XV International Tchaikovsky Competition winners named – Russian newspaper

One of the most famous musical events in the world – Tchaikovsky Competition completed. Three weeks at the Moscow Conservatory, the Moscow and St. Petersburg Philharmonic, the Mariinsky Theatre went romance and virtuosos, thinkers, and even a “genius.” Anyone who watched the program XV Tchaikovsky Competition, will remember it quite amazing musical atmosphere and incredibly heavy competition, which may only be represented in the format of the competition fight.

The main surprise XV Tchaikovsky Competition presented the jury last. It was found that competition on the level of performance referred to in the most superlatives, I have not found the applicant for the 1st prize in the nomination “Violin”. Surprised and distribution laureate titles in the “piano” and “cello” nominations. Although the jury’s decision has always been the most controversial part of the Tchaikovsky Competition, this time, it seemed the “dark surprises” can be avoided. Members of the jury were asked to comment on its decision the contestants, and photos with their “zeros” and passing “units” in the voting slips are constantly published in social networks. For these “reports” and be able to determine individual preferences. But the forecasts do not come true. Almost everyone on whom to bet the audience were the second series of Laureate, and some participants have become even the reason for discord. For readers of “Russian newspaper” the jury commented XV Tchaikovsky Competition their positions.

In the vocal category at the jury’s decision to lay down the final scenario was quite predictable. Top Award nominated soloist of the Mariinsky Theatre Academy Julia Matochkin, and men came forward Mongolian baritone Ganbaatar Ariunbaatar. As Mikhail Kazakov, bass, Honored Artist of Russia “For the participants, this contest has become a great challenge. Our winners – the representative of Mongolia Ganbaatar Ariunbaatar. He studied in Moscow, working in Russia. It was already an established singer who knows how to stand on the stage , felt the brunt of the message, which is visible due to the hall. The winner of the women’s group – Julia Matochkina – a bright representative of the St. Petersburg school. She is a very intelligent performer, but it seemed to me that her emotional displays several ascetic. Moscow School, for example, requires a lot more emotion and passion. Among the jury members there were differences in the estimates. In my opinion, all leveled very successful judging system: bloody discussions, as has happened before, we have not experienced. All the jury members parted on friendly terms “.

The jury commented on the results of the contest XV Tchaikovsky.

The first prize was awarded to a Romanian from cellists Andrei Ionita, confidently act on all tours and most experienced participant, winner of the XIII Tchaikovsky Competition (2007), Alexander Buzlov claim the gold, she stayed with 3- First Prize.

Mischa Maisky, cellist:

– I started listening to the contestants with the II tour, and it was harder than I expected, because the level of competition was exceptionally high, just extremely high! Almost all the 12 finalists to participate in the III round. The situation was very tense and remained extremely tense until the last minute. We, the members of the jury do for a long time could not understand what all the same will be the final result? And now it has become clear to us, if we look at all the competition in the long term – he has prepared us to some unexpected “surprises.” Each of the 12 members of the judging team had its own vision, then the vote count gave the mathematical results. But my opinion is: I would not let any of the fourth or fifth or sixth place; I have all three shared the award for six, although the first place is not divided (laughs). I have got all the medals, because these musicians – virtuosos. They were so incredibly close, if not impossible, to imagine the extent to which close. All was held by a thread and could in every next second change, and then there would be a completely different layout.

First Prize Andrei Ionita – just beautifully played Shostakovich’s Concerto in the final. This, of course, and decided his fate. Buzlov Alexander, whom I knew and heard before – an exceptional cellist and musician. The rest I learned for the first time, but they are – great. I really liked the cellist Song Min Kang from South Korea. She – intelligent musician, sometimes causing controversy: many liked it very much, and some – on the contrary. But this, in my opinion – a good sign. Alexander Ramm – a terrific singer with a great future. Young Dutchman Jonathan Rouzman in 17 years has played the most complicated competition program, the Spaniard Pablo Ferrandes too talented person. So, summing up, I would not want to allocate someone one. All six awards – really great performers.

The violin. Why not choose

The results of the voting violin jury surprised everyone. The main contender for gold, according to Hall, at all stages of the contest was considered Clara Juma Kahn (Germany), but no jury awarded first prize to anyone, and Kahn moved to the 4th position. But violinists issued three third prizes, apparently in search of a compromise.

Maxim Fedotov, violinist and conductor:

– As said at the ceremony, and Gergiev, and Denis Matsuev, the jury of many large, prominent musicians, they are all very different. Almost every one of the candidates was anyone put in the first place, virtually a dead-end situation. We were trying to revise it several times, because the competition was very strong and, in general, of course, failed. In my opinion, it was a success from the first round – and the first and second round were very strong. I regret that the final took place not all people I would call strong. I am sorry that there is no first prize, and I can not say that the results I have arranged. I think they did not suit anyone. This is absolutely a compromise, all disagreed completely. But for me it is very important for the competition appeared cohort finest violinists of new, new names, new interpretations. I really enjoyed the game most of the contestants. Clara Juma Khan – a phenomenal talent. Remarkably he showed himself Pavel Milyukov on all three tours – the brightest representative of our national school. I was sick and Nut Kazazyan, speaking for the second time in the competition. Very pleased with my Konunova Alexander, a very talented violinist.

Piano. Both the first and the last – the best

At the piano was the sharpest and most unexpected finale in its results. Laureates received the title in the end all but crowd favorite – Hatches Debarga, who shouted after his performances as long as the light is quenched, and which recognized the musical critic, gave him his prize – a concert in December 2015 in the Moscow House of Music.

Boris Berezovsky, pianist:

– I am extremely pleased with the first prize. This is an unconditional opening of quite a brilliant guy. And I am sincerely very excited about his success – he absolutely deserved. I’m not happy that our favorite Frenchman Luc Debarg who had to get at least third prize, and to my taste even a second, was “pushed”. But it is, oddly enough, the decision of foreign members of the jury. They are not affected by even a strong argument that it is necessary to respect the Moscow audience that appreciated Luke and greeted him enthusiastically. In their view, it is – not a professional. If you look at his hands, then you notice it. But when you listen to, this is absolutely not audible. He played great in the first and second rounds! The finale could have been a little weaker, but still it was a good performance. Moreover, the first time he played with the orchestra, as everyone knows. For me, the best in the competition won the first and last place.

Denis Matsuev, pianist, People’s Artist of Russia:

– The frustration occur in any competition: there are always satisfied and dissatisfied. Pleased with only the winner. We discussed this issue with Vladimir Feltsman and with some members of the jury. The fact that there is no perfect evaluation system, neither points nor the amount of any scheme or system of yes-no, that is, in my opinion, is just another, do not give unanimity. All the musicians of the jury is different, everyone has their own views, and each vote as it sees fit. I hope to publish the lists of jury voting, and everyone will see who and how to vote. We have nothing to hide: no one is pulled, not has engaged not incited. But I am sure that each of our six laureates will be profound musician and will find its place on the stage, whatever it may award received. All this is nonsense – the third, fourth, even the first. Although the first place – it is a brand, it is an obligation. Some years you have to go out and confirm this status. I hope that it will turn Dmitry Masleeva. I wish him success! And what concerns Hatches Debarga, I’m sure he’ll be fine. When I heard his “Gaspard de la nuit” and Medtner in the second round, I said, it is fortunate that such a competition we have. And for the sake of such moments we are working for many years on this contest. Debarg already superhero. He won the hearts of the audience here, critics. He will come here, I invite him to their festivals, Valery Gergiev will call its.

In Astana, I always tell my laureates, that they are now members of our team. And here is the same. Not only the first, but all the others, we will invite. They are serious guys. Ten million people watched their ten! If in 1998, on my Tchaikovsky Competition, we would just imagine that we looked at ten million people! Then we had no Internet, no cell phones, and even no official concert of the Tchaikovsky Competition. Therefore, we say they are – lucky! All the finalists! And do not think about: the fourth, third, second, first prize. Tomorrow for them all six will start a new story.

Direct speech

Dmitry Masleev, pianist, 1st prize XV Tchaikovsky Competition:

– I’m eight years studied at the Moscow Conservatory and graduate Mikhail Petukhov and 2 courses with consistently prepared and went to the different competitions. I traveled with varying success, but received many awards, including the first. Then I was invited to the Italian Academy at Lake Como. There were great teachers. In addition, I will then be able to focus specifically on the work from morning till night to deal with. Simply put, to win the competition, I am very much engaged. And whatever fatigue and tiredness incredible actually, my hands are always in shape. Concerts I had not much: for all of last year – only two. Alone in Germany, the other – in my home city of Ulan-Ude. I hope now that I will have concerts. This is a big, huge responsibility. It is also difficult because it is not a concert to play. Therefore it is necessary to sit a lot and work hard. But I really hope that all will be well. Of course, the competition I had some luck, with great success. And we are not immune from anything, it is a fact. But I very much hope that the luck will continue. I helped my mom. In my mind I was going to devote to it and their performances. Maybe so my pipe dream, well, almost the impossible has become a reality.
