Shostakovich Piano Concerto No.2 with Nobuyuki Tsujii

The extraordinary pianist, an audience favourite known to his many fans as Nobu, makes an eagerly anticipated return to the Philharmonia Orchestra. Nobuyuki Tsujii, who has been blind from birth and relies on intense, incredibly detailed listening to work with an orchestra, performs Shostakovich’s upbeat Piano Concerto No.2. Written as a graduation piece for the composer’s son Maxim, its outer movements show off the soloist’s playful energy and precision, while the central slow movement is a lyrical outpouring of love.
