In Reply to: Second Round is now history - awaiting judges decisions posted by Chris from Lafayette on June 25, 2015 at 12:20:48:
So if you'll indulge me so I can crow a bit, here are the piano finalists, just announced a couple of minutes ago, in the Tchaikovsky Competition:
Lucas Debargue (France - Yamaha)
Lukas Geniusas (Russia/Lithuania - Steinway)
Daniel Kharitonov (Russia - Steinway)
George Li (USA - Steinway)
Dmitry Masleev (Russia - Steinway)
Sergey Redkin (Russia - Yamaha)
So. . . as you can see, both Madeline and I called five of the six correctly. And the sixth finalist, Redkin, was actually on both of our lists too until we demoted him after his Mozart performance. (I guess his Mozart performance was less of a determinant as far as the jury was concerned - or maybe they just thought he played the Mozart better than we did.) In a way, this was an easy one to call, since four of the competitors were clearly superior to the rest of the field. It was only the fifth and sixth positions that were open to more "interpretation" and argumentation.
In the finale, the competitors will play two concertos, one of which has to be by Tchaikovsky (only the first or second - the third is not allowed), and five of the six finalists will be playing the Tchaikovsky No. 1, with Geniusas playing No. 2. There are two days of rest now, with the final round revving up on Sunday.
