Nobuyuki Tsujii

One of the most famous classic pianists of his generation, Nobuyuki Tsujii was born September 13, 1988 in Tokyo, Japan. Tsujii suffered from blindness at birth due to microphthalmia. He showed a precocious knack for music and began taking formal piano lessons at the age of four. He made his professional debut with The Century Orchestra Osaka at the age of 10. At the 2005 International Frederik Chopin Competition he reached the semi-finals, and then had an international breakthrough winning the 2009 Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. He earned rave reviews there and was the central figure in the documentary A Surprise In Texas, which chronicled the competition. His regular live appearances around the world, online videos, and extensive discography made him an international figure. He has recorded works from such classical figures as Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, and Ravel, and as well as composing original material. He won a 2011 award from Japanese film critics for his contributions to film scores. To learn a piece, Tsujii works primarily by ear and has assistants record various parts of a piece so that he can study and master each of them, and then bring his own interpretation to the material.
