Minoru Nojima: Nojima plays Lizst TP-019<br />
"It’s always hard to pick a single “best sound”<br />
because <strong>the</strong> selection of source material can<br />
influence one’s judgment. But I will say that I had a<br />
startling experience; I opened my eyes at <strong>the</strong><br />
conclusion of (The <strong>Tape</strong> <strong>Project</strong>'s) Nojima Plays Liszt,<br />
played on a one-to-one open-reel copy of <strong>the</strong><br />
original master (on <strong>the</strong> Bottlehead Nagra T/Tube<br />
Repro), and was momentarily startled to find myself<br />
in a small hotel room with a pair of speakers in front<br />
of me.“<br />
Robert Harley, editor, The Absolute Sound<br />
Minoru Nojima is Japan’s most celebrated concert pianist<br />
and a Cliburn Competition Silver Medal winner. Recorded in<br />
1986 at <strong>the</strong> Civic Auditorium in Oxnard California by <strong>the</strong><br />
incomparable Prof. Johnson with his magnificent custom<br />
tape recorder with focused gap heads. Named Best<br />
Recording of <strong>the</strong> Month by Stereo Review, which described it<br />
as "a stunning demonstration of technique put at <strong>the</strong> service<br />
of profoundly musical ends“
