Thanks. From memory means from my memory. Sorry for the confusion. I remember reading somewhere since 2000 they have to award the first prize (the first prize went to Yundi Li. Surely he deserves it but for the past 2 competitons 1st prizes were not awarded).
Anyway thanks for your information. Looking forward to witness the birth of another star in classical piano.

I took store's first comment to mean this is the only person he's heard play.
Also, maybe stores is talking about maybe how you should project more in a concert hall so people even in the back can hear you. Concert halls are usually big and absorb sound, so you have to project your tone a little more than you think.
And in competitions, I've always been taught that the performer is basically giving a concert. Thank You. Apparently, there are STILL some left who understand written word (it's not as if I've been typing with mystical ink). The whole 'Understand?' and 'Do you know what I mean?' was way over the top. But whatever, there are more then enough annoying people in the world, thankfully I can put you on ignore.
Currently working on: Perfecting the Op 2/1, studying the 27/2 last movement. Chopin Nocturne 32/2 and Posth. C#m, 'Raindrop' prelude and Etude 10/9

Saw the last 5 minutes of Fedorova. Very nice.
Saw the first 5 minutes of Armellini. Very nice, très dansant.
Saw he last 5 minutes of Katada. Don't have a reaction. Seems like something of a star.

You seem to understand what you WANT to understand.

Some of the comments left here, clearly, have an attachment to some of what's been discussed in the "pianists appearance" thread. I wonder exactly how much opinion would differ were there no video associated with the competition. I find it very amusing, really.

Didn't pay close attention, but Dong seemed highly agreeable.

Unfortunately I was away from town, Dong was the first performance from the 2nd round I have heard, and still not the entire one. I liked it a lot - now she showed that she not only has great delicacy in tone, but can also be roaring and powerful.

I want to confess that despite my utter ignorance of the polish language, I like this style of presentation far better than the Cliburn. Muuuuchhh less schmaltz and camera in the face of the contestant before, during and after.. Even though I do not get the comments, they seem to be focused on the details of the performance and not the sob story or the cooking prowesses of any individual..
I know, IMHO etc.. but seriously, what do you think?

This is really really good but I am not pulled in.. somehow. Probably it is just me? I can't put my finger on what is wrong, if any.. Any experts listening in?

I feel the tempo is a bit erratic, especially in the Ballade.
The Andante Spianato is pretty good, but sometimes a little heavy finger.

I find Claire's playing right now a little too "pretty".

I thought the Grand Polonaise was quite good. Just a few little things here and there where I have slightly different taste for.
