XIV International Tchaikovsky Competition;Final

審査結果にSponsorや審査員のコネの影響を受けていたなどなどの批判に答えて，今年のTchaikovsky Competition からロシアの音楽界の重鎮　conductor Valery Gergiev, one of the most celebrated and influential musicians in the world today をトップに迎えて，画期的にモスクワとペテルブルグで，Piano, Cello, Violin amd Voice にわたって開催されたXIV International Tchaikovsky Competition の最終結果が発表されました．

一口に言って，韓国の驚異的な圧勝に終わっています.  
Voiceの男女両部門でそれぞれ金賞，
Piano で銀賞，銅賞，　　
1位なしのViolin で銅賞
というのですから，素晴らしい成果です．

日本勢は最終round まで残った人がいなかったのですから，韓国には率直に賞賛を贈りたいと思います．　　　　　　
日本勢には次回に期待したいモノですが，何とかの一つ覚えのように「アジアの日本から西洋音楽を発信する」などは，今となってはすっかり昔話というところですね．
