Pearl River Kayserburg National Finals
In China, there are three major national competitions of repute for young pianists Steinway, Pearl River Kayserburg and Xinghai Cup - a prize at one of these competitions is a sign of very high level playing. This year I judged at the national finals of the Pearl River, and the evening before the awards ceremony Maxim Mogilevsky and Ching-yun Hu asked me if I’d like to play some six hands with them, to which I replied, “Who wouldn’t enjoy being jammed between a bear and a tiger?” which you can see from the livestream was not the least bit inaccurate.
