"Resonating with the American Symphony Orchestra, Nagashima's Liszt Piano Concerto No. 1 had
the power and warmth. His performance was virtuosic, but also filled with delicacy and sensitivity.
He fascinated audience with the flowing Liszt, received a long standing ovations...he dazzled audience
with an encore, dream like performance of Chopin's nocturne. His sensitive touch and passionate expression made the outstanding performance."
