..Tatsuya Nagashima's stirring performance of Beethoven's Emperor concerto.
Nagashima goes all out for grandiosity in his big-boned reading, playing with an
improvisatory quality that unearths premonitions of Franz Liszt's concertos.... full-
freshed approach...

American Recording Guide ; MC Clain (May/June 2001 issue ; pp.95-96)

...good, solid, no-nonsense Emperors to add to the 60 or so already in the catalogs...
The Taiwan-born pianist Nagashima, who began his career as a child prodigy in Taiwan
and Japan, plays well. ...(the recording is) attractive, and I'm sure I'll listen to them again.

Fanfare ; James Miller (March/April 2000 issue ; pp.180-181)

Tatsuya Nagashima's decisive, powerful playing makes this latest entry self -justifying.
...many will be pleased by the agressive piano presence as well as his forthright
performance. It will be interesting to hear him in more modern concertos.
