. prize in the cello part of the Enesco competition 2011. His cello tune is never pressed. We too enjoyed the great cooperation with the conductor, Gheorghe Costin, and the Moldovian Symphony Orchestra. With many very good solo details from soloplayesr in the first class Orchestra. Excellent conducted by Gheorghe Costin, who shoved how it shall be done to cooperate  with a brilliant soloist, TIAN BONIAN

But the wonderful young Armenian acclaimed violinist Kazayan Haik shared the 2nd prize with Alexandra Conunova from Moldova. Kazayan Haik too won the permission to use an exclusive violin for one year.

Symphonic Music Section:

Symphonic poem “The Human
Composer: CHANG EUNHO South Korea

For the winner of the prize for the Symphonic Poem, where I cats the name of the piece as Mysterious Palace (?) it was an interesting piece, using all the many possibilities of a large orchestra. During the way my memories was bringing me back to the late Norwegian composer Arne Nordheims wonderful music to the ballet The Tempest, from the 1980´s but in CHANG EUNHO inspiration, and by her exploring of the percussion details.

Unfortunately. The organisation of the Galla performance seemed extremely unorganized, specially remarkable in the first part before the break. The vocal introduction and presentation in Rumanian and in English was rushing, with wrong presentation of the names of the jury and too of some of the participants. Furthermore with so good and famous names in the Jury

. They should have been presented on stage. In addition absolutely no printed program for the galla existed. – No press introduction, and when a list came the day after, only in Rumanian language. Which gave the large international press corps present in the hall, no chanche to know the names of the winners, and some times also not what the were playing.  – Bad information job!!!!

Furthermore. The podium in the first part was looking like a storing house of furniture and instrument thrown unorganized on the stage. And as we didn´t have any program, we couldn´t know that this storage, was because it was needed for the second part of the concert. The second part was brilliant!!!
