If you are a fan of classical piano, you probably know that the Van Cliburn competition is taking place as I type. I went to a semi-final round last night. There is so much young talent in the world, with artist from around the globe taking part. I heard a young man from China and one from S. Korea- both amazingly talented. But the S. Korean kid was beyond amazing. I'd close my eyes and swear I was hearing the clarity of Vladimir Horowitz. More semi's are today, but I had only so much time to attend. Next time, I'm spending the cash and getting tickets to all the finals. It only rolls around every 4 years, so it's time to make it happen- our hearing doesn't improve with age.
