Hugo Kitano - New Orleans International Piano Competition

[classicalalways]

Refreshing to hear an incredible teenager who studies in "the States." The program was exceptionally ambitious - the Liszt and Prokofiev are things that already have champions that are hard to match (Berman and Lugansky in the Liszt and Richter and Kissin in the Prokofiev). Meanwhile, judges always are strange - just look at who their "winners" often are (anyone check out the last Chopin Competition?!). What's more important is developing a close affinity to certain repertoire.
