Album insights

Recently joining DG, the Japanese pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii releases his highly-anticipated debut album with the label. In this album, he showcases Beethoven's challenging Hammerklavier Sonata, a technically demanding piece requiring great physical stamina. Offering a blend of Liszt's piano transcription from the song cycle An die ferne Geliebte, Op. 98, it presents a formidable musical journey. Nobuyuki, who is blind and memorizes every score, highlights the struggle in upholding focus during the intense performance, particularly in tackling the third movement. Immersing himself in Beethoven's world, he draws parallels between their mutual experiences - Beethoven losing his hearing yet composing intricate masterpieces. The album includes a bonus track, the second movement from Beethoven's Sonata No. 8 Pathetique, available in both digital and CD formats.
