Here is the live feed for Day 3 of the Finals in the Shanghai Isaac Stern International Violin Competition (Please return later if you don't find it the video yet!).
Olga Šroubková, 25, of Czechia:
Chang Yuan Ting, 18, of Canada:
For the finals, competitors must perform a new work written for the competition by Chinese composer Qigang Chen, "La joie de la souffrance," as well as a major violin concerto (Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Beethoven, Glazunov, Prokofiev 1, Dvorak or Bernstein Serenade). Winners will be announced following this performance.
Tonight will include performances by Chang Yuan Ting, 18, of Canada, who will perform the Brahms Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 77; and Olga Šroubková, 25, of Czechia, who will perform the Tchaikovsky Concerto for Violin in D major Op. 25.

It's ridiculous, isn't it? These are live performances of either public domain works or a work written especially for this competition. Youtube and Facebook's systems for classical music clearly are broken. They block things like this, but then they allow people to post cell phone-recorded performances of concerts that are done completely without permission. I'm working the video of Chang Yu Ting's performance from the competition and will post when available!
