Bassoon prof sets up pupil for $55k win
OrchestrasMatthias Racz, principal bassoon at Tonhalle Orchester Zurich and professor at the city’s music academy, had no trouble deciding who should win the SFr50,000 ($55k) Muri competition, which he was chairing.
Obviously it had to be his own student Enrico Bassi, principal bassoon of the radio orchestra in Lugano.
You wouldn’t imagine these things still happen, but they do – and Racz is boasting of it: ‘I m so proud of you. My student Enrico Bassi just won the first price of the Muri Competition 2023. You deserve it !! You played 4 wonderful rounds and you showed us so much music out of your heart. Keep going like that and always put the music on first place !!’
