Second judge quits the Tchaikovsky contest
mainVladimir Ashkenazy is out, with a gastric infection – possibly the effect of too much long-distance travel. Shame, he was really looking forward to returning to the scene of his early torture and triumph.
He joins Nelson Freire on the sicklist. Nelson’s recovering from exhaustion.
The finals start tonight.

I was looking forward to seeing Mr. Ashkenazy. Wonderful pianist .
Mr Lebrecht, you have no comment on the Mark Gorenstein saga??
I have heard nothing more about the Gorenstein comment from either side
What exactly did Gorenstein say to the cellist (? ) ? Thanks.
