Van Cliburn Favorites?

on: May 21, 2005, 02:30:46 AM

Anyone have favorites of who is likely to win? Or at least the top 5 pianists to be watching out for?

Koltakov, Xiohan and Franceschetti from the last edition, and Ana Gabriela Martinez and Maria Mazo a pair of youngsters that have everything it takes.

It is always a surprise though.

Kobrin, Franceschetti, Lilian Akopova seem likely.

I really like Grace Fong's recital. Loved the program.

I heard Franceschetti in a recital and he wasn't good at all. Maybe the reason is because it was a fairly unimportant recital (small hall, no important people etc.), but he just... wasn't good.
