A lecture about his life - as a substitute for an autobiography - but I'm not sure when this was. Probably about 2013, judging by his appearance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msgJ4Fn8dTY Belle, 1) At 00:27 of the video, Brendel said he had lived in London for almost 50 years. 2) At 16:23 of the ...

Myung-Whun Chung received his degree in conducting from Juilliard, studied there with Jean Morel, who also taught La Selva, Conlon and, of course, Levine among others. I suppose everyone knows that Myung-whun Chung is the younger brother of violinist Kyung-wha Chung. Source of information: https://...

I've listened tonight (AEDT) to Yuja Wang playing Beethoven Op. 31/3. I've only ever heard her in two Beethoven sonatas, and this is the other one!! The score is there to follow along. I've found something missing from this and her alternating pp and mf/ff has become something of a mannerism. She's...

Thanks for your comments. I did not know anything about Matsuev's political stance, though.

Danny

I stumbled across a very interesting concert given by pianist Denis Matsuev at the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall on 18 May 2023. The title of the concert is "Encores", and the concert consists SOLELY of encore pieces which are frequently played by pianists at the end of their recitals. The program in Mat...

Any duplications with this Decca box?

I do hope that they market a commemorative DVD of the proceedings. The Brits do know how to do this kind of spectacle.

Yes – you guessed it. “Zadok the priest" is one of the pieces on the program.

Thanks a lot, maestrob. Much appreciated.

I will try the ones you recommended.

I would like to know everyone's opinion on this singer. Many people consider her voice to be extremely beautiful. I have never heard her live but a friend has many of her CDs, so I borrowed a few and listened to them. I did not enjoy them as much as I had expected. In particular, I could not find "b...

I missed it because I was at an Australian Chamber Orchestra concert (marvellous with Olli Mustonen, his piano quintet, Milhaud, and Schubert's Trout).

Two of the six finalists - Lim and Khandohi - played Hough's piece from memory.

I did not have time to check the other contestants, though.

I have a question about the marking system. For example, Lim won the 2022 competition. Did he win it by: 1) getting the highest mark in the final round, or 2) getting the highest cumulative total mark in all the rounds? Please kindly enlighten me. If I understand correctly, highest cumulative for a...

Did he win it by:

Lim - gold
Geniushene - silver
Choni - bronze

I had been rooting for Lin, so I am pleased with the result.

Danny

Of the six finalists, only two - Lim and Khandohi - played Hough's piece from memory. I wonder whether they got additional marks because of this feat.

In any case, I am rooting for Lim.

Danny

On the recommendations of some knowledgeable friends, heard 2 more, and will now probably follow them as well as the playing was noteworthy: Yunchan Lim,Prelim, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wRz-uVNrJs (Hough,Couperin,Mozart,Chopin) If there ever was a YT to download, the Semifinal Cliburn recit...
