Having recently signed Japanese pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii, universally known as Nobu, we are delighted to gradually reissue the pianist’s extensive classical discography. Taken from the fourth release batch of the pianist’s discography is this album with works by Chopin that is now digitally available in the DG catalogue. Tsujii has selected ten of Chopin’s etudes that are among his favourites and which he also performed at the 2009 Van Cliburn Competition – including such popular works as 'Revolutionary, ‘Tristesse’ and ‘Black Key’. In addition, there are the four ballads, which, like the etudes, he has played and perfected in countless recitals, playing them with both brilliance and passion.
