Izumi Tateno
Izumi Tateno (舘野 泉, Tateno Izumi, (born 10 November 1936 in Tokyo) is a Japanese pianist.
Tateno studied at the Tōkyō Geijutsu Daigaku and is today a professor at the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki.
After a stroke during a concert on 9 January 2002, he had to take a break for some time. Even after medical rehabilitation, he still had paralysis of the right side of his body; since his comeback in May 2004, he has therefore played exclusively with his left hand. Numerous composers dedicated pieces to him specially tailored to his requirements.[1][2] Tateno has won many prizes and awards. Since 17 September 1990, he has been chairman of the Japanese Sibelius Society (日本シベリウス協会, Nihon Shiberiusu Kyōkai), of which he is a founding member.[3]
Tateno is currently active mainly in Finland, where he moved in 1964.[4] In Japan, he has become widely known through the theme tune he performed for the television drama Taira no Kiyomori, composed by Takashi Yoshimatsu.[5]
