Piano and other music competitions with online video

[Phillip210]

I think it would be useful if members could give notice on this forum of sites they find with sound or videos posted of competition performances on official sites (rather than individual YouTube videos submitted by competitors). There are quite a lot of these, but they are not always easy to find from Google or other searches. Sometimes 'early round' performances are available, in which the repertoire is often more interesting than what appears in the semis or finals. Often these recordings and videos are only available temporarily owing to copyright restrictions.

I will start the ball rolling:

Sound recordings of all the 2009 Leeds piano competition performances: http://www.leeds.ac.uk/music/pianocompetition/
Videos of all performances at ongoing Hannover International Violin Competition:
http://www.violin-competition.de/en/vio ... stler.html Maybe off topic but of course lots of repertoire with piano!

Although a little late - don't forget the amazing coverage of the current Moscow Tchaikovsky competition - including videos of all rounds - on http://pitch.paraclassics.com/#/live/piano
Complete with English-speaking commentator and interviews with jury members.

In the UK, BBC iPlayer currently has available the final of Young Musician of the Year 2018.

It's main attraction (for me) was a scintillating performance by 16yo Lauren Zhang
of Prokofiev's incredible Piano Concerto No.2. Fortunately, the judges got it right
by declaring her the winner of this year's award. The competition itself has now
been going for 40 years.

Comparing this competition's musicianship with that of yesterday's Eurovision Song
Contest would be like comparing pure gold with base metal!
