Queen Elisabeth Violin Competition | Proclamation 2015

The proclamation of the 6 winners in the Queen Elisabeth International Violin Competition of 2015. And as you'll see, a terrible mistake made by the jury.
--
Ji Young Lim has won the 2015 Queen Elisabeth Competition in Belgium - this year devoted to the violin. She receives a
cash prize of €25,000, concert performancs and the loan of the ‘Huggins’ Stradivarius by the Nippon Music Foundation for
a period of four years.
The South Korean violinist received third prize at the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis last year and has
previously won prizes at the Montreal, Henri Marteau and Euroasia competitions.
Following six days of finals during which 12 candidates performed with the National Orchestra of Belgium conducted by
Marin Alsop, second prize went to Oleksii Semenenko from Ukraine, third prize to William Hagen from the US, fourth prize
to Tobias Feldmann from Germany, fifth prize to Stephen Waarts from the US and sixth prize to Fumika Mohri from Japan.
The remaining unranked finalists were Bomsori Kim, Ji Yoon Lee, Thomas Reif, Kenneth Renshaw, Xiao Wang and
William Ching-Yi Wei.
2014 Menuhin Competition winner Stephen Waarts also won the VRT-Prize and the Musiq’3 Prize of the RTBF, both voted for
by the public.

Sometimes "making it" depends on "breaks" more than on winning in a competition. I can't help but notice that Bomsori Kim is the most active (alright, famous) of them all now, 7 years after the competition.

Is participating in large competitions like this the only way to have a successful soloist career? If so, how does that even work?

[@allandelacruz2589]

@SeanHall-rz6rp competitions usually include a managent and sometimes recording contract a year. Let's face it, if a recital or concert will be marketed as that of the winner of so and so competition, it arouses interest Having said that, surely that's not the only way. Lang Lang, Yuja Wang, Kissin did not go through that route. I think at least the first 2, they went through the "substitute" pianist route, which are very very rare cases.

[@SeanHall-rz6rp]

@@allandelacruz2589 Ah so I get it. Winning in competitions like this is usually a great help in starting up someone’s career. Also, what is the “substitute” pianist route?

[@allandelacruz2589]

@SeanHall-rz6rp it's when the pianist who will perform becomes unavailable at the last minute. Usually, because the pianist got sick. The producers then will look for a pianist who already knows the work to be performed as a substitute. The producers will get in touch with the top teachers because in all probability, the teacher's students have a wide repertoire. One such teacher is Gary Graffman who taught Langnlang and Yuja and Hao Chen Lim.

내가 왜 다 눈물이 나냐ㅠㅠ 심사위원석에 한국인 바이올리니스트가 두분이나 계시니 든든하네

[@chuseuk1192]

he pronounced right. she heard what she want to hear. so sorry .

[@YuriViolinist]

Right?? He totally pronounced it right… only thing was “Yun” without the G but doesn’t even sound like “yoon”. Lim was quite clearly pronounced

[@Bmmhable]

But...he clearly said Lim as the first name. Where is the mistake?

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

Yeah I heard Lim too. The audio on this video is pretty bad... it would've been even worse in person and possibly all that was heard by anyone at the time was "Li - Ji - Yi "....

[@김길동-j9z]

한국인 심사위원이 김남윤선생님, 강동석선생님입니다 반갑고 자랑스럽네요 🎶🙆‍♂️

[@황은진-z8y]

임지영 1등, 김봄소리 7등, 이지윤 8등

[@Disinclude]

This was awful and the girl who got called didn’t even win a prize either.

[@annajeehee]

Hope this doesn’t happen again - the students need to be in audience so they can hear better

[@zokar]

분명히 임지영이라고 했는데 왜 착각을 했지? 이지윤씨가 착각을 한 것 같은데.

[@listenmusic9811]

Stephen played such a great Bartok 2. He should have been first or second but Queen Elisabeth is very much known for its politics... If you are American, studied at Curtis, with Aaron Rosand -- you are done...

[@listenmusic9811]

A Rosand student had won recently already...

[@assindiastignani]

Not just Curtis students of Aaron Rosand.The Galamian students in the late part of the 20th century also never had much success here. In general Americans do not do well in Brussels. The last American to win was Berl Senofsky in the mid-fifties. The Q.E is indeed very political, almost as much so as the Chopin in Warsaw. One thing almost always holds true in all competitions, but particularly in these two: the person who should have won 1st, never wins 2nd. He or she always gets 3rd. Pretty much the case here. But, let's wait and see after a few years, whose name do we see the most in concert halls.

[@videom5055]

이지윤씨 응원하겠습니다.

[@annajeehee]

This was so wrong - I guess it will not happen again

[@YuriViolinist]

He pronounced it well enough though

[@albertotorres5005]

para mi el que mejor ejecuto la obra fue Stephen Waarts sin hacer alardes de dominio del violín. comprendió la obra y la trasmite como es. los analistas y asignados jueces, no toman en cuanta eso, sino que uno baile y se mueva para ver pero no tienen oídos para oír. deberían poner mejor en internet la votación. esa no vale fue manipulada.

[@1cleandude]

Is the Queen a cuite or what???

[@annajeehee]

In this competition they need to get it right - get another speaker that can speak right or have the students in the music hall so they can hear it right - so embarrassing

[@ryuh.s9558]

당사자한테는 천당과 지옥일듯..

[@김길동-j9z]

이름이 비슷해서 벌어진 해프닝이죠 주최측에서 사전에 생각을 했어야 당사자들이 얼마나 당황스럽고 무안했을까요

[@vladimirsteinberg9819]

Ostapenko should've won, PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dannylim7435]

근데 바이올리니스트들은 뚱뚱한 체구를 가진 사람이 없네요. 1등 빼고. 다들 신경이 예민하고 날카로와 살이 안 찌나봐요.

[@qhehdwlak]

임지영님도 뚱뚱하시진 않은갓같은데

[@jeanparke9373]
