I assume the Rayners in Percussion are brothers. Is this a first? (and can you imagine being their parents!)



There were 2 sisters in the string final once, I remember. I don't think either of them won. They had another sister who played the oboe - I think she had been a finalist previously, also.

A recorder won the woodwind final. It will be interesting to hear a recorder concerto if she makes it to the final three!!

I hope this year we get plenty of music instead of half the programme on the biographies of the candidates


2010 was marginally better on this than the lamentable 2008 coverage, but I'll be very surprised if much changes for 2012, to be honest...

It would be a good start if they updated the 2012 webpage.

I knew about the woodwind winner, but deliberately didn't post so as not to spoil the surprise for others if they wanted to watch it unfold on TV.....

You can find the results on-line if you want to look at http://eyesometric.wordpress.com/

Sorry if I created disappointment for some. Don't look if you don't want to know yet!

The first episode is being broadcast tonight on BBC 4 at 19.30 (Friday, April 13).
They will be showing the Keyboard category final.

Just in case anyone wants to look out for it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Anyone else watching this? No girls/ women either competing in or judging the piano semi final. I find that a bit odd to be honest. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Interestingly over the other 4 categories it is split exactly 50:50 between girls and boys.

That didn't occur to me until you mentioned it!...

Thoroughly deserving winner I thought though.

I thought all five of the pianists were wonderful. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piano.gif) If you shut your eyes you could imagine any of them as professional pianists. I think the right chap won though - how can anyone be so musical at just 15?! The future of classical music in this country looks assured! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have to admit, it made me feel there is little point in my playing, because I would never be as good as those five. Still, give me a day or two and I'll get back to it!
