If you’re a fan of classical music, particularly piano music, you’ll want to check out the 13th Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. No, you don’t have to go to Fort Worth, it’s available for you to watch online at: http://www.cliburn.tv/ This format sets the bar very high for all other competitions. It’s almost like a reality TV show with unscripted drama and insightful rehearsals. Highly recommended!
Technology does have its upside.
The Cliburn competition has set a new standard for Internet access to the entire process. Hopefully, this will generate more interest in classical music.
I finally got around to watching / listening to this. It’ll take some time to go through all the content, I wonder how long it will be available? I also wonder how common it is to have a tie – a split first prize. I don’t recall that in the past. Nice stuff, thanks, George, for the tip.
The Cliburn’s use of video and the Internet has transformed the classical competition world.

Good sound, adequate picture (at full screen). Very nice indeed. Thank you, George, for the tip.
