Nobuyuki Tsujii & Hannu Lintu – Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto 3

Description

Blind from birth, but whose artistry is witnessed by music lovers all over the world, Japanese pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii is an inspiration to musicians and composers worldwide. Accompanied by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Hannu Lintu, Tsujii performs Rachmaninoff’s towering masterpiece, the Piano Concerto No. 3. Blasting off in gravity-repelling E minor chords, John Adams’s Harmonielehre is the result of the composer’s extraordinary dream of a supertanker taking off rocket-like from the waters off the San Francisco Bay. A symphonic hyperspatial journey traversing the soundscapes of Schoenberg, Sibelius, Debussy and Mahler follows – and what a trek it is!
