The Nobuyuki Tsujii Live at Carnegie Hall solo piano concert was performed in November, 2011. Soon thereafter, the material on this disc came out in an Avex Classics disc sold in Japan. I bought the Japanese version. I don't know any Japanese, so there were a lot of things about the Avex Classic title that I couldn't read or report on. In the mini-review I wished that this program would be published for the Western markets. In July, 2012, this  happened. This EuroArts version has the same has the same music that Avex Classics released. The keepcase booklet is in English, with notes also in German and  French. Now I can report that the executive producer is Hiroyuki Nakashima; audio recording is by Leszek Maria Wojcik; cameras and video recording are credited to Manny Gutierrez, David Smith, and Julie Brenckle.

The program is as follows:

1. John Musto Improvisation and Fugue
2. Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 17 ("Tempest")
3. Liszt Étude No. 3, "Un sospiro"
4. Liszt Rigoletto Paraphrase
5. Mussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition
6. Steven Foster "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair," arranged by Nobu.
7. Chopin Prélude No. 15 "Raindrop"
8. Nobuyuki Tsujii "Elegy for the Victims of Earthquake and Tsunami of March 11, 2011."

This disc is region free. Released 2012, disc has 5.1 dts-HD Master Audio. Grade: A

Berliner Philharmoniker 3D in Singapore concert. Simon Rattle conducts the Berliner Philharmoniker in the Rachmaninov Symphonic Dances and Mahler Symphony No. 1. This disc was published by EuroArts. It isn't easy to tell from the PR or the package, but this disc plays in 2D or 3D. This title was released previously by EMI Classics in a version intended for the Japanese market that also could be viewed in 2D or 3D. Subject disc is intended for western audiences; we assume it is the same as the EMI version except for language dress and artwork. Released 2013, disc has 5.1 dts-HD Master Audio sound. We reviewed the EMI version. We never reviewed subject EuroArts disc. We assume the two recordings are the same and give subject disc the same grades we gave the EMI edition:  2D Grade: C-  3D Grade: D
