warms my heart

This blogger, a composer, was invited to the April 20 Bunka Kaikan 東京文化会館 performance. He went in with a low opinion of Nobu's music, but came away surprised.
「私は、辻井くんの演奏は好きじゃない、とこれまで何人かに言ってきた。事務所の社長にまで言っていた。テレビでちょっと見ただけで。私は謝らないといけない。全く間違っていた。｣ "Up to now, based on watching television, I had not liked the playing of Mr. Tsujii . I said so to many people, including the president of my office (who probably gave him the ticket to the concert). I have to apologize. I have been wrong after all "
He also wrote that the venue was overflowing - auxiliary chairs had to be set up, when too often there are empty seats at classical performances in recent years.

この曲はピアノ協奏曲の中では僕の1番好きなものですが辻井君がクライ・バーンコンクールで優勝した時にも弾いた彼の18番です。
ともに今、飛ぶ鳥を落とす勢いの二人の演奏はまさに感動モノでした。
演奏中、心の中の澱が1枚ずつはがされていくような気がして思わず涙ぐんでしまいました。
辻井君のあの小さな体のどこからあのようなエネルギーが湧いてくるのか・・・
演奏後の絶大なる拍手にこたえてステージ上で、親子ほど背の離れた佐渡さんが目の見えない彼の手を引いて歩く姿は微笑ましくもありました。
その後のベルリオーズの幻想交響曲は、大曲でかなりの難曲でもありますが、佐渡さんの得意な曲でもあるため期待して聞いていましたが、これまた大成功の演奏でした。
4月というのに雪の降りそうな寒さの日曜でしたが、あと1年元気にやっていけそうな気になりました
The wedding anniversary
It was our 16th wedding anniversary last weekend.
With grandma and children, we went to concert, after a long time as a married couple.
Mainly for the performance of Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2, co-starring Nobuyuki Tsujii, conductor Yutaka Sado, and the BBC Philharmonic.
This is my favorite concerto, and I cried even after listening to the performance of Mr. Tsujii at the Cliburn Comptition (for 18 times?)
...
During the performance , I ended up in tears involuntarily
From where in that little body of Tsujii -kun does he get his y energy like that ...
On stage in response to the applause of the tremendous after the performance.
The tall figure of Sado as parent leading a blind child walking back, with a smile.
Symphonie Fantastique of Berlioz ... was also a performance of great success.
It was a cold Sunday with frosty snow even in April, but now I feel like I should be doing fine for another year.

前座の曲はどうでもよかった。
ラフマニノフの協奏曲２番。
いきなり背筋がゾクッとするほどの美しさ。
しかし、曲が盛り上がってくると肝心のピアノが聴こえない。
オーケストラの音は鳴っているのだが、ピアノが聴こえてこないのだ。
これには閉口した。
辻井さんも懸命に弾いているのに、音がオーケストラにかき消されている。
オーケストラが鳴らしすぎなのか、ホールが大きすぎたのか、わからない。
しかし、ここは悪名高いNHKホール。
やはりホールがでかすぎるのだろう。
The program was solid.
Second concerto of Rachmaninoff.
Suddenly the spine was tinkled by the beauty of the sound.
However, as as the excitement rose, the piano was essential not heard.
The sound of the orchestra's going on, but the piano could not be heard.
I was annoyed about that.
Although Mr. Tsujii was playing hard, the sound was drowned out by the orchestra.
Whether there was too much sound from the orchestra, or the hal was too large, I do not know.

辻井さんの生で聴くラフマニノフは初めてでした。
昨年はムソルグスキーの展覧会の絵、その前はショパンでした。
今年はラフマニノフ。
音楽に大きな感情のうねりを与える佐渡裕さんの指揮
その中で太陽の光を浴びたように、きらきらと輝くピアノ、
辻井さんと佐渡さんのコンビネーション、
まさにこれが聴きたかったのです。
聴き終えて早速ＣＤ購入
チャイコフスキーのピアノ協奏曲第一番

A Cold Day with Great Music
April 22, 2013
... This is the first time that I listened to Rachmaninov live of Mr. Tsujii.
Pictures at an Exhibition of Mussorgsky last year, and Chopin before that.
The Rachmaninoff this year.
Under the direction of Yutaka Sado, who give a big swell of emotion in music
As the piano was like a sun shining grightly,
The combination of Sado's and Tsujii,
What we wanted to hear exactly .
CDs purchased immediately after finishing listening
Piano Concerto No. 1 Tchaikovsky
And Rachmaninoff piano concerto No. 2
The two pieces of CD that you have purchased,
And a bag with a picture of autographs of Mr. Sado and Mr. Tsujii.

BBC Phil ,Yutaka Sado, Nobuyuki Tsujii in Hamamatsu
Mr. Yutaka Sado, who has been remarkable successful in recent years led the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, one of the most prestigious in the UK. It was a concert that celebrated the rich charm of Nobuyuki Tsujii, piano soloist.
...
Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii was finally brought out by Mr. Yutaka Sado, his appearance greeted by thunderous applause.
"Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1" is a familiar masterpiece. As often happens, it was followed by thunderous applause at the end of the long first movement. When the performance was over, there was even standing ovation on the first floor. Tsujii played Rachmaninoff's Prelude Op.32-12 as encore and returned to stage two or three times to ringing applause.
I was impressed by the wonderful performance.
Tickets were sold out all the way through the fourth floor . It may have been that the majority of the audience of 2,300 people was there because "I want to see Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii."
<Editorial: According to a posting on the website of the Hamamatsu Cutural Foundatio, the encore that Nobu played was Tchaikovsky's Troika, not the Rachmaninov Prelude as this blogger wrote.>

Miyuki, long-time Nobu fan, wrote:
I want to write some of the stuff that I remember from reading the added afterword in the paperback version of Miracle of tone 辻井伸行 奇跡の音色 恩師との12年間
One thing that I remember is that the past Cliburn winners have given recitals at Carnegie hall and it was often the case that they received severe criticism. Therefore, Nobu was feeling the pressure of "the honor of the Cliburn competition" when he gave Carnegie recital and he was unusually nervous. The other thing that I thought was impressive is that the piano is a close friend to Nobu, so when he is touring he is feeling like he is travelling with his friend. So, the hard schedule during his tour doesn't really bother him.
And Miyuki noticed a comment posted on the Itlaian GB Opera review about Nobu's April 8 performance in Turin, Italy
I wanted to read that wonderful review again. Then I saw this wonderful comment has been added after yours:
"Curnis is right in emphasizing the profound "humanitas" by Tsujii: intensely touching and moving was the performance that the young talent gave the Turin public, not only for their outstanding technical ability (a cascade of notes imprinted liquid that chills the soul), but also for the interpretation: pathetic, painful and poignant, worthy of the best Russian tradition.
And if the Sinfonia da La forza del destino I was not fully convinced, the direction of Valery Gergiev has been an extraordinary climax, which has touched the Akme with Wagner, as a catharsis after a night of strong emotions."
<Editorial: Nobu WAS a big hit in Turin - I hope he will perform more in Europe!>

日本ツアー2013 山梨公演
ピアノ 辻井伸行
行って来ました(*´ΨΨ｀*)
大震災直後で中止になった公演から2年…
待望の山梨公演
待ってました
...
辻井くんのピアノすごかったです
辻井くんは生まれつきの全盲ですが、世界中のコンクールで数々の賞を受賞したりと、今話題のピアニストです
いろんなピアノのコンサートを聴いてきたけど、辻井くんのピアノは、会場を包んで魔法にかけてる感じ
会場の空気感が違いました
首を左右に振りながら全身を使って音遊びをするように弾くピアノの音は、辻井くんの真っ暗な世界での色彩なんだと思う
薄暗い会場が、色とりどりの音の花でいっぱいになって…
弾き終わって大歓声と拍手で会場が湧くと、何回もガッツポーズをして全身で喜ぶ姿がすごく印象的で、涙…

Yamanashi Japan Tour 2013 concert
...
I was amazed by the piano of Tsujii-kun.
Mr. Tsujii was born blind, and received numerous awards and competitions around the world, is a pianist of the moment.
I've been listening to many piano concerts. With the piano of Tsujii-kun, I feel that I have been subjected to the magic surrounding the venue
The atmosphere of the venue was different.
I think it was the sound of his piano playing, and the sight of him playing with his whole body rocking and his head swaying from side to side; I was in a world of the dark colors of Mr. Tsujii
The dim venue seemed filled with the sound of colorful flowers ...
When he finished playing, the venue erupted in great cheers and applause. His whole body radiated pleasure, and he lifted his fists in the air several times. It was very impressive. Tears ...
The tributes keep coming from Italy! This posting came up on April 15, with YouTube video of and much praise for Nobu;

辻井伸行 首
辻井伸行さんがピアノを演奏される時の動き、
特に首を揺らす動きが
気になる、
なぜ揺れるのか、と
気になっている方が多いようですね。
全盲の方の特徴でもありますし、
他の方の演奏の姿が見えないので、
「こうでなくてはいけない」という
フィルターがない分、
自由な表現方法だとも言えると思います(^O^)
例えば、
辻井さんと同じ世界を味わうために、
目をつぶって、
心を落ち着かせて、
それから辻井伸行さんの曲を聴いてみてはいかがでしょうか(^^)
The Neck of Mr. Tsujii
Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii moves his neck when he is is playing the piano,
The saying movement is worrisome to me.
It seems a common feature among blind performers.
"That's the way" - perhaps because there is no filtering.
I think we can say that this is a method of free expression (^ O ^)
For example,
To get a taste of the world of Mr. Tsujii,
We close our eyes.
With the calming, then why not try to listen to the music of Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii?

God's world was good, but I feel the Tchaikovsky's concerto performances of young Mr. Tsujii lacks power, as if he is performing a solo concerto. That said, it is astonishing that he is completely blind . Encouraging because he still young! <Editorial: Nobu may just be understandbly fatigued at this performance - he has been performing too much, especially this particular concerto.>

I do sympathize.

The titled "Tsujii, the musical Prodigy Blind Pianist". A rough translation below. Details in News from Europe
Tsujii, prodigi di musicalita per il pianista cieco"Tsujii, the musical Prodigy Blind Pianist".
... gave a great demonstration of accuracy and depth of interpretation ... the Piano Concerto No.1 of Tchaikovsky was brought to the fore by Nobuyuki Tsujii, the Japanese pianist, and winner of the 13th Van Cliburn International piano competition. He is a musical prodigy, not only for the naturalness of phrasing and technical mastery, but because, being blind from birth, does not see the keyboard, yet never misses a jump in lightning fast movements of the hand. Without seeing the conductor, he is always precisely in sync with the orchestra. There were those who objected to the sound: a little too dry. Or the lyricism a little restrained. Perhaps so; but the execution has been, after all, compelling, and even more so in the acrobatic encore performance of Rigoletto Paraphrase by Liszt...
Nobu posted a recital report, with two photos, including this endearing shot with Maestro Gergiev. Details in News from Europe

Her tenure at IMG Artists began in 1998 where she worked on the management teams for Joshua Bell, Hilary Hahn, Lang Lang, Evgeny Kissin and Franz Welser-Möst. Promoted to become IMG Artists’ youngest manager at age 25 and, in 2007, the agency’s youngest vice president at age 30, Charlotte now oversees the company’s Orchestral Booking Department in engaging its nearly 100 conductors and instrumentalists with the major orchestras of North America. She personal manages seven international artists including violinist Nicola Benedetti, pianists Simon Trpčeski and Nobuyuki "Nobu" Tsujii, and several conductors such as Julian Kuerti and Cristian Măcelaru.

She is a violinist and the former concertmaster of the New Jersey Youth Symphony. While at U-T, she served as assistant concertmaster of the UT Symphony Orchestra, studied with Vincent Frittelli (a former Ivan Galamian pupil) and performed in masterclass for Dorothy DeLay.
In this blog post http://blog.livedoor.jp/yasumasasugawara/ , the blogger praises TV show host 阿川佐和子 Sawako Agawa and mentions an especially memorable episode of her show in which Nobu appeared last year. The blogger mentions that the show can be seen on YouTube. Indeed - I uploaded the two videos! And I agree that the show was particularly interesting - Nobu was unusually playful in the conversation.
On YouTube, the show is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvIkytihR_8 (part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51RuL0Q4eV8 (part 2)
A transcript (with English translation) of the conversation can be read here .

... When the U.S. popular singer Cyndi Lauper visited Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture in March last year, she bought a piano restored from the tsunami, to be presented to Ishinomaki City Hospital.
At the World Economic Forum(Davos) in January last year, a video was shown of blind pianist Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii playing the piano, as a message about the reconstruction of Japan. The piano was transported to the Ginza Yamaha, Tokyo, for the recording of the performance of Mr. Tsujii. <See the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxTEGmgLyUo>

Comment posted on YouTube video Nobuyuki Tsujii 辻井伸行 Tchaikovsky チャイコフスキ Concerto No. 1 - Texas, 2010
My point is that I strongly suspect that his digital key-stroke cycle must be infinitesimally shorter than most other players, and that this being like an athletic reflex, it can only be attained when the student is till vey young, definitely before juvenile age, after which, I further maintain, it can no longer be corrected. So Nobu must have a very good teacher who was fully about the sound quality, like Zakhar Bron and his student, Maxim Vengerov, are for Violin.

The situation of classical music in Japan is, how to say, better than before, I guess.
One of the turning points from minor to major was Manga, name “Nodame Cantabile”.
A lot of young Japanese becomes interested in Classical music!! Then Classical music already have citizen right!
At the same time, a lot of Japanese players get International awards now, such as Mayuko Kamio Violinist, Sayaka Shoji Violinist, Nobuyuki Tsujii Pianist and so on.
I hope wonderful music become more popular in Japan!! ...

2011年に出版されてまだ2年しか経っていない『辻井伸行 奇跡の音色』（神原一光著・アスコム刊）が、このたび文庫化されました！
この本は、おもに私と辻井伸行君の二人にスポットが当たり、その12年間の歩みが一体どのようなものだったのか、指導者であった私自身の生い立ちも混じえて詳細に取材されたもので、NHKの番組「心の遺伝子」が放映されたことがきっかけとなって生まれた本です。
そして今日さっそくこの新刊本を手にとって開いてみましたが、新たな文庫版あとがきが26ページも書き足されていて、著者であるNHKディレクターの神原 一光さんの意気込みが感じられました。神原さんは、現在も世界を飛び回って辻井伸行の取材を続けられている方です。ピアニストという職業に愛情を持って接 してくださっているのを感じます。この本がまた新しい多くの人たちに読まれることは私もとても嬉しく思います。... The book "Miracle Tone of Nobuyuki Tsujii", which has been publishes less than two years ago in 2011 (published by Ascom, Author Ikko Kanbara) has now been published in paperback!
I win a spot on the two books, by way of my 12 years of association with Nobuyuki Tsujii. This book touches on my own upbringing and interviews with me. The book was triggered by a NHK TV special "Gene of the Mind".
I picked up a copy of the new book today and opened it immediately. On page 26 of this edition, there is a new afterword. I could feel the enthusiasm of author Mr. Ikko KanbaraI, who is an NHK director. Mr. Kanbara describes the coverage of Nobuyuki Tsujii flying around the world. I feel the gentle contact with love in his description of the profession of a pianist. I think reading this will make a lot of people very happy too...

Here is something to share with all of you.
Below youtube video is about Nobuyuki Tsujii, he is a famous pianist from Japan.
<YouTube video of Nobu performing La Campanella>
He swims, he travels, he hikes on the mountains and he is the winner of 2009 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition.
He received the gold medal along with Haocheng Zhang, from China.
And you know what...........?
He is blind since birth.
If someone who has been blind for his entire life could swim, climb up the mountains, travel around and play piano international level ......
Those who have able body should be able to do more, can't they?
What is stopping us?
Nothing.
We just need to try.

Nobuyuki Tsujii Piano Concert 03/19/2013
Nobuyuki Tsujii Piano Concert
Thanks to my one of my awesome friend, Serina, I got to know about one of the world famous pianists, Nobuyuki Tsujii from Japan.
According to his profile, he is blind since his birth and joint Gold Medal winner at the 2009 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. He is an inspirational musician with a formidable technique and natural gift for pianistic color.
His best-selling discs in recent years--- Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2, an all-Chopin recitals, Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1.
기교가 넘치는 연주 스타일.
그분의 진지한 열정이 느껴졌던 연주들.
무엇보다,
연주하시면서 행복해 하시는 것만 같아서 멋있다는 생각을 했다.
내가 좋아하는 쇼팽 곡을 잘 연주해 주시는 분이라 더 좋아요!
(Translation of the last paragraph, which is written in Korean:
The great finesse of playing style,
the sincere passion of his playing -- these I felt.
What's more, it was cool that he played with such happiness.
Now, I would like to try to play the works of Chopin better!)

Finally - after all my whining about no news from Florida -- a news article from Florida, and not only does it mention things that we already know, but that Peter Rosen (maker of A surprise in Texas) is indeed working on a documentary all about Nobu! And according to the article it will be aired on our PBS (Public Broadcast System) early 2014!
Here is an excerpt from the article, published in www.TCPalm.com:
The documentary will be a behind-the-scenes look at touring, rehearsals and travel.
Part of the filming will take place at the Florida Oceanographic Society on Saturday morning, where Rosen and Jeannie Moon, business manager at Florida Oceanographic, hope Tsujii will enjoy the atmosphere and the various sensory exhibits.
“We thought it’d be an interesting experience. He really likes to experience different environments,” said Rosen, who accompanied Tsujii to Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado and onto boat docks in Maine.
Rosen isn’t just impressed with Tsujii’s talent, however. He’s also impressed with him as a person. Tsujii has overcome what many would consider a disability to become a world-renowned pianist and composer and someone who is willing to give back.
Tsujii has performed many benefit concerts for the victims of Japan’s tsunami and earthquake and has dedicated his current tour to those same people.
Tsujii’s performance at the Lyric will include pieces by Chopin and DeBussy and a piece that he composed as a tribute to the tsunami and earthquake victims.
“He’s really a role model. He’s a symbol of hope,” Rosen said.
Rosen’s documentary is scheduled to air on PBS early next year.

Comment from someone associated with the concert series, posted on March 20:
Thank you, Joe, for this wonderful tribute to an extraordinary performer, and for your support of Bay Chamber Concerts. We were so fortunate to present Nobu in Rockport and all who were there were overwhelmed by his talent and achievement in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. ..
Comment by me, posted on March 20
As an avid fan of Nobuyuki Tsujii, I read your well-written article with interest.
I have been following the phenomenon of Nobuyuki Tsujii for over two years, as a labor of love. Your Japanese wife is absolutely right about what a "steal" it was for the folks of Rockport to get to enjoy a world-class pianist close-up at such a bargain price. I myself have traveled around the world to enjoy many of his priceless performances. In Japan, Nobu performed the same recital that you heard 28 times in sold-out venues, each of which seats more than a thousand people.
Why would Nobu come to perform in small towns like Rockport in the U.S.? In an eulogy for Mr. Van Cliburn, who passed away recently, Nobu said that among the things that Mr. Cliburn told him is that Van Cliburn Competition medalists have a responsibility to attract people to classical music.
Nobu has been doing just that, tirelessly. Not only does he perform in venerable venues such as Suntory Hall in Tokyo, but he travels to small towns -- the equivalents of Rockport -- in far flung corners in Japan, including, and frequently so, the Tohoku region that was devastated by the 2011 earthquake. In his own country, Nobu has already succeeded in attracting many to classical music. Unfortunately, it is a different story in the U.S. As you noted, it is up to us -- young or old -- to take advantage of the opportunities to enjoy an art form that has sadly fallen out of favor in this country. I hope we reward the efforts of Mr. Tsujii and others who promote the pleasure of classical music.
Thank you for bringing attention to this most remarkable young artist.
By the way, if your wife has not already mentioned this to you, Mr. Tsujii posted a "recital report" for his Rockport performance, which you can read here: http://www.nobupiano1988.com/recitalreport/
And here you can read an amusing tidbit of what he left behind in your town https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151466805529407&l=170ddb4c99

Woa, this guy has a true balance between his right and left hand in dexterity, which is very rare even among many of so called celebrated professional pianists. This perfect balance may be contributing to the way this piece even sounds! Also, his arpeggio cascata goes very smooth indeed, left or right. These factors may be contributing to the beauty of the sounds he consistently produces...Thanks again for sharing this piece.

http://blog.semilshah.com/2013/03/19/the-music-passes-through-me/ A March 19 blog post by a technology writer in U.S.:
... you should check out this video of Japanese piano prodigy Nobuyuki Tsujii. He’s just over 20 years old, blind, and began piano at age 2. When you watch this short video below of him playing, it’s clear that he is talented, no doubt. But, he also didn’t learn to play music by sight reading or watching videos. I remember learning instruments growing up, with an easel and music stand to follow along the notes. Every now and then, I would be able to memorize some notes, but the manner in which I learned was based on sight, and therefore it impacted my ability to channel it. For someone like Tsujii, however, he’s never seen music, and when you watch this performance, it is crystal clear that he doesn’t play the notes — but that the notes pass through him. He is a talent beyond all others. No one could learn to play this particular music with this level of care and precision in this moment in time... <The video referred to is Nobuyuki Tsujii 辻井伸行 Liszt La Campanella,2009 Tokyo Opera City>

普段感じないもの
「奇跡の音色」と称される盲目のピアニスト、辻井伸行氏のお母様の講演会に行ってきました。
辻井伸行氏は生まれつき全盲で、眼球の発達が遅く正常に発育しないまま生まれてしまうごくまれな「小眼球症」でした。全く光を感じることも出来ない状態です。
ですから、お母さんは「きれいなもの」や「美しいもの」を見るとつらくなりました。息子には見えないから。

I went to a lecture "Miracle of tone" by the mother of the blind pianist Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii. Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii was born blind with the rare condition of "microphthalmia" , which affected the development of his eyes. It is a condition that makes him not even able to feel the light at all. So, the mother looked hard for "beautiful things". My son do not see me. My does not know the distinction between day and night, because he does not sense light. Day and night are reversed for him, and he became hypersensitive to sound. He feared loud soud and would cry loudly in reaction. It was a daily occurrence that made it impossible to do daily shopping with him. I was stuck, and sought help somewhere.
His mother sought salvation in books. She as particularly impressed with a book called "Phlox my eyes". It depicts the life of a guide dog for someone completely blind.
She wrote a letter of thanks, and a reply came.
The advice from the author: "You should try to bring him up normally, the same way as other parents". She took him to see the cherry blossoms, not only to see the flowers. but Feel the wind, smell the cherry blossoms. He enjoys the sound of the petals falling. And one day, the mother heard Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii asked. "Mom, what color is today's wind? "
Sometimes, we should close our eyes and feel with our five senses.

Wow! Why have I only just become aware of this???
The clip above is a video of Japanese pianist and composer Nobuyuki Tsujii playing ‘La Campanella’ or the third of six ‘Grandes etudes de Paganin’ at Tokyo Opera City in 2009.
Despite the complexity of the piece of music there’s seemingly nothing out of the ordinary except that Tsujii was born blind!
The performance is breathtaking in technique and power but also staggering when related to WOK Sense Perception in ToK. How, for instance, does Tsujii ‘know’ where the keys are if he can’t see them? How has the brain been able to ‘construct’ the position of the keys in his head so that he can play the piece of music?
An amazing video, well worth watching
<The video referred to is Nobuyuki Tsujii 辻井伸行 Liszt La Campanella,2009 Tokyo Opera City -- not sure what those acronyms WOK and ToK are all about.>

Comment posted on YouTube video Nobuyuki Tsujii (age 12 ) at Carnegie Hall
I just saw Nobuyuki Tsujii play Chopin at Muhlenberg college in PA, it was amazing, if anyone gets the chance to see him in person, GO
中山七里著「いつまでもショパン」読了。「さよならドビュツシー」「おやすみラフマニノフ」に続く音楽ミステリー。ショパンの曲の表現がすごい。明らかに 辻井伸行さんを連想されるピアニストも登場。彼の演奏を褒めちぎっている。 Music mystery "Chopin forever.", by author Dokuryo Nakayamashichiri who also wrote "Good night, Rachmaninoff", "Dobyutsushi goodbye". Description of Chopin's music is amazing. A pianist who is obviously Nobuyuki Tsujii also appeared. Lavish praise on his playing.
録画しておいた辻井伸行とゲルギエフの共演でチャイコフスキーのピアノ協奏曲第1番を観た(聞いた)。音楽的な好みは別にして、これだけ弾けるということ 自体が驚異だ。もはや目が見えるとか見えないとかの次元を超えていることだけは間違いない。いろいろ考えてしまうな〜。 I recorded Nobuyuki Tsujii and saw the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 with co-stars Gergiev I (heard). Music taste aside, he is questionably a phenomenon. There is no doubt that there is a dimension beyond the seeing eyes.
辻井伸行コンサートチケット完売で買えなかった…昨日買っとけばよかった…ちゃんと手帳に発売日書いといたのにバタバタしてて忘れてた…残 念...Nobuyuki Tsujii concert tickets sold out. I should have bought it yesterday. But even though I wrote the release date in a notebook, I forgot. I regret.

2013.03.16 Sat
今日、６月２日に都南文化会館で行われる辻井伸行氏のコンサートチケットを入手すべく、まずはチケットぴあのサイトにアクセスするも、アクセスが集中していると表示され、ここでの購入は断念。
仕方がないので、開店前デパートに行き、開店と同時にプレイガイドにたどり着くも、既に長蛇の列。
１０時５分頃には完売の知らせ。
とても残念です、もっと大きな会場でやって欲しかったな。
Today,I was to get a ticket for the concert of Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii to be held in Tonan Cultural Center on June 2,
I first tried to access the site of Pia, but the site was overloaded and I had to give up.
Since there was no way, I went to the department store before opening, and got there at the same time as the opening guide. Already a long line.
At around 10:05, they announced that the tickets were sold-out.
What a pity, I wanted to be at a bigger venue.

Posting on the facebook page of a sponsor of Nobu's March 17 recital in Maine:

We also have still limited lodging packages or dinner packages with reserved tickets available for the hilarious The Second City at Camden Opera House March 24.
Comment on YouTube video: Nobuyuki Tsujii 辻井伸行 風がはこんできたもの "What the Wind Brings"
I do not like this at all, reminiscing of the "cheap feel" of richard Claiderman of earstwhile fame. f Tsujii continues on this track, his compositional talents would have to be questioned, albeit his performances of great composers are great. What's wrong with his compositions, in my view, is the superficial glitter-chases with no or little soulful meditative inference quality or depth. He better quit chasing the audience attraction emphais, or he would degenerate into a cabaret entertainer.
My reply:
I understand your sentiment and I felt the same two years ago. But I have been observing Nobu for a long time now, and have met him in person several times since then.
As much as some of us would like to cast him in the mold of a Rubinstein or Kissin, he is not. Nobu is, at heart, a performer - he enjoys performing for the pleasure of others. And he is completely without pretension. He is what he is, an extraordinary artist that cannot be measured by common standard.

March 13, 2013
...
Two prominent pianists are making return visits to the Lehigh Valley this weekend.
Richard Goode's appearance as soloist with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra Sunday afternoon at Lafayette College is his third performance here. The first was on the Muhlenberg College's piano series in April 2010. He returned to that series last fall.
...
Japanese pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii is also a returnee. In April 2011 he appeared, like Goode, on Muhlenberg College's piano series. He returns to that series Friday night.
Tsujii, who has been blind since birth, came to international prominence when he won the gold medal at the Van Cliburn Competition in 2009, the first blind pianist to have done so.
Tsujii's musical education has taken place entirely in Japan, and was capped by completion of the performer's program at Ueno Gakuen University in 2011.
Tsujii's program Friday will include works by Debussy and Chopin. The Debussy works on the first half are Deux Arabesques, Suite bergamasque, Estampes and L'Isle joyeuse.
On the second half are four works by Chopin: Grande Valse brillante in E-flat Major, op. 18, Scherzo No. 2 in B-flat minor, op. 31, Polonaise-Fantaisie in A-flat Major, op. 61, and Polonaise No. 6 in A-flat Major, op. 53, "Héroïque."

辻井 伸行さん♪
さて今日は真冬に戻ったような寒い1日でしたので
まだ片付けに迷って残しておいたリビングのこたつに入って、ほっこり音楽鑑賞をして過ごしました
wowowで録画しておいた
『辻井伸行・カーネギーホール・デビューライブ』
曲目は、
ベートーヴェンのピアノソナタ『テンペスト』
ムソグルスキーの『展覧会の絵』ほか
辻井さんの演奏を鑑賞して思うことは
この人はホントにピアノが好きなのだろうなあ
ピアノに対してとても真摯で一生懸命に向き合っている演奏だなぁ。
ということです。
ありきたりな感想ですが、ピアニストの演奏を聴いて、こんな印象を持つことは逆に少ないです。
『目が見えない』事で、とっても慎重に鍵盤の上を這って行くような指の動きから出る音色は素朴な感じがします。
派手さは無いけれど、ホントに辻井さんの独特の世界観に引きこまれます。
そして、辻井さんはオーディエンスの空気を感じながら弾いている気がして、その一体感がまた彼の魅力なのかな…とも思いました。
もうひとつ録画しておいた
『辻井伸行×ゲルギエフ
チャイコフスキー:ピアノ協奏曲Nｏ.1』
指揮者のゲルギエフさん…
若い頃はチョット苦手でしたが
久しぶりに観ると、なかなか良かった
辻井さんのチャイコフスキーは、若々しい躍動感のある演奏でした
ただ、このチャイコフスキーの1番は、私の中でどーしても譲れない名盤があって…
1988年録音の
ベルリンフィル/カラヤン
ピアノ/エフゲニー・キーシン
私の中でかなり衝撃的な感動を覚えた演奏でした。
このLDは実家の父が所有してます。
産後、実家に帰って久しぶりにまた観てみようと思います
Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii
On a cold day, I watched recordings made from a WOWOW broadcast.
" Nobuyuki Tsujii Carnegie Hall debut live" with the Beethoven Piano Sonata "The Tempest" and Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" .
In the past, I sensed that this person really likes the piano, and that he is very serious and demanding on the piano. Listening to the performance, my impression is a little bit reversed.
Because of his "blindness", the sound coming from the movement of the fingers - which strike very carefully over the keys - has a rustic feel.
Although he is not as flashy <as other pianists>, I was really pulled into the unique world of Tsujii really.
And, it feels like Tsujii has a rapport in the air with the audience
Tsujii feel you are playing with the audience to feel the air,
I wonder if his charm is also part of that sense of unity ...
I think both.
I also watched another recording, "Nobuyuki Tsujii x Gergiev Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No.1 ". Conductor Mr. Gergiev ...
When he was young was a little weak
Watching him for the first time in a long time, it was pretty good
Mr. Tsujii was playing Tchaikovsky with a sense of youthful dynamism
However, when it comes to the first of Tchaikovsky, there is a recording that I happen to think is unassailable. The 1988 recording of Berlin Philharmonic / Herbert von Karajan Piano / Evgeny Kissin - it was a performance that devastated me. The recording is at my father's home. I think I will go take a look.

Mentioned is that the president of UBC was seen touching his teary wife as Nobu performed at the recital. English translation here: Nobuyuki Tsujii 2013 North America Tour - Part 3
A Nobu fan very generously provided a transcript of the lyrics for the song "Still, We Live" それでも生きてゆく, as performed by Nobuyuki Tsujii and singer ATSUSHI on the NHK "SONGS" show. I made an English translation of it, which you may read on this page - if you like. I welcome suggestions to improve the translation!

A Nobu fan wrote:
just finished watching the SONGS show – it was a short but a very nice show indeed. They showed some footage from Nobu’s childhood which I had never seen before. Nobu looked very nice and innocent throughout the show and his smiles at the end of “Whisper of the River” was so sweet. The lyrics of “Still We Live” was nicely written by the singer and I liked the collaboration

ＡＴＳＵＳＨＩ×辻井伸行“希望ソング”届ける
サンケイスポーツ 3月7日(木)5時0分配信
ＥＸＩＬＥのＡＴＳＵＳＨＩ（３２）と全盲のピアニスト、辻井伸行（２４）がタッグを組み、「ＥＸＩＬＥ ＡＴＳＵＳＨＩ＆辻井伸行」名義で５月１日に「それでも、生きてゆく」を発売することが６日、分かった。
大震災から２年、豪華共演が実現した。原曲は２０１１年３月３１日、辻井が米コロラド州ボルダーで行った演奏会のアンコールで、被災者への思いを込めて即興で弾いた楽曲だった。以来、公演のアンコールでは必ずこの曲を演奏してきた。
そして昨秋、辻井が移動中の車でＡＴＳＵＳＨＩが被災地を思って歌う唱歌「ふるさと」を聴き感銘。「彼の優しい歌声と歌唱力は僕のこの作品にぴったり」と 昨年末、歌詞制作と歌唱を依頼し、ＡＴＳＵＳＨＩも快諾。前半は追憶、後半は希望がテーマで、曲調も歌詞も徐々に力強く、前向きな気持ちにさせる楽曲に仕 上がった。
歌声という新たな命を吹き込んだＡＴＳＵＳＨＩは「辻井君が被災された方々の気持ちを思い、作った曲なので、代弁させていただけたら という思いで歌詞を書き、歌わせていただきました」としみじみ。「一生懸命、心の癒やしになるように歌っていきたい」と続け、辻井とともに最大限の力と勇 気を被災地に届けていく意気込みを語った。
ATSUSHI and Nobuyuki Tsujii deliver "song of hope"
ATSUSHI (age 32) of <rock band> EXILE teams with blind pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii (24), will release a work called "EXILE ATSUSHI & Nobuyuki, Still we Live" on May 1.
The glamorous co-starring occurs two years since the earthquake on March 11, 2011. The song was originally played by Mr. Tsujii as encore at a concert in Boulder, Colorado, played; it was an improvisation for the victims. Since then, the song has often been played as encore at his performances.
Last fall, while traveling by car in the disaster area, Tsujii heard a song "home" sung by ATSUSHI, and was impressed.
"His gentle voice and singing skills are perfect for this piece of mine," he said at the end of last year, and asked for a production with signing lyrics. ATSUSHI readily agreed.
The first half of the work is a recollection, the second half is the theme of hope, the melody and lyrics gradually becoming strong, the song is finished in a positive frame of mine.
ATSUSHI breathes new life into the singing. He said enthusiastically, "I think Tsujii wrote the song from strong feelings about those who have been affected, and I wrote the lyrics to continue to speak to that feeling, and I was allowed to sing"
Two tweets in English from a blogger in Mito, Japan
Looks like Tsujii Nobuyuki and Atsushi are doing a collaboration on TV.
By the way, if you haven't heard of Tsujii Nobuyuki. Look him up on YouTube. He's a blind pianist and he's absolutely brilliant.
I tweeted back:
Some classical music fans are not exactly thrilled about this. Apparently a CD is in the offerings
The blogger tweeted back:
Yeah, I'm particularly a fan of Exile form. But it just shows how Tsujii's talent has grown mainstream.
I tweeted back:
Hi! Nobu is young - he should have fun. I don't mind. But some of his admirers in America and Europe would disapprove.

辻井さんのDVD
先月号のメルマガで、辻井伸行さんの弾き方が理想的だと書きましたが、なかなかライブを見る機会はないし、テレビでもしょっちゅう見られるわけではありません。
そこで、DVDを探したら、カーネギーホールでのライブのDVD作品がありました。
辻井伸行 カーネギーホール・デビューLIVE《完全版》 [DVD]
みなさんもご存知の通り、辻井さんは目がご不自由ですが、それは関係ありません。手首や肘の動き、無駄のない指さばき、参考にできる所はたくさんあると思 います。もちろん、彼の音楽性、表現の仕方なども実に繊細で、多くを学べます。まだ、成長過程にあると言う点を考えても、今後も楽しみなピアニストの一人 です。
ぜひ、みなさんのコレクションに加えていただきたいDVDです。
DVD of Tsujii
As I wrote in the last issue of the newsletter, it would be ideal to see how Nobuyuki Tsujii play in a live performance, but the opportunity to do so is hard to come by, and I do not often seen on TV.
Therefore, I looked for the DVD, and there was a DVD of live performance at Carnegie Hall.
"Full edition" Carnegie Hall debut Nobuyuki Tsujii LIVE [DVD]
As you know, Mr. Tsujii is visiually impaired, but it does not matter. I think there are a lot of movement of the wrist and elbow, and fingers judgment without waste. Of course, there is a very delicate way of expression in his music as well. I learned a lot. He is still in the process of growing, and is one of the pianists to watch in the future.
By all means, I recommend this DVD for your collection.
