I went through the ten semifinalists, listening for as long as I could before my interest switched off, which in many cases was minutes.....The three I wanted to hear more of were:
Ariel Lanyi
Hyunjin Roh
Xiaolu ZangI enjoyed all three. I was quite taken with Hyunjin Roh in Stravinsky's Firebird and her Schumann was good too. She can certainly turn on the gas in the big pieces. Ravel's La Valse was a real tour de force! This unassuming looking dame likes it loud and exciting.
Xiaolu Zang played a good Schubert sonata and a sensitive and imaginative Scriabin Sonata 4.
Lanyi played some good Debussy and an interesting Szymanowski Variations.
Can't pick a winner but I feel these are the contenders. For thrills it's Roh, but the other two are both good.
