Yamazawa won first place in Kyogaku XI of the 11th Contemporary Music Performance Competition and garnered the 24th Asahi Contemporary Music Award. He has made the exploration of the possibilities of the cello his life’s work, enthusiastically commissioning pieces from a variety of composers. Since 2015, he has organized an annual recital “Mind tree” which solely features unaccompanied cello works written after the 20th century. In 2021 he launched the regular concert series “A Collection of Works by Japanese Composers.”
