It is the end of January 2022.
This is not the first time that Medici-TVis screening the 2014 Peter Rosen documentary "Touching the Sound", but the link showed up today on my Nobu news search:
https://www.medici.tv/en/documentaries/touching-the-sound-the-improbable-journey-of-nobuyuki-tsujii/
I believe this is the first time I see"Nobu" appearing in the film's title: "Nobu: Touching the Sound."
As you can see in the screenshot below - the show is not available in my country (U.S.A.), where it has been showing on many public television stations. But I hope it is being seen in many places.
I myself first saw the film at its world premiere in New York City in 2014, and I own a copy of the DVD.
For those who have not seen it, this film is by award-winner filmmaker Peter Rosen, producer of the documentary for the 2009 Cliburn Piano Competition, which contributed to the recognition of Nobuyuki Tsujii (gold medalist) worldwide.
"Touching the Sound" tells the story of Nobuyuki Tsujii from his early childhood, ending with scenes from a visit by the pianist to the region in Japan that was devastated by the 2011 Earthquake/Tsunami.
Below are some background articles about the film that have appeared on this blog over the years.
