"Nobuyuki Tsujii in Paris" BS-Fuji 12月17日(日)
Preview video => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOvtId3dp4E
Japanese information 情報 => http://www.bsfuji.tv/tsujii/pub/007.html
English information => http://mlliu2006.blogspot.com/2017/12/nobuyuki-tsujii-paris-2017-fuji-tv.html
The show was aired on a Sunday evening, and most people in Japan probably recorded the show and will watch it later. We can expect to hear more from them throughout the week. From the comments that have come up, the show ends with about 30 minutes of footage from the Paris recital (I was there). A couple of tweets mentioned that the duet-piano piece that Nobu plays is Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D major
With any luck, we will get to see more clips from the show. Please stay tuned.

BS Fuji's Tsujii-kun's performance in Paris, a closely watched program, which seems very comfortable to listen to right from the beginning; watching TV after a long time. # Nobuyuki Tsujii
https://twitter.com/mio0804/status/942381303227285504
Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii at BS Fuji is visiting the house where Chopin and George Sands lived. Chopin loves children and makes a marionette mini theater in the house. A nice house.

辻井伸行Xパリ。辻井さんのピアノの原点。ショパンをたどるドキュメンタリー。すごく楽しそうで幸せそうな時が流れて行きます。彼の心の目にはどんな風景が見えているのでしょう
Nobuyuki Tsujii in Paris. The origin of Tsujii's piano. Documentary that follows Chopin's footsteps. A time that seems to be very happy and the happiness flows. He sees the landscape through his hearing.

BSフジの辻井伸行さんの番組を見て、番組とはいえ、彼にショパンゆかりの場所に行って、いろいろな体験をしてもらって、見ている側も、嬉しい気持ちになりました。BSフジさん、感謝です I watched the program of Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii on BS. Even though it was a TV program, I went to places that are related to Chopin, and had various experiences that made this viewer also felt happy. BS Fuji, thanks.

BS Fuji's " Nobuyuki Tsujii × Paris -- the Night when Chopin fluttered down" It was a good program that was both pleasing to the eyes and the ears. I heard a lot of Mr. Tsujii's performances, and picked up the differences between antique and modern pianos. I watched the whole two hours. The sound of the piano these days is totally different, and many songs were composed to play with this sound.

偶然チャンネル変えたら辻井伸行さんがTVに出てらした(BS) 内容は、ショパンに纏わるパリへの旅と、彼のコンサート(の一部)。 素晴らしかった…。 辻井さんの才能と努力と体力に圧倒された。最後の、ショパンの30分にも及ぶエチュードなんてもう。 芸術番組は愉しい。 By chance changing the channel, Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii appeared on TV (BS), the journey to Paris with Chopin and his concert (partial). It was wonderful…. I was overwhelmed by Mr. Tsujii's talent, efforts and physical strength. Alas, there is no more than 30 minutes of Chopin's etudes. Art programs are pleasant.

Nobuyuki Tsujii 's performance was wonderful. I do not like Fuji Television, but BS Fuji produced this program!
https://twitter.com/n_and_you05/status/942389003843596288
The program of Nobuyuki Tsujii currently showing on BS Fuji is too good ...... Chopin ... ... I love Chopin ... ~ ~ Piano is my favorite musical instruments ~! ! Next year when I have a little time I want to play the piano again ...... I only feel like I am myself when playing the piano
https://twitter.com/myao1234/status/942388795646676993
辻井伸行さんの特集みてる。音色が綺麗。透き通ってる。きっと彼の心が綺麗なんだろうなあ。素晴らしいI am watching a special feature of Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii . The tone is beautiful. It is transparent. I wonder if his heart is beautiful. Great.
https://twitter.com/takaiyukiko/status/942387829493063680
Nobuyuki Tsujii in Paris. Performance at the Champs Elysees Theater. I'm sure it will be broadcast repeatedly. It is a program that I want to watch again, since I have not finished watching it, I think that I want to watch it again and again. It was a long time since I watched.

Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii 's finger work is not just magic anymore but a supernatural thing.

BSフジで辻井伸行さんのパリのコンサートやってました。 いろいろ考えながら観て(聴いて)ましたが、一つ、新しい人生の軸ができました。I was watching a concert in Paris by Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii with BS Fuj. Thinking (listening), I gained a new axis of my life.

今回はショパンやリストが弾いた年代物のピアノで結構演奏していましたよ。リサイタルもショパンのエチュードたっぷり。 あ、高校時代の親友と日本音楽コンクールにも出ていたジャン・ミッシェル キムさんが登場してびっくりしました。The show this time is about the period of Chopin and Liszt. The recital has a lot of Chopin etudes. And, I was surprised that Jean Michel Kim, [Nobu's] high school best friend and Japanese music competition contestant, appeared in the show.

...《ショパンの12のエチュード》はヴァン・クライバーン・コンクールでも弾いた曲おねがい あの頃は伸君だったけどおねがい 今はピアニスト辻井伸行さん照れThere is a performance of "Chopin's 12 Etudes" as played on the Van Cliburn contest.
At that time it was Nobuyuki, but now he is pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii
コンクールとは違うプロのピアニストの演奏を聴いてまた感動しましたおねがい
アンコールは《ラ・カンパネラ》
言葉もありませんキョロキョロ
I was touched again by listening to the performance of a professional pianist different from the competition
Encore is "La Campanella"
I have no words either.
この日、この時、この場所に居られた方が本当に羨ましい照れ
個人的には高校の同級生と一緒にピアノを弾く2人の楽しそうな姿がとても印象的でした爆笑
テレビだけど素敵な時間を過ごす事が出来ました照れ
ああ〜頑張れそうです笑い泣き
On this day, the one who stayed in this place at this time is really jealous and envious
Personally, the fun appearance of two high school classmates playing piano was very impressive LOL
I was able to spend a wonderful time even though it was just TV.
Oh ~ I'm going to do my best. Laughter and tears.
終わったところだけど録画でもう一度見ようウインク
It's over but I will watch it on recording again.

辻井伸行パリショパンも演奏したサロンで大親友のピアニストジャンミ君と会い、2人で音大付属高校のコンサートで弾いた思い出の🎼モーツァルト『2台のピアノのためのソナタ』をノブ君リクエスト♪久々の親友と音で会話し響き合い凄い素敵だった✨多忙な彼にとってはとても大事で素敵な時間になった
Nobuyuki Tsujii also met with a close friend, pianist Jean Michel Kim, in a P aris salon where Chopin performed. The two (Nobu and Kin) played in high school concerts together. The Mozart Sonata for 2 pianos was requested by Nobu. He talked with his best friends for a long time and their music resonated and was amazingly good. For two busy fellows this was an important get-together and they had a wonderful time.
(Jean Michel Kim on facebook https://www.facebook.com/jeanmichel.kim; in the video, the sighted pianist is busy flipping pages while Nobu plays on in bliss).
https://twitter.com/icoyuraco/status/942634682180550657Chopin ballade no. 1 played on a restored antique piano in the Paris workshop of a master craftsman. Chopin pioneered a new genre of piano music that took advantage of the modern piano.
Nobu looks extremely happy and animated as he plays -- he does love pianos.

素早い連打にこだわったリスト愛用のグランドピアノを弾いた🎹辻井伸行『カンパネラの高音部で鳴らす鐘の音のイメージが優しい素朴な音で、時代背景やどんな音を出してたのか当時の気持ちになれました』修復士『19世紀のピアノを突然弾くのはとても難しいのに独特のクセを掴んでびっくりしました』
La Campanella played on a restored grand piano with a quick strike.🎹 Nobuyuki Tsujii: "It was a simple rustic sound with a gentle treble section. I was able to feel the background of the kind of sound og the bells of a campanella of that time. " Piano restorer: "Suddenly a piano of the 19th century came to life. It is very difficult to play; I was taken aback by the distinctive sound."

辻井伸行🎼ショパンの弾いたピアノにも触れ『顔や左手にも触れる事ができてとても貴重な体験でした。常に故郷の事を思って生まれ育った場所を大事にしていると感じています』祖国に戻れなくなったショパンが故郷に思いを馳せ作曲した『別れの曲』をショパンの思いに寄り添い演奏『エチュード第3番』
Nobuyuki Tsujii plays "Farewell" etude on Chopin's piano [in home of George Sand?] Said Nobu: ""It was a very valuable experience for me to be able to touch the face and the left hand (of Chopin's likeness). [Like Chopin,] I always cherish the place where I was born and yearn for my hometown." Chopin was unable to return to [Poland]. He complied his Etude No. 3 (Op 10) "Farewell" in memory of his homeland.
