And the Winners Are . . .

Tchaikovsky

 

There's been a lot of news lately from a variety of annual crime fiction awards, but what if those awards only happened every four years? That's what you face in the world of piano competitions, including the Van Cliburn and the just-completed Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. Since I have a piano background and the crime consultant in my Scott Drayco series is also pianist, it's been fun to watch snippets of the live-streaming from the competition. The Gold Medal was given yesterday to 27-year-old Russian Dmitry Masleev, with Lithuanian Lukas Geniušas and American 19-year-old George Li awarded Silver Medals. You'll be hearing a lot more from all of these talented artists.

Here's a snippet from one of wunderkind George Li's first-round performances:

Is he the same pianist who played at the July 4 Washington Celebration? He's amazing. I'm impressed by the encompassing dimensions of your blog. Can't imagine how much time it takes!

Yes, the blog does take a lot of time, but I guess I'll still keep up with it as long as I enjoy it! Always welcome suggestions and feedback of all stripes. :-)
