blind in vision , but not blind in heart . amazing to play that to this high level .
+Kamal Alzayer Well said.
sadly there are so many "dislikes"
+Jay Hou It's easy to get distracted by his presentation. I am not surprised by the - few - dislikes. It's to be expected and doesn't detract from the performance. Let's celebrate this guy beating the odds _and_ getting appreciated
+Jay Hou The only dislikes come from IDIOTS that don't know a damn thing about good music. Wonderful performance indeed.
+seheyt Well said. Some people cannot look past surface appearances, but judging from the comments on this page, I am heartened that many of us appreciate the great musicality of Nobu in spite of some of his unusual mannerisms that come from his being born blind.
If Rachmaninoff saw Nobuyuki Tsujii playing, he certainly would cry ...
+Arktos500 yeah, he plays It really beautifully:) think rachmaninoff would have been utterly proud of this performance of his work. I certainly loved it:)
Meu caro amigo que gosta de música , esse concerto tão bem executado alimenta a alma e o coração ,! Agradeço muito !
Восхищена талантом этого юноши! Можно часами слушать и смотреть на этого гения Нобуюки! Спасибо!
I'm crying. And this my 20th time watching it.
I totally agree with you...
I cried listening to this. Not so much because he is blind, but because it is one of the best performances I have heard of this piece. Just close your eyes and listen.
I cried because he is blind. hELP!
c'mon. He is the incorporation of musik, he is musik, and he is blind, makes the whole thing even more spectacular, exceptional. Imagine, Beethoven didn't hear later. That's HUMAN being, that's rare, so glad we can see and hear him, we THE MISERY of this world.
@@stevewilliams4159 Он лучше всех зрячих ! Этот мальчик видит ТО , что другим вообще не суждено ! Гений ! Музыка у него в душе ! Желаю здоровья , счастья и большой любви в жизни .🎹🎶🎵🎶🎼🌷🌷🌷❤❤❤👏👏👏😍
Can't even type this well. And I can see. Tsuji is pribably from heaven who was sent here to play for us beautiful music and not see all the ugliness of this world
最高です。
映像も素晴らしい。
何回視聴しても癒されます。
また今夜も就寝前に聞いてます。

Rachmaninov would have loved to see Nobuyuki perform he would have been in awe and probably shed a tear seeing a blind pianist playing his famous second concerto.
This is un-fuckingbelievably good. A blind pianist combined with an incredible orchestra that matches perfectly. Truly spellbinding and I’m not even a fan of classical music. This just randomly showed up on my feed. I can’t even remember what I ate for lunch and this gentleman can remember a 30 minute piano recital without the help of sight. Unreal, I’m freakin out.
Best performance of Rach 2 I’ve heard in 70 years. Thank you with all my heart.

@@steamballwen yOU'RE WELCOME
Nobu-san, my dear, I don't think you really know how much the sound you produce on the piano touches the souls of the listeners. We've seen all the world famous pianiste perform this tune but when we hear you, it almost like, we become pure, so openly ready and willing to taken all the greatness of Raff's great and larger than life musical drama he created. All I can say is, Thank you, Nobu. and Bravo!
💖💖💖
Nobuyuki Tsujii's piano teaches us that the tone of the piano is like a pearl ball.
i have never heard a better performance of this piece than this one. I, even if i am a pianist, am unable to feel the emotions or see the colors in a performance, except this. thank you for showing me the true beauty of music and for making me able to feel and see the colors in ones performance
I was there, it was a dream :)
Lucky you. I am keeping my eyes on his tour schedule. I don't think I will be able to see him play Rach concerto but any of his concerts will make me happy.
Lucky duck, had to make do with the tv but boy was it special. How can someone not be moved by the music and performance. Bravo Nobuyuki!
envy you! i'm japanese but have never listened to his live!
@@wanchitube i'm Enbglish. And I SEE HIM LIVE
that was great. I wish I had of been.
なんと素晴らしいことでしょう。感動です。オーケストラの演奏も素晴らしい。オーケストラのメンバーも実に気持ち良さそうに演奏してますね、辻井さん、完全にオーケストラを索引してますね、だから、オーケストラのメンバーも気持ちよさそう。指揮者とオーケストラと辻井さん、のピアノ三者一体になった演奏本当にに感動的です。幸せな気持ちになります。有難うございます。
How do the tears of joy NOT fall at the conclusion? Rachmaninoff's music alone, plus the inspiring performance, and the background of this amazing young man.
Just wonderful, all the way around.
Wow I cried at the end too. This is poignant and beautiful at the same time. He's a gift from God. :')
奇跡の演奏であり、感動には抗いようがない。
I have been a professional singer for 30 years now . listening to this I am discovering what music is , coming from heaven , another realm.
A beautiful comment!!
I just got into listening and watching these concertos at age 30 with 0 background in music and I can already tell that Tsujii is beyond extraordinary. Amazing performance.
ずる賢く生きるなんて出来ない。
どんなに理不尽でも誠実に生きていかなければ、恥ずかしい。
辻井さんの音楽は天国からの励ましですね。ありがとうございます。
明日から理不尽に負けないように、人間として恥ずかしくなく生きていきます。胸を張って。負けないぞ。
オケの人たちが笑顔！オーディエンスが笑顔。癖のない彼の演奏を全力でサポートしてくれる、こんなピアニストを私は知らない。
あんまりにも感動的で、
涙が出ます TsujiiさんのRachmaninoff No 2 が
一番 好きです
always come back to this one
心に染みる良い音辻井さん、素敵です。ありがとう
The expression on the face of the very pretty string player from 9:00-9:30 says it all. When your fellow musicians are absorbed into the performance like that, you know it's special!
Great observation. She knows it's going to be good.
Denied the personal gift of sight- he gives the whole world another.

Underrated comment, deserves more likes
underrated still after 3 years
I love Japan.
Japan saved 765 Polish orphans in 1920 and 1922. Around 1920, there were about 200,000 Polish in Siberia. Most of them died. Poland has asked various countries to save Polish orphans in Siberia. But all countries refused to rescue. Poland finally commissioned Japan to rescue Polish orphans. The Japanese emperor and empress at the time immediately ordered the Japanese to save the Polish orphans.Japan soon began rescue Polish orphans.The orphan was in Siberia. Japanese continued to rescue Polish orphans in Siberia. The smallest orphan that Japan saved was a two-year-old child.The orphan was crying near her dead mother. The Japanese immediately rescued the orphan. Polish orphans were sent to Japan for treatment. Japan fed the Polish orphans a hot meal every day. All Polish orphans have recovered. Japan continued to love Polish orphans very much. All Japanese donated money to save Polish orphans. Polish orphans were always smiling. Japan has successfully returned 765 Polish orphans to Poland.
Thanks to Japan. God bless Japan.

Nobu's play was amazing. The orchestra was beautiful. This is the best Rach2 I've ever heard.
To me, Trifonov still holds the top spot, but this is an excellent and very special performance indeed. It is certainly high up there
this guy became blind not long after his birth, although without eyesight he never gives up his loving for music and piano, he spends more time and efforts to learn what he loves, and now he is here playing unbelievable music that comforts people's mind.
check his la campanella on youtube and praise the imposibilities.
Nobukyuki...his sound is most beautiful among all other pianists I know...Rachmanionff is best represented through this beautiful mind, soul and touch.
If you appreciate Rachmaninoff played with a beautiful touch, try listening to Eric Lu also.
Not only is Tsujii's piano amazing, but all the players in the orchestra are amazing.The seriousness, tension, and smiles of all the players, shown from time to time, say it all.
The most astounding and moving performance I have seen or heard
辻井伸行さんは神から選ばれた今世紀の最高のピアニストだと思います。彼の奏でる音色を毎回聴く度に何処までもどこまでも永遠に聴いていたく思います。いつの間にか夜が開けて行きます。彼の奏でる音色に乾杯ブラボー✨‼️🍀🌹🙏
彼辻井伸行さんの人格優しい人柄、努力にも同じく乾杯✨‼️🍀🌹🤗🙏
Nobuyuki Tsuyii, your beautiful performance comforted me while staying in the ICU with my 13 year old daughter. Words can not tell the gift I received : I applaud to greatness ! Thank You!
My condolences. Is she fine now?
@@stacia6678 🙏She just started college , and She is a beautiful , happy grownup Woman. ❤️♾visvee♾❤️
何度も聞くほど良さが解る✨最後に至る道筋に退屈しない。だから、最後はとても大きく盛大な雰囲気が出てる😆こんなに良い曲を知らなかったなんて、人生で損してました♪
What a brilliant performance. I cried at the end so much. I wish the video would show a bit more afterwards.
Bless you Nobuyuki Tsujii, you are a very special soul and your playing is wonderful!
If that doesn't touch your heart, you're dead, just beautiful. I welled up with tears of joy, Rachmaninoff is my favorite composer a true genius. i know had he been alive he would have wept at the beauty of this young man, God bless him.
So beautiful! Nobu gives a flawless and equisite performance filled with emotion and wonderful phrasing - he is an absolute wonder! And the orchestra added to this magnificient performance.❤
To memorise this concerto is difficult enough and to play it without looking at the keys is a minor miracle. He had to work so much harder than other maestros. I take off my hat to you Tsujii-san. You're truly a gift from God. One of my wishes is to see you perform live, one day....perhaps..
i don't think he worked harder it is a natural gift he did work hard no doubt but it was there in the first place undeniably
@@MegaPianogenius nope,he definitely work harder
@@shawnchen156 you're right. HE'S A FRIEND OF MINE, AND HE TOLD ME HE DEFINTELY WORK HARDER. (i KNOW gLEN PERRY TOO. HES BRILL, AND HE WORK HARD - BUT NOT THAT HARD).
An incredible, AWESOME feat!
It takes a helluva lot of hard work to give a performance that looks effortlessly easy. Same with ballet.
I was simply blown away by his unparalleled talent incredible fiery temper and golden sound ................ A TRULY GREAT ARTIST HAS BEEN INTRODUCED TO THE WOLD OF MUSIC
I was overwhelmed, deeply touched. I cannot give more applause, it is masterpiece.
This is truly amazing.. First, this man is a true artist and his performance is outstanding. But second,
Nobu is great inspiration. He shows with every stroke that, against all odds, one can achieve great things with
passion, dedication and hard work.....He single-handedly silences all nay-sayers and pessimists.
I can't stop watching this guy....
This is indeed the most musical interpretation and also recording of the second Rachmaninoff piano concerto ever heard, and I think also existant. Nobuyuki Tsujii is without any doubt a huge musical genius. The sound of the orchestra and the dialog between the pianist and the orchestra ist just unique. Such an expressive sound with such an articulated expressivness by each instrument of the orchestra I never heared until now. It is ust out of this world!!! Thank you, God, that you bring among the human beings also such angels as recompense to the whole cruelties in this world!!! Again and again, I cannot think, but again and again: INCREDIBLE WHAT I HEAR HERE!!!!!! THIS KIND OF PLAYING IS PURE LOVE!!!
기적의 피아니스트다. 정말 엄청난 연주다.
Same as many audiences here...I'm in tears too. Nobuyuki's playing is simply thrilling.
ハデなパフォーマンスは要らない、これが一番、これが自分自身、という演奏ですね。オケも指揮者も素晴らしい。そこに感動があるのだと感じます。
That hug at the end was so cute, it almost made me tear up :')
10/10
+Étienne Parent Yes, the love of the conductor was touching. I don't know if you saw the 1989 cliburn competition, but i thought of how rude and cold and biting James Conlon the conductor was with Nobuyuk and his mom (or whomever that was with him) he knew this young mans condition but Conlon continued to belittle him, finally the lady with him said lets try this, and Conlon said we don't have time he should have known this , it was just a Q to give after a passage, i loathed Conlon after that, this child is remarkable and his parents have done wonders with him and you disrespect them in front of an orchestra and his behavior was so unwarranted, shame on Conlon, i hope his conscience bothered him (if he has one) and that he apologized to the lady, the orchestra and others who experienced his behavior had to be annoyed and shocked, i know i was.
@@marthajane6617 mais Tsujii fût reconnu (et fort apprécié) par d'autres maestros bien plus prestigieux que ce sombre "con long" !
He hug very good. I wish I hug this good, but I am rubbsih. hELP!
一流のピアノ🎹と音楽だと思いました。とても素敵で素晴らしい世界です。ありがとうございました🙏🏻❤️
It is really tempo - wise and rhythmically the most precise and correct, yet very musical and highly expressive, powerful and crystal clear playing, what I have never heard from a pianist before, regarding this concerto. THIS is really MUSIC, not some ridiculous nonsense sensational self - performance, fully packed with slided, uncertain tempo - changing or using molto ritartando and sforzando everywhere, leaded by sentimental emotions, out of the proper musical control. Not here! Look at the orchestra how much they accepted and loved this guy! The reason is just so clear for me. I have never seen anyone to conduct this concerto this beautifully than Mr Juanjo Mena did. His care and sensitivity to direct this deeply poetic romantic masterpiece, feels absolutely amazing and extraordinary. The full orchestra and especially the solo instruments were absolutely wonderful. This performance is going to be on of the few very favourite ones of mine.
Thanks for sharing.
I don't understand that kind of genius, that kind of perfection. If in doubt, a Lang Lang can always look at the notes. But Nobuyuki Tsujii can't see the notes, he has them all in his head. Every quarter note, eighth note, sixteenth note, thirty-second note, etc. every attack, every rest, every largo, lento, moderato, presto and prestissiomo, every crescendo and fortissimo etc. This is what makes Nobuyuki Tsujii so unique. Only God can forgive such a talent.
31:30 !!!BAAAAM!!! the greatest "BAM" in rach2 so far i know !!! best rendition of this concert imo...
One of the best version out there, it brought tear to my eyes. Simply marvelous pianist
When I see him vow after finishing his performance, my eyes are always filled up with happy tears. I feel his humbleness and gratitude toward the world despite his hardship. He is really a teacher of humankind.
i am stunned , certainly one of the best performances of Concerto #2
なんと申し上げましょうか！
感動の連続です。
オーケストラの音の響きがすばらしいです。
ノブ君も生き生きとピアノを演奏されて、
さぞ気持ちよかったのではないでしょうか。
音が一体となって、私の心に響きます。
I love how during the 3rd movement; the musicians smile with one another during the cello melody. :)
Because they haven't had so much purity, love and fun during a performance. Notice the pretty lady violinist watching him with joy during a pause
Unfathomable, his expression of love and technical prowess. What about his learning aptitude, never having seen any music, only hearing it. I weeped with ecstasy, marveling how he has such a prodigious talent, one of his senses was withheld, yet he was given the ability to learn these vastly complex compositions by ear.
+Robert Jessen God bless his parents, they must be extraordinary people.
Yes, surely:)
+Robert Jessen why would you assume he learns it by ear? Have you forgot blind people can read in braille?
+Robert Jessen I totally agree with you how someone with a disability such as that could end up being such a wonderful pianist. A few years ago i watched a couple hours on TV of the latest Van Cliburn competition. IF i am not mistaken, i believe this person won in the finals. I'm sure he had an excellent instructor, and probably learned by using a combination of listening to the music, using braille sheet music and what must have been endless hours of practice, which in time i'm sure became most enjoyable. I believe Victor Borge' played this in concert when he was only 14 On another note ( lol ) have you ever heard of Erroll Garner? One of the greatest jazz pianists ever. He could not read one-note of music yet he was a genius on the keyboard. Unbelievable.
+Abe Grimm I would BET that a good portion of his learning this song was done "by ear".
UN GÉNIE MUSICAL....
Ce garçon atteint ici, au milieu et parmi d'autres grands qui l'ont précédé ou qui interprètent à notre époque contemporaine, des sommets dans l'art qui consiste à faire renaître l'esprit de Rachmaninov ; un tel niveau d'absolue beauté, de clarté, de phrasé, une telle présence, et ce dialogue superbe avec l'orchestre qui le porte haut, est un moment très émouvant, très beau, un grand moment de romantisme pianistique qu'il convient de saluer ! BRAVO !
Recall the 1st time I heard R’s #2, was 14 yrs old and an uncle showed up with a stack of 78’s and the box-like thing to play them. It was Rubenstein playing. I was just knocked off my feet. I’ am old enough that I can recall today the thrill of my father coming home-with a radio! At three, I discovered MUSIC!! The things that people take for granted. . . This wonderful boy just adds to the thrills entering my heart!! Thank you very much.
Unbelievable Rachmaninnof and wonderful performance.
How incredibly beautiful. This young man is so brilliantly talented. It just makes me cry watching him. His mastery of the piano is beyond belief. To say nothing of performing with a full orchestra. l
....9:35 - 9:50....incredible. This musician does not produce sounds by striking the keys; rather, he extracts the sounds from the instrument. Truly a talent, blind or not. Amazing. One of the best renditions of Rach 2 I have ever heard. Bravo!
broasca testoasa mea are o boala de fund
You are right. He puts the "music" in the musical notes.
This is outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both the orchestra and Mr Tsujii
This concert is like watching a movie.
So spectacular and beautiful .
I can feel emotions between the pianist and the orchestra also the conductor .
There was a story in this particular concert.
I wish I was there .
I am impressed with how the conductor and the soloist could coordinate and synchonize so perfectly without the aid of any visual signals! Great musical sensitivity on the part of both!
Watching this utterly astonishing man of a musician, makes me truly realize that anything really is possible. For me, this is above and beyond liberating and freeing; such a joyous inspiration and I feel there is still hope for all things. May the Lord bless Tsujii in all that he has done and for what is to come.
except flying without an external source
This is one case where being able to see the keyboard might actually be detrimental to the performance. __JJ (also a composer of a neo-Romantic Piano Concerto No 2 in C Minor here on TH-cam in reverence of this one)
Xorun Daniel that also is possible.
I'm not a classical music person but this young man teaches me to listen and admire his playing. Each note he plays resonates with a beautiful voice, clarity and colour. The passion is over-whelming!
Outstanding!! The best version I have ever heard!
What an exceptional performance. This young man has a real connection with Rachmaninoff's music.
Nobuyuki Tsujii has captured the essence of Rachmaninoff's Romanticism in this performance. He is incredibly gifted and talented, a sheer musical genius. This has become one of my favorite videos and recordings. Bravissimo!
My favourite piano concerto. So much emotion, such melody. This one has it all.
Looking at the expressions on the faces of the orchestra members, you can see how complete and beautiful this music is. As the piece progresses, it becomes more and more beautiful.
I have a feeling that of all the performances of this magnificent piece over the decades, the composer himself looking down from Heaven prefers this one.
Потрясающе.
До него я больше всего любила этот концерт в исполнении Вана Клиберна.
А теперь и не знаю, кого мне больше любить.
Гениальный мальчик, попадание в самое сердце. Глаза слепы, но пальчики зрячие, а душа всевидяща. И в его исполнении я слышу юность и нежность. Удивительно.
Послушайте в исполнении С. Рихтера
Да, не рубщик мяса Мацуев!

@@user-vg1wy4wk8o со ты
@@user-vg1wy4wk8o You mean he want to be a pianist who brings people to live concert ?
Anyway I love Nobu too !
Well this concert brought me to tears. My mother introduced me to Rachmaninov and I have loved his music from the first day. Now hearing Nobuyuki play the Concerto No.2 has made me love it that much more and that's after being a fan of his for 30 some years. The emotion he brought to this piece was amazing and then to know he is blind just makes it even that much more special.
The first time I shed tears hearing this work was the first time I'd heard it, nearly 50 years ago. Today was the second time.
I play the cello. I played this in concert once with a 17 year old pianist. The best concert I ever played in. The entire orchestra was moved to tears (not to mention the audience).
Love your honest human response to this Beauty.
Exactly the same experience and timing for me. First was Horowitz.
davidhertzberg i cry every f***ing time, so beautiful
That is wonderful!!!
Beautiful!! I like nobuyuki’s Rachmaninoff piano concerto No, 2 the best and this Orchestra is also great!!
His playing is a full embodiment of the most beautiful aspect of human soul. Kudos to Nobuyuki Tsujii.
Una delle migliori esecuzioni di questo concerto che abbia mai ascoltato.
Davvero sorprendente.
Considered one of the greatest virtuosos musicians of our time
Around 20:25,Mena ,the conductor looked shaking his head a little with a smile because he felt satisfied with emotional and perfect harmony the orchestra was making. Definitely,the orchestra and audience must have been surrounded by happiness.And we are also.Thank you for this great video.
I started crying even before watching the video only to know that he is blind and would play such a difficult concerto! Actually, I'm still crying... How music can do this with us?
I even saw him live in concert playing the much more difficult third concerto. Really exceptional to think how someone can learn such a huge piece without looking at the notes.
He is born-blind.
Wait until you hear Rachmaninoff's piano concerto #3 that was in the movie Shine that Mr. Helfgott played with sweat dripping down his face.
I have great admiration for Mr. Helgott, but the thing is, Nobu plays effortlessly! He himself doesn't want to be thought of as a blind pianist. He is a virtuoso in spite of his handicap, an extraordinary pianist with unimaginable sensitivity.
I dont know, I cannot stop crying.....
Anyone knowing what it means to "make music" will understand the smiles of the cellist at 30:38....sheer bliss! Nothing beats that, not a shrink in the world who can top that!
I was imagining how the conductor would have announced to the orchestra that they were going to be playing with this genius: Yes, ladies and gentleman, we will be playing the Rach 2 with an absolutely brilliant young Japanese pianist whom you probably haven't heard of yet. He is definitely to be ranked among the better pianist of today...There is just a tiny little thing, just one snag....He is blind..
Yes, it was an amazing and inspiring moment for me as well. If I was in this orchestra, I'd cry out of sense of beauty, I am sure :|
My favourite interpretation of this concerto!
Je ne connaissais pas ce pianiste, une découverte qui m'a touchée au plus haut point, il m'a fait des moments sublimes. Quelle sensibilité et finesse, j'ai touchée aux larmes. Merci pour ces merveilleux moments et inoubliables... Clo
Bravo 👏🏽 Bravo 👏🏽 this is the Best pianist that I've heard so far in my 74 years play this Rachmaninoff Concerto 2 Blind or not it doesn't matter, this young man gave me chills. That's how good he is. Tears 😢 came to my eyes, I wish that I could be a part of this Orchestra playing my Concert Bass with the other 8 Bass players. I can just imagine how enthralled they are to be a part of this whole Event. This would be the highlight of my day. I wouldn't be able to wait for rehearsal times. This is truly Awesome. He's such a Blessing a gift from the Lord. Thank you for sharing this Wonderful video. 🙏🏽
彼の演奏はすべての人を生かす。彼は奏者と聴衆の子でありまたマスターでもある。とても美しい。。。
saw his performance 3 yrs ago. yet every time I burst into tears. Nobuyuki is the most impressive pianist to inspire the audience, musicians, definitely making Rachmaninoff stunned. How lucky we are to be able to see the notes as we learned to play. This is indeed touching to encourage all of us
Bella musica......bello spirito.....ispirazione per tutto il mondo.
incredibly musical....great performance, and orchestra too...
Tellement beau, un cadeau du ciel avec des nuances infinies. Merci Monsieur Nobuyuki Tsujii. Mes pensées vous accompagnent et continuez encore longtemps vous êtes un arc-en-ciel dans notre vie de tous les jours.
Wonder how he learned such a difficult piece. His teacher is great too.
Mon Dieu, qui peut retenir ses larmes en regardant cette vidéo! ...pas moi!. J'imagine toutes les batailles qu'il a dû mener pour arriver à ce niveau de perfection .
Comme le destin peut être dur avec certains !!!
truly remarkable the best rachmaninoff version I have ever heard
I have tears in my eyes, this is amazing.
You lucky. My tear ducts removed. hELP!
That french horn at 8:14 is so perfect, so delicate. The crescendo after that is so gradual its like flying higher higher until that moment when you pop your head above the clouds and see a magnificent sunset.
I can die happy now
Glorious. A reason for celebration.
Agree
Rach 2 will always be my favourite piece of any kind of music. In my humble personal opinion this is the most beautiful piece ever written for the piano and Nabu's emotional performance gets to me every time. Keep on playing Rachmaninov Nobu. Maybe one day I'll have the fortune of watching you live
Just been introduced to this. Wonderful and amazing.
It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This ! I'm SO GLAD to see Nobuyuki playing with an orchestra. God Bless The Human Heart. Thank You !
If you don't know much(you know who you are) then please keep your comments to yourself.....this is an incredible performance and so moving. I wish i could play like this man. Truly amazing. Thank you!
So utterly impressed by this grandmaster.. I'm at a loss for words..
ホント凄いですよね。天才の領域をはるかに超えている。
Sightedness is perhaps the real handicap, Nobu has learned from the heart whereas when I attempt to read, look, it detracts from my listening. He hears it, he gets it. This is my favourite piece and has been for over 30 years. I’ve never found an interpretation that fully speaks to me. This one does. Thank you
