chopin competition winner

on: January 02, 2011, 07:45:40 AM

Not that I care, but has anyone heard the dirt that Avdeeva (or whatever her name is) won the chopin competition because she was backed by YAMAHA?

I don't really care for Yamaha pianos anyway. They have no soul. I really wasn't impressed by anything she played. And these competitions are always political, hence why I don't bother or believe in competitions.
