RECENT REVIEWS: "I can say only good things about the sound. It is impeccable, with a stable image, and all it takes to please the most demanding audiophile." --Lessard, Ultra High Fidelity

"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, this time in HDCD." --Lessard, Ultra High Fidelity

Albert Goldberg of the Los Angeles Times said, “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."
