Text 10189词音乐家谈论其担任裁判的经历
M: Hello, I’mMaxim Vengarov, and I’mvery happy to share with you my connection with openTchaikovsky Competition. It was June 1986 when I came to Moscow toparticipate in open Tchaikovsky Competition at the age of 10 from Chelyabinsk.This was actually theturning pointof mylife. Then I attended a world music festival in Berlin. And it was interestingto say that a kid made hisbreakthroughalready at the age of 10. And that was me. Now as a judge of the competition, Ican see clearly the huge challenges facing the musicians in the competition. Whereelse can you see young players playing within ten days—classical works andRussian traditional music before coming to thefinalstage? As a musician, it’s important to give maximum attention and time toyour own reflections of your own feelings. So, what I’m really looking for inthe competition is to meet someone who can touch memusically. I want to see the seed, at least the seed of the greattree that can grow. I wouldgo forthisviolinist. I would go for this musician.
