We're keeping to our predictions that we made above.
One big disaster occurred near the end of the exposition of the K. 467 ("Elvira Madigan") Concerto, as played by Mikhail Turpanov (who else?). Turpanov had a big memory slip and was floundering for a few seconds. Somehow, he weaseled out of it and the orchestra came in at the right time, avoiding a pause (re-start) in the performance. Kudos to the orchestra! (And it just confirmed Turpanov's place on the bottom of the list of competitors in this round as far as we're concerned.)
Also, we feel very strongly about the following four candidates, and we'll state that if they don't get in to the finals, then something is very wrong:
Lucas Debargue (France - Yamaha)
Lukas Geniusas (Russia/Lithuania - Steinway)
Daniel Kharitonov (Russia - Steinway)
George Li (USA - Steinway)
One last thing: although I hated the non-vibrato playing of the strings of the MCO, at least they did have a lot of babes in that orchestra - love the concert-mistress (and the intensity of her expressions), and the second oboist was a cutie too (a bit like Madeline when she was that age!).
