“These two weeks were truly exciting. The entire music community watched wonderful, talented people: which of them would become the laureates of the competition. The competition, which is being held for the second time, was born in the year of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s 150th anniversary and has now definitely entered not only our musical life, but also the musical life of the entire world,” Tatyana Golikova told journalists.
She emphasized that the competition has become a unique launching pad for gifted, talented musicians.
“I would like to once again congratulate the laureates and express gratitude to our international jury and the heads of the three areas: Denis Leonidovich Matsuev, who stood at the origins of the competition, Valery Abisalovich Gergiev and Alexander Vladimirovich Tchaikovsky. I am very pleased that our country has become the birthplace of new talents,” the Deputy Prime Minister noted. “We see that art knows no borders, and music is becoming an international language of friendship.”
