Chaque ann\u00e9e, La Scena Musicale<\/i> r\u00e9unit un jury informel qui \u00e9coute, note et \u00e9value les 24 participants du Concours musical international de Montr\u00e9al (CMIM). Pour l\u2019\u00e9dition piano de cette ann\u00e9e, une \u00e9quipe compos\u00e9e de la pianiste Fiona Wu, du musicologue Justin Bernard et du pianiste-musicologue Viktor Lazarov pr\u00e9sente ses pr\u00e9dictions pour les gagnants du concours.<\/p> \n

Fiona Wu\u2019s pick<\/h4>\n

\"\"Seungmin Shin (South Korea)
<\/b>Seungmin Shin stands out to me as an extremely high-level artist. She excels on all fronts: her sense of style is impeccable, her technique is rock-solid, her listening is razor-sharp, and her musicianship is authentic. Out of all 24 candidates, she spoke to me the most. In other words, she has an incredible way of communicating through the music that is simultaneously true to herself and true to the music. She plays with personality, integrity and soul, three rare qualities that characterize a winner of a major international piano competition. Lastly, while all 24 candidates impressed me, Seungmin Shin also inspired<\/i> me.<\/p>\n

Second: Tom Carr\u00e9 (France)
<\/b>Third: Rachel Breen (USA)<\/b><\/p>\n

Justin Bernard\u2019s pick<\/h4>\n

\"\"\u00c9lisabeth Pion (Canada)
<\/b>From one edition to the next, the CMIM candidates seem to be stronger than ever. Some have an exceptional technique that cannot be ignored. This is the case for the Chinese pianist Muzi Li or the South Korean Deawon Kim, both very flexible in their playing. Others have admirable dexterity, but distinguish themselves first and foremost as artists. Jakub Kuszlik (Poland), who placed fourth in the Chopin Competition last year and is already an established concert pianist, impresses with the delicacy of his touch. Born in Saint-Hyacinthe, Canadian \u00c9lisabeth Pion plays at home. The fact that she already knows the \u201cterrain\u201d could be to her advantage. Her musicality and her sense of phrasing, in the rises and falls, are the best I have heard among the 24.<\/p>\n

Second: Deawon Kim (South Korea)
<\/b>Third: Jakub Kuszlik (Poland)<\/b><\/p>\n

Viktor Lazarov’s pick
<\/b><\/h4>\n

\"\"Deawon Kim (South Korea)
<\/b>Deawon Kim flies through some of the most difficult piano music ever written, such as Ravel\u2019s Gaspard de la nuit<\/i>. Demonstrating breathtaking lightness in his touch, complete technical mastery, and an intuitive musicality, Kim distinguishes himself from other participants. His interpretations tastefully walk the line between predictability and surprise. Kim\u2019s playing does not shock, stir, or provoke; he may not be as spontaneous, poetic, or stylistically distinct as some other contestants. But, he is head and shoulders above everyone else in terms of the whole: a golden middle that characterizes a first-prize winner.<\/p>\n

Second: Adam Ka\u0142du<\/b>\u0144<\/b>ski (Poland)
<\/b>Third: Anthony Ratinov (USA)<\/b><\/p>\n
