She is just pain "mere" which is not a complement. Mere good, in my opinion, is worse than bad. A Bad pianist is at least bad and we all know if bad. A "mre good" who thinks is great, is worse. I think, but I agree with you.

Well, you may be right !She is just pain "mere" which is not a complement. Mere good, in my opinion, is worse than bad. A Bad pianist is at least bad and we all know if bad. A "mre good" who thinks is great, is worse. I think, but I agree with you.

Fairness and sportsIt is is interesting to follow the discussions on this site and to listen to the musiicians over the internet (Thanks for the link to the media player, Boris!) Unfortunately my Russian is not good enough to bother you all with badly expressed postings in Russian language, especially since my computer has no character set in Russian, but I can understand almost everything what is said.

Re: About the Tchaikovsky competition and piano in particularDo you all think the age of the participants may influence jury members' decision making?

Re: Fairness and sportsIf a pianist is good, they will raise to the top. That USED to be the rule. Winner of a competition or not. Now, is all more complicated, and its all about marketing. Look at LANG LANG (I think that is his name) terrific marketing for a good, solid player, but not for a "out of this world" pianist. Volodos has not the same marketing machine with him, but is much better (limited repertoire, in my opinion) - I think it is WORTH to spend the time and money on competitiions. Yes. They will showcase their talent to an audiencce who (in my opinion) still knows what they are talking about before they have to go and play to audiences who are merely mediocre and who cannot tell the difference betwen the good and the great.

Re: About the Tchaikovsky competition and piano in particularI always wonder if the participants have a desire to win the "fame" by coming to the competition. Winning will lead to get more opportuniies to perform at internationally recognized venus, and it will bring more money.

Nikolay Arnoldovich PetrovNikolay Arnoldovich Petrov, president of the Jury spend a lot time looking at his nails and at his hands and his nose during the performance of Andrey Korobejnikov. It looked very bad, and as if he was not (and he was not) paying any attention. Somebody has to tell this guy he is on TV.

Andrey KorobejnikovVery good and solid performance. Yes, his Schubert was not German enough, in my opinion. It is a very difficult piece, from the intellectual point of view. His arrangement of the Musorgsky piece was VERY CREATIVE and wonder if he has done the complete cycle. Very good. His Dumka was beautiful, very well phrased and very poetic. Terrific. The performances would have been much better if Mr Nikolay Petrov would have given him the chance to finish the preludes, all of which were played in a magnificent conception. Bravo. I guess the break was more important than to leave a VERY GOOD pianist the chance to bring his performance to the end. Pity. And please, tell him to stop picking his nose on OK - Jose

Lima Dong HekWell, I have to confess he has improved since the Chopin Piano Competition. He is predictable good. All the notes are there, and the spirit too. However, I can still able to see (at least me) that he is a bit "foreing" to the pieces and to music in General. He also tends to "run" at the end of the pieces. His Chopin Sonata was very nice and "correct" but it laked the "soul". Same with the Prokofiev. Everything he played was good. Even VERY GOOD. But it had no "soul". Tchaikovsky was the best of everything. Anybody cares to comment. Jose. Have to go to the dentist. Похожие темы
