Nobuyuki Tsujii plays Chopin Twelve Etudes, Op.10 during the preliminary round of the 13th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition on May 23, 2009.
Van Cliburn himself said: "He was absolutely miraculous. His performance had the power of a healing service. It was truly divine" Yes, that says it all.
Nobuyuki was born blind, I just watched a documentary about him on NHK World, it blew my mind how much greatness he has inside. He's a genius with a soul as pure as the first snow.
Wait, he's BLIND???? No matter what, if he's too fast or what, this is freaking amazing. And I do think it's very emotionally played and I do enjoy listening to it, and this tempo surprised me at first, but it really flows, and I can hear the harmonic progressions as they seem to should be, and it just WORKS. I love it, personally
I can proudly say I've had both the honor and privilege to see this amazing young man play live! Absolutely took my breath away, and took me to another world, even if it was for a little while. Thank you Tusji-san!
He won this competition though which is only held once every 4 years and professional pianist from all over the world come to compete. He is one of the best pianist in the world right now
So far he is the only pianist in the competition that moves me. Not because he's blind but because the strong emotion and coloring in his music. No one else has achieved his level. No matter how the jury decide he's already the winner. Look at the audience, they gave him a standing ovation immediately after his performance, but were more reluctant to stand for other pianists. That explains everything. There might be some politic games among juries but the reaction of audience does not lie!
He has PLENTY technique. There's a lot of drama and poetry in his playing. Being able to hit notes exactly as loud as you want to is also a matter of technique and athleticism.
All Japanese are proud of him. I am also the same. I saw him of the grade-schooler in the news programming in old times. I recall having thought his growth to be the enjoyment. Bravo!!!!!

It was good seeing you in Fort Worth we had a good time hope you liked Boomer Jack's. Take care my friend and keep playing like The Greatest Ones cause you are one of them. God Bless you.
più lo guardo e lo ascolto più mi sembra impossibile che un essere umano, senza la vista,possa raggiungere certi gradi di bravura. Se madre natura lo ha privato del senso della vista, gli ha regalato in compenso TANTO che pochi esseri umani integri possiedono. Bravo Nobuyuki, ci allieti la vita. Armando
Anything Nobyuki Tsujii touches just becomes better. There is so much emotion in his performances.I'm a burly man but his art has made me cry and laugh or even angry ( for all the good reasons )
Nobuyuki definitely had a stronger performance than Haochen Zhang. Zhang's music was incredibly, impeccably clean, but he didn't have the same force or sound that Nobuyuki was producing. Nobuyuki drew the audience in, in a way that Zhang could not. What it comes down to for the Cliburn isn't technical skill (everyone is practically perfect), but the extra, powerful emotion conveyed by the musician that absolutely captivates the audience. Nobuyuki deserved his gold.
Everyone knows that 10/2 is so difficult, but I have to say, 10/1 is pretty bonkers tough, too. It's like, you get to 70% after a few days of working on it, and get to 71% after another month, and that's how it goes. This is incredible playing. He keeps such an ear out for the long-term picture, the overarch, of each etude.
I play piano and ... with reading the music and carefully watching the piano keys not to hit the wrong keys, playing chopin's etude is super hard, so playing without looking at the piano.... that's plain unimaginable .... Total respect to this god made pianist.
One word... just WOW. I don't even know what to say. I'm completely breath-taken. Especially the first etude... all those arpeggios... Dang. I have some serious respect for this guy.
I remember reading somewhere that his teacher records pieces at a very slow tempo, and that he learns largely by ear. I can't imagine having to read braille for piano...
I saw him last night at the bridge water hall playing chopins piano concerto, and it brought me to tears! And then even more so when I found out he was blind. Even though are blind pianists, like stevie wonder, they just don't compare! Because his technique is through the roof!!!! It was the best concert I've been to!
I hope this guy will have everything that he deserves! We can not even imagine how difficult is to achieve this level even without being blind. Like this it's almost impossible and he managed anyway! I am astonished and amazed. I agree, First prize immediately!
Van Cliburn himself said:
"He was absolutely miraculous. His performance had the power of a healing service. It was truly divine"
Yes, that says it all.
Nah it could have been much better. A few missed notes and lack of musicality.
@@ilovemycatrussell9298 Missing Notes? He’s blind okay? Can you do better than this blind guy😍🤩
Agree
世界が認めた唯一無二の存在❗️素晴らしいピアニスト辻井伸行さん‼️いつも感動をありがとうございます💓
凄い の一言。。。素晴らしすぎる!
辻井さんの演奏を見ること実はファイナルラウンドからですけど、ところが、ショパンのピアノ協奏曲第1番もラフマニノフの協奏曲2番もベートーベン・ソナタ第23番 "熱情"も、聞くと、本当に心から思わずに涙が出させる様な大きな感動。
まさにオフィシャルにおいてのコンメト-これは本当に大きな瞬間だと思いました。
最後、おめでとうございます、辻井さん。
彼は、私の心に光を吹き込んだ
あなたは日本の誇りであり
偉大な歴史上の音楽家の方々も
喜んでいることでしょう。
彼の演奏は指も音もオドオドせず自信を持って堂々と弾いていますよね。
たくさん練習を積み重ねてきたのがよく分かるし、感性も良いのでしょう、映像を見ずに音だけ聴いていてもぐっとひきこまれました。
仕事から帰って来て彼の演奏を聴いてリラックスできました。
音が本当に綺麗 ✨~🎹~✨
まさに、魂を揺さぶる音ですね。
感動をありがとう。
そして優勝おめでとう!
His performance gets to the innermost recesses of human's soul. 辻井さん、すばらしい演奏を本当にありがとう!
本当に素晴らしい
Nobuyuki was born blind, I just watched a documentary about him on NHK World, it blew my mind how much greatness he has inside. He's a genius with a soul as pure as the first snow.
Blindess is not that of the eyes...but it is that of the hearts...he is not blind. He sees the truth that we cannot.
Well said - thank you
ニュースでやっていたので、さっそく聴いてみました。
驚きました。この演奏はすごい。
引きつけてくれますねえ・・・

数年前から音色が輝いていましたが、
さらに素晴らしいこの演奏は、
世界最大の「カリナン・ダイヤモンド」の原石であったことを証明しましたね。
おめでとうございます!!
人に勇気や感動を与えられるって素晴らしい。さすが優勝者ですね。
昔TVのドキュメンタリーで見た愛らしい少年がこんなに立派に成長していてびっくりです。
クラシックのことはよく分かりませんが、彼の音はとてもロマンチックに響くのでウットリと何度でも聴いてしまいます。
優勝おめでとうございます。今後のご活躍を強く祈念いたします。
Oh my goodness. This video, his amazing playing style and skills...never seem to get old. :')

辻井さんて、自分が欲する表現がされるのですごく好きです
今日、サントリーホールで辻井伸行さんのコンサートに行きました。別れの曲 生できけて最高でした。。
ココ
いいなぁ
10月はパリでコンサートあるみたい
心に響いてくる音色です。
本当におめでとうございます!!
流れるような速いアルペジオがとっても感動的ですウワァァ-----。゚(゚´Д`゚)゚。-----ン!!!!
10年後彼はどの様な音色でピアノに向かっているのでしょう❣️きっと大人になって🧑もつとふかく
Beautiful! I can see, and still cannot play the piano like this. This dude is AWESOME!
Simply amazing.... the more understand his personality, the more appreciate his piano ... I am so lucky to be able to listen his music.
I love this blind guy. He is amazing!!!
上手な演奏家は他にも沢山いるでしょうが、彼の場合、音の響きが素人にも分かりやすく、心の奥というか魂にぐっと来るものを持っています。そういう人は少ないと思います。そして、なにより彼が本当に音楽を愛しているんだなと改めて思います。優勝おめでとう!これからもがんばってくださいね!
辻井先生、息子さんのご快挙おめでとうございます!!

Such a big talent!! I love every single etude he interprets here!!! Just amazing!!
Great!!
おめでとうございます :)
音の大きさが確実で、聴いてて思わずひきこまれる音色ですね。
I love this boy! He's amazing! Technique, sound and soul...! He's my favourite with Mariangela Vacatello and Evegenii Bozhanov!
wow he has such amazing tone! absolutely fantastic
Nobukuki Tsujii, completely blind pianist since birth. Won the Cliburn Gold in the 2009 Competition.
buddysgirl3 Not since birth
@@cookieoreo713
彼は生まれた時から全盲ですよ🌸
でも、彼は心の目で見えるしピアノが弾けるから目が見えなくてもいいと言ってました。
もし、一度だけ目が見えたらお母さんの顔を見たいと言ってました。
The second etude - butterfly wings. Wonderful!
Direct, without affectation, true, intelligent, sensitive win or lose, a great artist.
He has PLENTY technique.
There's a lot of drama and poetry in his playing. Being able to hit notes exactly as loud as you want to is also a matter of technique and athleticism.

How the dynamics are so closely aligned to the "physiology" of each figuration - the inevitability of it all.
And what sonority!

Yes, it is truly amazing how he can play so well without seeing.
美しすぎる

You would never know he's blind and has been since birth. What an extraordinary accomplishment!
i just got the goosebumps.. i can't explain in words, it's too good.. one thing is for sure. he explains the definition of music
I play piano and ... with reading the music and carefully watching the piano keys not to hit
the wrong keys, playing chopin's etude is super hard, so playing without looking at the piano.... that's plain unimaginable .... Total respect to this god made pianist.
oh my!!! what's not to like???? amazing!
beautiful
one word: inspiring
Perfect!
5 stars!
Congratulations!!!
Fantastique ! J'aime.
makes lang lang look like a student
Amazing...
GOLD !
Estas personas son increíbles y bellas... magnifico!
I HAVE NO WORDS TO DESCRIVED !!!
listen to him play Kapustin etude, its amazing
Absolut perfect
wonderfull. He's so talented ... Japonese people are very good in arts. Thank's a lot for this movie. I wish I could buy a CD of in interpretation !
His father said that his piano teacher plays and teaches him how to play it one-by-one. It doesn't take him much time to memorize all....Amazing!
Magnificent...
Excelente!
HE IS COMING TO MY SCHOOL TONIGHT I CANT WAIT TO SEE HIM LIVE
ti ammiro! 6 un genio!...mi ricordavo di te dal concorso chopin .... grazie !!!
great performance, especially no. 4
fantastaic... can't breath
Unfassbar, eine Sensation. Man muss ihn sehen und hören zugleich.
One word... just WOW. I don't even know what to say. I'm completely breath-taken. Especially the first etude... all those arpeggios...
Dang.
I have some serious respect for this guy.
I remember reading somewhere that his teacher records pieces at a very slow tempo, and that he learns largely by ear.
I can't imagine having to read braille for piano...
Every single note he plays on the piano sounds like dewdrops trickling down fresh green leaves. :')

Bravo...bravo...
Sensacional esta interpretación.
Listening to this performance, he is "competition proof"
I simply can't believe he performed the fiendishly difficult #2 immediately, without much rest, after the #1, which is still one of the hardest.
amazing, im moved.
