About
Jon Nakamatsu is ideally suited to Schumann: he has the staggering technique expected from a Van Cliburn winner but also poetry and delicacy are uppermost in his playing. His nine recordings for harmonia mundi USA range from Chopin and Brahms, via Rachmaninov to Gershwin, and most recently the Brahms Piano Quintet with the Tokyos. His next recording will be of Brahms, Beethoven and Weber with Clive Greensmith, formerly of the Tokyo String Quartet and Jon Manasse on clarinet.

Nakamatsu clarifies Schumann's mid-range saturated textures to a remarkable degree, revelling in its fantastic imagingings with rapier-like precision and effortless command.
March 2014
There's plenty of imagination in his readings but sometimes it perhaps comes a little too close to caricature.
April 2014
insightful readings, refreshingly original in concept, technically immaculate and distinguished by their textural clarity and inerrant singing line.
