Nobuyuki Tsujii returns in his first Carnegie Hall performance since 2019—a sold-out recital that earned a standing ovation and four encores. This time, the program opens with Beethoven’s endlessly popular “Moonlight” Sonata. A series of solo piano works by Liszt and Ravel follows, promising a powerful convergence of delicate beauty and formidable technique. The program closes with Kapustin’s Eight Concert Etudes, which transpose a sweeping range of jazz idioms into virtuosic classical compositions, rich with exciting pianistic expression that transcends genre.
