I meant the rutube link.

I see... Well, sorry about this, there are very interesting musicians on this competition. If I will know that recordings are placed somewhere else besides rutube, I'll tell here.

Thanks

By the way, problems with rutube are due to DDOS attack, which has started yesterday at 3pm (Moscow time) and still goes on.

Wow!! Thanks for this Sanifor.

Have just watched Evgeni Bozhanov playing. I haven't heard anyone (except of course Richter) playing Rachmaninoff's Second so perfectly. I haven't seen the rest of the competition, but it looks like Evgeni has a good chance...

I wish I weren't on dialup speeds...

My 'unlimited' broadband ran out for this month.

And here are the results:

Of course. Easily!
