About Yuki Negishi
"Negishi's performance is mesmeric. Here, as everywhere, her innate musicality allows the music to shine." ~Colin Clarke, International Piano Magazine, Sept 2022
"Is there a more audacious way to commence your solo debut recording than by diving into Nikolai Kapustin's wildly rhapsodic First Piano Sonata? Especially if you've got Yuki Negishi's fast, well-oiled and supremely confident fingers..” ~Jed Distler, Gramophone, July 2022
Yuki Negishi has established herself as a pianist of rare poetry, passion and virtuosity, equally at home as an adjudicator, educator and researcher, captivating audiences wherever she performs around the world.
