  • C. Bechstein and Competitions 19 Steinway @ Competitions 29 Fazioli Pianos on Stage 47 the Chris Maene Straight Strung Grand Piano
    2 2019 Tsar of the piano POWERED BY conquered Moscow Alexandre Kantorow WELCOME Dear readers, The World Federation of International Music Competitions (WFIMC) is the umbrella organisation for more than 120 international music competitions, including the leading piano competitions worldwide. There are thousands of music competitions around the world. And amongst them, piano competitions are by far the most common. This is a fact. There are smaller and bigger competitions, competitions for young, senior, amateur, regional, and national pianists, as well as international competitions. People love to see young artists competing for a prize, exactly the same way everybody likes to see young athletes competing for an Olympic medal. This is a part of our human nature: we need to compare ourselves with others and we cherish the winners, giving them medals, money and fame … The question therefore is not to decide on the usefulness of music competitions, but to organise these events as well as possible in order to match the desires and the needs of young musicians and of the world of music. Today’s best music competitions are looking for artists capable of building a career for decades, able to present themselves to the media, who are open to new cultural initiatives, willing to experiment with new music and having inside themselves enough resources and energy to live the life of an international artist. This isn’t an easy task, but this is the mission of the WFIMC’s competitions. The WFIMC provides its members with a large panel of services and meetings, helping them to rene the model of music competitions by exchanging practices and ideas.

Von allen Seiten wird an jede Alterskohorte eine Bestimmung herangetragen. Oft glaubt man, dass diese Beschreibungen auf die eigene Lebenssituation zutreffen. Die Epilog - Zeitschrift zur Gegenwartskultur - regt an: Zerlegt diese Konstruktion. Denn wir, um die Dreißig, wir übernehmen nicht mehr. Behaltet eure Theorien, euer Steingut und eure Senfglassammlung. Wir wollen eure Meerschweinchen nicht pflegen, wir wollen eure Plattensammlung nicht und nicht euer lichtdurchflutetes skandinavisches Design-Wohnzimmer.

Die Nachkommen spanischer Eroberer stützen ihre Autorität auf Gewalt. So wie in vielen Ländern der Welt werden auch hier Tag für Tag Frauen vergewaltigt und ermordet, weil Männer meinen, über ihre Körper verfügen zu können. In der Regel bleiben diese Verbrechen straffrei. Damit will sich Thelma nicht abfinden. Die junge Mayafrau hat mehrere Anschläge überlebt, sie musste aus ihrem Dorf fliehen. Mit Unterstützung der Kirchen hat sie eine Kampagne ins Leben gerufen mit dem Motto: „Nein zur Gewalt gegen Frauen!“.

The releases coincide with the 60th anniversary of Daniel Barenboim’s performing debut. 2011 is also a Mahler anniversary year and DG present a treasure from the archives: the Wunderlich / Fischer- Dieskau Das Lied von der Erde.

Josef Krips conducts the Wiener Symphoniker. On Decca, Julia Fischer follows her extraordinary recording of the fiendish Paganini Caprices with a contrasting album − a lyrical and poetic set of impressionistic works for violin and orchestra. Also, in celebration of the Liszt year 2011, pianist Nelson Freire has personally selected the repertoire for his latest recording including showpieces such as Harmonies du soir (from the Études d’exécution transcendante), Hungarian Rhapsodies and Liebesträume.
