Russian wins Prokofiev piano contest. Curtis grad comes second.
mainThe winner of the state-sponsored, somewhat irregular Prokofiev piano competition is Sergei Redkin, a fourth-year student at the Rimsky Conservatoire in St Petersburg.
Second was the Indian-American Pallavi Mahidhara, a Curtis graduate now studying with Dmitry Bashkirov in Madrid.
Third was a Spaniard, Enrique Lapaz.
most competitions are ‘irregular’….

There are some YouTube videos of him playing various pieces. He seems to be an expressive player.
The winner was white, male, Russian, and has no political voice.
The competition is clearly fixed. Commence the outrage!!
The pianist – Sergei Redkin is brilliant and a student of the wonderful Professor Alexander Sandler. A name that deserves far more mention than given. Redkin is a winner of numerous competitions as are most students of Sandler.
