[raulamilcar1]

We can see the God`s voice, too

[perfutarou]

あれ？

気づいたらキーボードの上に水滴がいっぱい落ちてる

[knock4321]

just listen to that MELODY! How beautifully played....!!!!!!!

[ppBlacksevenpp]

this made me cry! amazing....just amazing

[museofmusicanddance]

何度聴いても切なくなります。

オケが残念ではありますが、伸行さんの

汚れないクリアな音色に涙が出ます。

本当に素敵です！

Breathtakingly beautiful sounds!

Nobuyuki's crystal pure sounds trully moves me with tears even after listening to it manyy times... fresh heatache everytime.

[nakami2001]

第一楽章の出だしもそうでしたが、やはり第三楽章でも4:28と­4:41のところで不自然にオケのテンポが早くなっている気がし­ます。それでもまったく霞まない辻井さんの演奏力は感嘆に値しま­す。

[pakseng1]

Beautiful !

[giocurve]

He is a gift from God! What a superb unbelievable miracle talent!

[bokutokimi3]

本当に心が洗われます。

so beautiful 

[MonsoonWinds6]

This is beautiful. He seems so happy and full of life and joy. I hope he's a Christian because he looks like he is filled with Gods love.

[MrRaphaelBM]

the quality of the orchestra is amazing but the bit is not well.

[alohaauiaoe380]

Does the conductor have ears?

[bloodycheekymonkey]

I cried like a baby to this last night at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester - amazing performance!! 

[castout888]

AHHHH what happened to the orchestra at 4:28 !?!?!?!? they got ahead of him..incredible performance nevertheless

[cubanbach]

@castout888 I am really disppointed with Maestro Conlon here...he seems to have his own agenda at play and his players are winsome to even dare to get back on track. I hope he has better days in the opera house.

[benjosephcuyacot]

arigato!

[lister1nePaz]

Though he has a firm touch and strong hands, he can't produce as much volume as he should because he can't strike the keys from high up as other professionals do, because it would be too difficult for him to do so accurately. Nor are his staccatos as crisp as others' because he can't dart around with his hands like a sighted pianist might. The overall effect is that his performance is somewhat muted and overly controlled. I wish there could be a wider range of dynamics and textures.

[mlliu2006]

@lister1nePaz Others have expressed this same opinion, but if you were at Tsujii's performance in the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, England, Feb. 11, 2011, you would have witnessed an electrifying performance. For many, technicalities are not as important as the overall impact of a performance - the head versus the heart. Nobuyuki will be touring in March in Japan performing this and the Tchaikovsky 1 in 10 concerts.

[sushiandkimchi]

Wonderful!

[sweetfishfamily]

This director is really suck..

[nikoniko303]

辻井君の素晴らしいピアノの音色を天国のラフマニノフも微笑みな­がら聞いてくれていたと思います♫

[mlliu2006]

Nobuyuki Tsujii will perform Rachmaninoff Concerto Number 2 in Japan, England, and Canada in March-April 2011. Google "nobufans" for a site that has a full list of his concerts scheduled for 2011.

[marinaayakashunsuke]

4:10からを非常に楽しみにしておりました。

すばらしいです。

盲目とか関係なく

一流のピアニストとしてすばらしいです。

[spiritualhealingct]

This has to be the most BORING performance I have ever heard. If I had 30 breaths of life left and knew nothing of computer programming, I could design a program that was 10x as expressive as this. I have tears in my eyes about how insensitive we have all become that this type of automatic and heartless playing is actually looked at as inspirational. How sad!

I can't imagine what one of the great expressive pianists from the mid-century would think about this performance...so sad!

[chocotastic]

@spiritualhealingct Annnnnd YOU sir, is what is wrong with classical music and its listeners today. No, he is not Rubenstein, no, he is not Horovitz. He is Nobuyuki Tsujii, a blind Japanese pianist who fell in love with the piano when he could barely walk and made that his entire life. Perhaps you don't find his performance very riveting, but I, along with plenty of other viewers have evidently found this performance to be absolutely captivating.

[goodguysdoll]

@chocotastic Thank god he's no Horror-witz. He's much much better. I'm so sick of the undeserved Horowitz worshipping.

[chocotastic]

@spiritualhealingct The point of it all is that at least for myself and plenty others, his performance of this piece hit that spot emotionally where feelings are experienced that are beyond our immediate understanding. For you to arrogantly bombast about how boring you found it and thought it was the most expressionless performance ever is a flat out insult to everyone who legitimately connected with this performance.

[spiritualhealingct]

@chocotastic

I'm sorry that your deadened and desensitized stone cold heart cannot begin to feel. I can't imagine what your parents did to you to have you so emotionally cut off and so rudely judge my beautiful critique. It is people like you who have no ability to feel, are extremely irresponsible, and react with such ignorance instead of observing that are putting a quick end to this world. Try taking some responsibility for your own experiences and stop projecting your unconsciousness.

Best.

[chocotastic]

@spiritualhealingct I'm going to go ahead and let readers decide which reply is the retarded one here.

[IVlr3vil]

@spiritualhealingct I'm going to have to disagree with your critique as it wasn't an unbiased critique, but a very biased opinion. Constructive criticism is one thing and an opinion is another. By putting your opinion here, expect yourself to defend your opinion. Attacks to users don't strengthen your opinion nor is your criticism a well thought out one.

[richard1j]

Flawless and inspired performance. Too bad the accompaniment is not controlled better by the conductor. Drowns out the piano in spots and shouldn't.

[chocotastic]

That finale... absolutely jaw-dropping. Wow.

[pandapandayo]

純度１００％って感じだわ

[03300108]

すっかり伸行さんのファンになってしまい、毎日聴かせていただい­ております。

オケのみなさんも、伸行さんの音がお好きなんですね。

伸行さんと一緒にいい音楽を創り上げたい、という気持ちが伝わっ­てきます。

[MyHappy777]

聴くたびにあらたな感動で涙がでます。本当にすばらしい！！！

[OrangeSodaKing]

Oh how I wish I could have been in that audience! I'd love to see him live!

[shishirth]

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dpalavi]

POWERFUL performance!

[manonsky]

are wondering how can he be on time with the director?????

HE CAN HEAR THE DIRECTOR'S BREATHING!!

ISNT IT AWESOME WHAT THE HUMAN IS AVALABLE TO DO???

[ryuponzka]

なんて素晴らしい演奏でしょう！

[13PUR1LA]

I can't stop my eyes from tears... this is unbelievable...

...and here we can see God's face

[cubanbach]

@13PUR1LA Indeed, the infinite loving face of God shines from within this blessed soul...

[nozopoly]

辻井さん、素晴らしい演奏です。今後もっと伸びると思います。素­晴らしい！

[whizkid7562]

Thoroughly enjoyed the WHOLE concert.

He is a amazing pianist despite his handicap. An awesome performance.

Thank you for the wonderful upload.

[tomatopiza12]

素晴らしい演奏だと思います！

最後、指揮者の方、「ブラボー！」って言ってませんか？

[skyblue444777]

もうちょっと、音が大きいとよかった。
