In Reply to: Moscow Tchaikovsky Competition Started Today posted by Chris from Lafayette on June 16, 2015 at 14:46:03:
It's pictured in the Gergiev interview article you link to, and that brings back fond memories. I attended a recital there by Alexander Ghindin. Ironically, in the controversial 1994 competition when no first prize was awarded due to the supposed low caliber of contestants, Nikolai Lugansky received second prize and the 17-year old Ghindin placed fourth.
Probably not your type of pianist, I'm afraid. But he has the distinction of being one of Joyce Hatto's sources.
