Semi-finalists Joachim-Hannover-violincompetition

October 2, 2009 at 6:20 PM

The 12 semi-finalists have been selected of the Joachim Hannover violincompetition

Here the new Naxos cd of the last winner of 2006 Suyoen Kim. It is a pity that the 3 violinconcerto's (now all ! recorded by Naxos) can not be played in the final. During the opening concert Suyoen Kim had to play the 1th or the 2th, just recorded by her. The 2th is now 5 time recorded by Suyoen Kim, Aaron Rosand, Rachel Barton, Elmar Oliveira and Christian Tetzlaff.

The first and 2th session of the 1th round can be seen here:
