Vitaly Starikov, Athena Deng, Shuguang Gong, Eric Guo, Wei-Ting Hsieh, Xiaoyue Hu, Xuanyi Mao, Mana Shoji, Zitong Wang also on my Divine list.

Yang (Jack) Gao, David Krikuli, Zhexiang Li, Haowei Lin, Tianyao Lyu, Tiankun Ma, Natalia Milstein also on my Exceptional list.

Xuehong Chen, Diana Cooper, Yu-Ang Fan, Antony Kleczek, Shushi Kyomasu, Hao Rao also on my Advancing list.

We have some overlap.

Xiaohuan Li is marked in my notes as a one who received a lot of cheers from the audience, but I didn't understand for what. Very technical, fast, and loud, but for me a keyboard pounder.

Jingting Zhu is marked "bravura virtuoso", the kind I am not much fond of.

I will go back, re-listen, and post about these two.

From our choices, it seems like you prefer dramatic style, and I am more in favor of laid-back style.

On the instruments, I also think they are not the best examples. The Institute got what factories have sent them. I know when you buy a piano, especially in this price range, you would try many instruments and likely choose none.
