Hey the russian is back at the circuit with a vengeance after 2 decade of absence.
Russian pianist Yuliana Avdeeva is the surprise winner of the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw.
Avdeeva was announced as the best from the ten finalists late Wednesday night. Eighty one contestants began the competition three weeks ago.
The jury’s decision came as a shock to some in the audience at the Philharmonic Hall in Warsaw, after it was expected that the Austrian Engolf Wundar would walk away with the top prize.
Wundar was eventually awarded joint second prize alongside Lithuania’s Lukas Geniušasa.
In third place was the Russian Daniil Trifonov, Bulgarian Evgeni Bozhanov was fourth and Frenchman François Dumont was fifth.
there is big list of soundtrack redo of Dali's 'destino' animation. (obviously disney's original music was badly done. they are in way over their head.)
