To be able to stand on the prize podium in a major competition is of course a real feat as the level of the competitiors usually is very high, which was the case here as well. The Friday\u2019s starting round included eleven duos from all over Europe, of which eight advanced to Saturday’s semi-finals and finally four to Sunday’s final. Octavian and Anna’s program was beautiful and showed a great artistic breadth, where famous Scandinavian composers such as Nielsen, Sibelius, Grieg and Stenhammar had their obvious place, but also lesser-known ones such as Ahovaara, Heise, N\u00f6rholm and Langgard. Other composers in the program were Hahn, Britten, Webern, Bernstein, Boulanger, Schubert, Poulenc, Strauss and last but not least Bj\u00f6rk (yes exactly that Bj\u00f6rk)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The jury consisted of Toke Lund Christiansen (chairman), Andreas Schmidt, Tove L\u00f6nskov, Roger Vignoles, Eva Hess Thaysen, Kirsten Buhl M\u00f6ller and Niklas Sivel\u00f6v.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another big and warm congratulations on a top achievement!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
