Info for Nojima Plays Liszt

Connoisseurs of great piano playing will love these classic reissues. Nojima Plays Liszt was named “Best Recording of the Month” by Stereo Review when it was released in 1988. It was described as “A stunning demonstration of technique put at the service of profoundly musical ends.” Minoru Nojima, is one of Japan’s most internationally respected pianists.

'These performances, on a Hamburg Steinway, earned Nojima raves from the musical intelligentsia: rare virtuosity, remarkable brio, and a wonderful expressivity. Thanks to Reference for having re-released it.“ (Lessard, Ultra High Fidelity)

“The pianistic hurdles leaped with incredible fleetness and lightness, punctuated by volcanic outbursts of power and majesty. It was the sort of impossible thing rendered possible only by genius. Repeat: genius.' (Albert Goldberg, Los Angeles Times)
