One June 2024 was for twelve young violinists, who fought against stress for weeks and presented the best of their abilities for full halls, radio, TV and websites such as Klassiek Centraal where they may once have dreamed as a little girl or little boy, with still a quarter-size violin: to become laureate or even winner of a major violin competition. It is always only one who may and can win. Although there are always multiple winners, not in ranking, but in ability. Oh yes, it is easy to comment? Yes, right? Step up on that podium…
For those who can't get enough and want to review everything at home, you can do so on
the KEW website. You can order a special cd-box of the entire competition via this
special offer "Violin Duo 2024".
If you order the 4CD-box "Violin 2024" together with the special edition "4CD / Violin 2009 - 2012", a selection of mostly unpublished recordings by Ray Chen, Lorenzo Gatto, Vineta Sareika and Andrey Baranov, you will receive an extra CD dedicated to Júlia Pusker, Laureate in 2019. For every order placed before midnight Sunday 2 June 2024, an extra discount applies and no shipping costs are charged.
