Delibor Karvay as 13th finalist of the Elisabeth violincompetition in Brussel?
I think the jury of the Elisabeth violin competition in Brussel made a mistake not letting the Slowakian 19 year old Delibor Karvay in the final of Elisabeth. Perhaps he can play on 22 may as 13 th finalists or at 17.00 one dag during the finals from 23 till 28 may, which are from 20.15 each day with 2 candidates, because his bowing is better than Mikhail Ovrutschy (who played some false notes in the semi’s) and Andreas Janke? In an athletic competition they have 9 lanes for the case 2 persons in the semi-finals have the same time, so that not 8 but 9 people can compete in the final. I was not the only persons with irritations about Dalibor, although I have not seen all the candidates, but many. Also Mark Janssens of KLARA-radio was irritated that Dalibor Karvay was not in the final (teletekstpage 836 of Belgian television Canvas) I have seen Delibar Karvay in the first round en twice in de semi-finals (for his Mozart-concerto and the rest of his semi-finals program) and he played very well both his left and right hand. I thought that Delibor Karvay and Sergei Khachatatryan were the favorites for the first and second place in the final.
