FEW PLACES FOR MANY GIFTED
The Routine of Aram Khachatrian Competition
The second stage of violinists' international competition after Aram
Khachatrian came to its end. 6 violinists, 3 of whom will share 1st,
2d and 3d place, were supposed to enter the 3d stage. But the jury set
apart 7 best musicians saying that during such contests some low-key
participants display great technique at the second stage and it
becomes difficult to choose only 6 best performers for the third stage.
Georgian conductor Vadim Shubladze, the honorable guest of the
competition, said, "Such competitions usually host technically strong
musicians who have already exhausted their potential for further
growth. There are also young musicians who do not perform brightly
but the jury catches the hidden talent which is still to 'open'".
The program of the second stage consisted of the works of composers
of the 20th century, including the "Solo-Sonata" of Levon Chaushian
who was among the spectators. The composer delightfully said, "Only
that musician who pants not for displaying his own technique but for
the work's emotionality can reveal the composer's idea".
The violinists who entered the 3d stage will hold rehearsal today
with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Armenia to get ready for the final
stage on June 5.
