Technical merit high, artistic impression mixed as Nobuyuki Tsujii plays Chopin

Dima Slobodeniouk returns to Cleveland for an evening of Romantic era masterworks, and pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii makes a memorable local debut.

Nobuyuki Tsujii joins the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in Tchaikovsky's ever-popular First Piano Concerto before Vasily Petrenko conducts a thrilling Shostakovich 8. 

Vasily Petrenko opens his penultimate season with RLPO in raucous style.

Nobuyuki Tsujii's debut in the Southbank's International Piano Series proves a mixed success. 

There are not many classical musicians on the international circuit who could achieve the ‘legend’ status; whose concerts would be attended by adoring fans rushing to the stage at the conclusion of the recital, who would be referred to by a nickname, suggesting an ongoing relationship and familiarity with their fans.

Manchester favourite Nobuyuki Tsujii made a welcome return to the BBC Philharmonic with Grieg’s popular Piano Concerto, followed by a thrilling performance of Mendelssohn’s Scottish Symphony, conducted by Juanjo Mena. The concert began, though, with a world première. Emily Howard was commissioned by BBC Radio 3 to write her new work, Axon, for the BBC Philharmonic.
