[mattculb]

I disagreed unfortunately with much of the commentary on the Brahms Von ewiger liebe performance, and personally disrespected the adjudicators choice not to let the performers actually complete the song at least once uninterrupted. That's very important in masterclasses and lectures, performers only start learning and adjusting in the moment when they realize things on their own and have opportunities to grow as a musician and build confidence independent of cool names like Jard van Nes and David Selig.

The first pianist is very good.
The second barytone has a superior technique and interpretation.
Fabian Langguth has a lovely voice.
