..........Anybody watch it?  Certainly agreed with the result, although that saxophonist will go far.   What a task, choosing the winner!!

[Dulciana]

Nobody?  Oh well...

[Joyce]

I did! 

I wanted saxophonist to win, but understood why they picked the cellist.

[Dulciana]

Same here, cubagirl.   I'll look forward to hearing more about her.

He was a worthy winner.  All the finalists are winners in their own right to be there in the first place and they will all go on to do well I am sure.

[Dulciana]

He was and yes, they're all bound to have a good professional future.  I just felt that the saxophonist "sold" both the instrument and her piece to me.  Oh, these competitions.....    On one hand, they're the only way forward nowadays for people entering the solo musical profession.  On the other hand, they're a complete no-no for anyone later in life and so make it all the harder to make in-roads, even if you've got/may have what it takes.

My brother is fortunate enough to be able to go to all the heats live

I recorded it and just watched it curled up with a cuppa. Been avoiding this thread like the plague!

I thoroughly enjoyed it all and feel quite uplifted. I have to say, I've only just recently started listening to classical music and that's totally down to MM!

So thank you Dulciana et al

Lucky brother!

I spent last evening on the bathroom floor so missed most of the Show    I couldn't have picked a winner however, when we took part in competitions we were advised not to wear anything sassy as it would distract from the music!

[babyjane]

Are you still not feeling too well CLKD? 

[CLKD]

Some improvement 2-day.  Biggest problem was the floaty head inside my skull, not eating probably then feeling really ill.  We don't have a downstairs cloakroom [long story short] so laying on the bathroom floor was easier.

Once Himself has cooked my evening meal I hope I will pick up a bit more.  At least the floaty head has stopped!

I can't imagine living in a musical family - not one that jammed together as a matter of course.  Must be great, though rather noisy  . 

[Dulciana]

Hope you're feeling better now, CLKD.
