Ukrainian wins displaced piano competition
NewsThe International Competition for Young Pianists in Memory of Vladimir Horowitz was won last night in Geneva by a 22 year-old Ukrainian, Roman Fediurko. The competition, founded in Kiev in 1995, was held this year in Geneva, Switzerland, due to the Russian invasion.
Roman Fediurko receives 20,000 Swiss francs,as well as several subsidiary awards.
The jury was chaired by the Ukrainian conductor Kirill Karabits.
Second prize went to the British pianist Julian Trevelyan.
Roman Fediurko was born in 2004.
Why you didn’t mention awards in full as the third prize winner was incredible Kyoungsun Park, who deserved at least a second prize instead of third! Also he got one special prize for the best interpretation of Ukrainian composer, he played by heart 10 Preludes, op. 33 by S.Bortkewicz, it was very impressive and touching!
Why Julian Trevelyan with his extra tricks as coming with his dog, playing last on the list of 28 competitors, while his number was 8?
Julian Trevelyan should not pass even firs round! Shota Kaya should pass instead!
There was a lots of great pianists, who didn’t make any mistakes or memory slips, or even with much better biomechanics, imagination and artistry:
Pedro Lopez Salas
J’ai wei Lin
Stanislavsky Korchagin
Shota Kaya
Giuseppe Guarrera
Youanfan Yang
Kusum Kwon
Sorry, it’s autocorrect changed names I mentioned above:
Kisuk Kwon
Hao Wei Lin
I didn’t mean not to mention a most deserving a First prize winner!!
Big congratulations to Fedurko! Incredible potential and talent!
