The Dutch pianist Hannes Minnaar (with whom I played 2th pianoconcerto of Shostakovitsch) has won the 3th prize of the Elisabeth competition. Here a piece Ravel of the semi's (3 times I could not keep it dry) and final Beethoven (also this movement moves me) I saw both life:

Hannes also play violin:

OK joke:

Lovely Beethoven! Thanks for posting.

 Oh, what wonderful music, what a soulful pianist. Just loved watching these. I was particularly captivated by the Ravel. Must go hunt some of this music down.

And I liked your joke at the end. You had me there, until I scrolled down further! : )

Very talented!

Here the rest of Miroirs of Ravel by Hannes Minnaar:
