据说Bolzanov(我很欣赏的一位)拒绝了第四名的奖金和颁奖,所以他没出席这个gala concert.
也在情理之中.至少该给个平列第三.肖邦大赛历来争议不断.不是好事.幸亏是五年一次,众人多忘
回头看了一些进入第三轮的弹奏,有几个真是可惜了.回头补遗
.
Avdeeva's performance shines, much more convincing than the 4th round one. There is more spacing and completeness in her phrasing--it's always well articulated, but it sounded a bit "pushy" at times during the competition.
The 2nd mvmt is some distance away from the Himalaya of the Russian school as represented by Neuhaus' interpretation--the rare nobleness. 
Still we have a very deserving champ in her for the competition.  Bravo!
