Japanese genius pianist.
Then,he was only 15 years old !

[@konguDK]

これがほぼ20年前の演奏だと思えない、、 やっぱり辻井さんのカプースチンが最高だよ。

[@hanautamikan659]

あまりにも美しくて、衝撃的で、聞いてると夢の世界へ誘われる。 凄すぎます。 そして15歳の時の演奏ってビックリ！ はまりすぎて一日中何度も何度も聞いて、寝る前に聞いて寝てます。

[@DonmaiVatican]

やっぱりここへ戻ってきてしまう。音の粒がキラキラしてて心が震えます。 辻井さんのカプースチンは最高です！

[@vi---]

心がサーーーーーっと水で洗い流されるよう。はぁー、全てが素敵な辻井さん。。✨

[@jeffgrigsbyjones]

Not just impressive for being blind, but impeccable and brilliant by any standard.

[@milkyway8609]

初めて聞いた時、自然に涙が出ていた なんで泣いたのか分からなかった もう一度聴いて、奏でる音があまりにも美しくて泣いたんだと分かった それから盲目のピアニストだと知り、本当に驚いた

[@mohsuke]

生きててよかった。 これは世界一美しい情景の一つです。 This is one of the most spectacular soounds in the world.

[@LK-yb3my]

カプースチンも綺麗に弾くんですね……すごい……

[@グングニルの光の戦士]

カプースチン氏ご本人が演奏なさった原曲を聞いた事あるけど、ごめん、辻井伸行さん演奏の方が美しい！

[@桃子我]

初めてこの演奏を聴いて、驚きと、衝撃を受けました。弾いている姿に引き込まれました。とっても素敵な曲ですね。🎹感銘を受けました。 脱帽です。

[@borussa8322]

辻井さんの弾くカプースチンほど素晴らしいものは無い。

[@BAKASUGI]

楽聖です。

[@sawako9852]

こんな若い頃からこの曲が弾けたんですね。恩師の影響もあったことだろうけど、すごいです。

[@ferrarib3652]

あーーーーーーーーーうつくしい…

[@momoryu4130]

えっ！？ 辻井さん15歳で、カプースチンをここまで弾けれてたの？ 凄い！！信じられない！ 私は25歳前後で習得したのだと思ってた！ 15歳でなんて・・・ やっぱり彼は音楽の神様でしょ！ 生まれ持っての才能としか言いようがない。😮 ジョン・マストの難曲をクライバーンのコンクールで楽譜無しで弾ける訳ですよね😅 ただただビックリです！ そして彼はとても心が美しい。音に出ている。 生まれて初めて神様に会えた！！

[@日高百合子-p8x]

辻井さんの中にある記憶されている曲の数、時間を考えると超人とも！やっぱり凄い❗️世界一の天才ピアニストである‼️👍️

[@tarikeld11]

I don't believe I'm saying this but I like this version more than Kapustin's!

[@ケルケルマイケル]

昔から何回もこの演奏聴いているけど、いつも泣きそうになるのは何故なんだろう？音の粒が、何かを浄化してくれるんだよな。今日もありがとう。

[@mohsuke]

わかる

めっちゃ共感できちゃうw I feel the same way haha

[@夜夢後のやわ]

I feel so tooo bro lol

[@GirlFromNippon]

I really love his rendition of Kapustin... This is just...PERFECT ! :') しかし....まつ毛 長いー ! XD

[@ranadeau]

Nobu blew everyone away at the Cliburn Competition in 2009 at the young age of twenty....a very unique talent who despite his lack of sight performs as well as many highly respected pianists. Well known Cliburn judge, Menahem Pressler, (Beaux Arts Trio and Jacobs School of Music), was brought to tears by Nobu's playing. Maybe his lack of sight has given Nobu a different perspective on music. BTW His first name is Nobuyuki not Tsujii. My favorite pianists (Horowitz, DeLarocha, Peterson, and Tatum) have all passed away but talents like this come along and fill the gap.

[@laurafort1]

Penso che l'esecuzione di Nobuyuki sia la migliore che io abbia mai sentito- Stupendo studio op.40-2 di Kapustin - Nobuyuki è semplicemente meraviglioso -

[@ffxi1031]

凄すぎる。。。。。 何故これほどまでに正確なタッチで弾くことができ、 心の琴線に触れる演奏が出来のか、全くもって信じがたい。

[@cubanbach]

What can I add to what the world has already been said? Nobu has been kissed by God. This is nearly beyond belief. He is my new inspiration for life, for living, for being.

[@emmalee866]

He is my new found inspiration too. I found Nobu just last night. I was all tears and cannot wait to send his story to all my friends. Merry Christmas.

[@bbb3d]

辻井さんのすばらしいところは、ほんとに自分で音楽を楽しんでいることだ。 この曲のJazzの要素もよくだしてる。

[@metallwater]

About Tsujii's touch I agree with you: The sound he creates in this piece reminds me of those by George Shearing - these unbelievably beautiful and sensitive tones I admire so much, where do they come from?

[@サンタルチア-h6j]

カプースチン最高！

[@salonde]

盲目なのにスゴイ。 ではなくて、本当に音がスゴイです。

[@user-shinha]

It's completely jazz music from minute one. And it has a great groove to it even though it's playing so fast. What a pleasant sound!

[@flyingsayon]

This guy is a gem and his playing is very mature, unlike most of prodigies, who only master to play fast and precise and keep the basic dynamics.

[@tiffanyzette7308]

So true. I'm tired of listening to other Asian pianists' Kapustin's pieces who are just obsessed in competing how fast they can play it. It's simply exausting. But this? Amazing. Relaxation. No other Asian pianists played like this. Nobuyuki is the answer for me. He has made me interested in Kapustin's music.

[@MrDaiohAzu]

So true... It's beyond ridiculous how each and every chinese pianist are always in this competition mentality of "i must be the fastest to not be a disappointment to my family", so just rush it, shit and piss all over the song to prove they're the "best". Meanwhile, japanese pianists are like : "hey, what if we make it sound... good ?" And BOOM -> Tsujii Nobuyuki. This guy is brilliant

[@Grubenpony12]

Masterpiece and a Masterplayer!

[@DelaneyDooley]

This is inspiring as another 15 year old playing this!

[@ReturnOfTheStienway]

I had no idea he played Kapustin stuff... He is SOOO GOOOOOOD!!!!!

[@MichaelConwayBaker]

Just amazing. Fabulous musicianship.

I am so happy to listen to Tsujii !!! He is fantastic. I wonder if the critics that wrote bullshits about him after the Van Cliburn 2009 are listening him playin Kasputin at 15 yold. !!! GO TSUJII !!!!!!!!

Increadible

[@jamesc8311]

This is a man who lives for the music; you can tell by the way he plays. Each note is deliberately played with emotion in each wave of his hand and fingertips

[@yagiz885]

A wonderful interpretation!

[@ilikeplayingffftonecluster851]

I was mistaken. It seems like he has recordings from volunteers who read out each individual note of the entire score for him to learn. Still insane, and even more so for the people who are willing to do that for him.

[@yagiz885]

[@ilikeplayingffftonecluster851]

@@yagiz885 I thought he learned from recordings completely by ear.

[@bluenoteboston]

Simply outstanding!

[@RavelsReject]

his touch is so special. listen to his layers he created. gosh, hes the modern mozart!

[@PSearPianist]

That is truly amazing playing by anyone - sighted or not!

[@ЛюдмилаГорячкина-о8к]

Фантастика.

[@radiokid2]

truly scary...hands aside, he NAILS the music....I'm an instant fan! The only other times I felt this was Keith Jarrett doing jazz, Glenn Gould doing Bach and Murray Perahia doing Beethoven.

[@Davideberti]

Can someone explain to me how he learns such difficult songs? just by ear? it's impossible

[@hp-tabby]

I recommend a video titled ' 辻井伸行 世界への道 ' on KZbin. It's in Japanese but worth watching. Hope you find the answer.

[@Davideberti]

@@hp-tabby can you give me link? Because i can 't Copy Japan...

better than Kapustin:P

[@urnice4172]

Wow, he's good. ^o^///

[@mysterium364]

Sometimes a random feeling comes over me and I smell something that isn't there. Often times, the smell is something that I have never smelled before. When this recording started, I smelled a sweet perfume that I don't think I have smelled before. I wonder if I will ever smell it again.

[@OziCastle]

I think you may have synesthesia or however you spell it

[@mysterium364]

@@OziCastle I don't think so, It's usually completely random and has no association with any current experience 99 percent of the time. It does correlate to old memories, but that's normal because the smell nerves and memory nerves are right by each other from what I hear.

[@OziCastle]

@@mysterium364 interesting 🤔

[@eFatz83]

@demosj Actually i like this performance a bit more than hamelin from an interpretation standpoint. Tsujii plays more clean, more "secco", which i think is more loyal to Kapustin's own approach, whereas i think Hamelin is too "romanticised". Just my opinion though, takes nothing away from the fact that Hamelin is a super virtuoso also

[@dabi_]

Just hanging around here enjoying the music in 2024 ~

[@Luky75]

I applaused too

[@DragonGooey]

@xodn3300 Oops, I guess I kinda overexaggerated the difficulty. After I tried varying the fingerings for each chord-trill thing, things were a little more smoother.

[@lauritsougaard]

@tdavis2797 Indeed, kapustin is the real genious. It is Kapustin that have created new music out of his genious brain while Tsuji is - in a good matter anyway - 'merely' copying the scraps of a real genious. Not forgetting the fact that Tsuji still is a phenonemal pianist. But to say Tsuji is better than Kapustin would in a way be like saying Arthur Rubinstein is better than Chopin or Liszt or that Gould is more genial than Mozart or Beethoven

[@hghan]

bravo!!!

[@Legolaks18]

범사에감사하라

[@lauritsougaard]

@sephirothpuppet Who, Kapustin or Tsujii Nobuyuki?

[@ikemaster9]

@Sepharite His teacher plays every note very slowly and Tsujii learns it all by ear like that.

[@taikiyamada2755]

アップロードされた年に聞きましたが、作曲者本人の弾き方と全く同じに聞こえるのがすごい...

[@hananonakama]

Congratulations!!!

[@鷹野ふみ子]

失礼しました😂15才でしたか😮 川上先生がカプースチンを尊敬されていらっしゃるのですよね❤ 辻井さんがジャズかクラシックか　迷ったけどクラシックにされた　と言われていたのがわかりますね🎶👏👏👏👏

Oh, JAZZ

[@Sepharite]

If he's blind, how does he learn songs? he must be amazing perfect pitch...

[@crazyovermozart]

He should WIN WIN WIN ♫ ♫ ♥

[@ilovegolang]

very interesting sounds

[@HanzoMX88]

nooo...keep in mind that Kapustin's recording dates back to 1986 and couldn't possibly generate that tone with the equipment provided to him. even currently, Kapustin continues to record on a "dated" instrument--to put it mildly. Tsuji's recording IS superior to that of kapustin's own. however, to say Tsuji is BETTER would warrant some reprehensible implications regarding Kapustin's mastery of the instrument.

delightfully

[@DragonGooey]

Wow..I tried to learn this..left hand was a piece of cake. Then I tried the right hand....it made me want to give up immediately. It takes an immense amount of finger control to shift back between the thumb+pinky and the index+ring finger. Man..anyone have any advice to help me for the right hand?

[@Sam67515]

10 years ?! I trying to learn it so I guess you have advice now lol ? Really I’m struggling for the right hand

[@gtyler7292]

his music is especially popular in Japan so it isn't too big of a surprise.

[@HanzoMX88]

@magicmrmadman true as life..

[@kdj24370]

I love the guy...but this reeks of competition pianism. Where's the Kapustin edge ?

[@JonZSmith]

Yes its chopin-y, but not Kapustin-y. Too plain and dull.

[@MrDaiohAzu]

you find it dull ? On the contrary i find it incredibly expressive.... He's not placing everything in the tempo and accentuate just the right notes when he has too, in my opinion this is the one of the best performance i've ever heard, either in term of mechanic and sensibility

[@1sewak1genj1n]

来年の東京JAZZFes、辻井さん、カプースチン弾いてくれないかな？今年はN響が詰まんない曲を30分もやりやがって辟易したよ。
