I wasn't surprised to see no coverage in the NYT. When they do cover the Cliburn, they treat it as something happening out in "the provinces"...their only article about it was extremely snide. I'll be looking forward (more or less) to Wilkinson's documentary. Are you surprised?

NPR's "Morning Edition" had an excellent report this morning. On the cutaway, our local station followed up with some local ties. Marty, These local ties?  ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pianoworld.com/Uploads/files/LocalTies.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/smilielol.gif) Go Packers!

It's much easier to bash a Steinway than it is to play one.

If anybody cares, this is a trailer of a documentary the sister of my former piano teacher made in ~2001
The trailer shows a short bit of Nikita Mndoyants at 9 years of age..... Cool! Thanks for posting it -- interesting! BTW to me it's way more than just a "short bit"! And it reminds us how unusually gifted most if not all of these extraordinary pianists are. At 9, he was playing that piece way better than probably most of us could play it at any age. (I know -- I tried.)

Oh no. In one of the photo galleries of one of the papers there's a slight wardrobe malfunction on a certain performer in a very sparkly dress.

I feel like I should protect her now.
Obviously, the photographer didn't see it. And it's not obvious, it's like when someone says, "Look, there's a deer at the edge of the forest." And you say, "Where?" And then you look harder, and you see how well the deer blends in with the foliage.

Remember the tag on the jacket sleeve back in the prelims?

It just fits in with the "wardrobe malfunction" theme. I'm still curious about the glittering in the glitter spangled forest.

I keep going back to the 'on demand' and listening to all of those fine performances.
It reminds me of all of the fun in this thread.
Thanks All!

Just as a heads up: Classics Online just finished putting up the recordings from the semifinals recitals. Downloads are $9.99 for entire recitals and $0.99 per 5 minutes (rounded up) for individual pieces. For the low, low price of $23.88 you too can be the proud owner of 12 different versions of Birichino!
