    I haven’t listened to all (I plan to) but Zeng Yun was phenomenal in the final round. He should also get a commission on the sales boost this will give Ken Pope and Ion Balu on their Briz horns…

    Someone needs to teach this guy how to miss a note. Jeez. It’s freaky.

    I love that Gergiev gave Zeng a special recognition when the laureates were gathered onstage after the 2nd gala.

    One of my favorite moments was when 2nd prizewinner Fedor Shagov, tuba, took the stage to solo at the Gala. The camera shot to the face of the Competition’s top boss, the older blonde lady who made all the introductions. The look of wonder and amazement on her face as she watched this large unfamiliar instrument take center stage was simply priceless!

    I thought that both tuba finalists were esp. good and that this was an important opportunity for them. I’d never thought of tuba as soloistic instrument, but it was gorgeous, like a bass voice.

    The tuba also proved to be the most photogenic instrument of all! Medici really had a field day and shot the tubas from all angles, and they were absolutely beautiful!
