TEL AVIV - On Thursday the 11th of May, the first prize of the 2017 Rubinstein International Piano Competition was awarded to Szymon Nehring, and the second prize to Daniel Ciobanu. Both had chosen the Fazioli piano for performance on all stages of the competition.<br />
<br />
The final session of the 15th Arthur Runinstein Piano Competition in Tel Aviv, one of the world’s most important piano competitions, took place yesterday, the 11th of May. An estimated 500,000 people followed the live streaming via YouTube, Facebook, Medici TV and the Israeli channels. Rich in suspense, the 45-minutes long prize distribution ceremony started after an already considerable hour-long break, during which the jury was able to deliberate. The competition, taking place every four years, had started on the 25th of April with 30 candidates.<br />
<br />
Three were the rounds – qualifying, semi-finals and finals – the latter organised in three important subjects – chamber music, classical concerto and grand concerto. Three were also the pianos on stage, of different brands, among which the Italian concert grand, arrived in Tel Aviv directly from the factory in Sacile (60 Km far from Venice), where it had been expressly selected and prepared for this important event.<br />
<br />
Ten out of thirty candidates chose Fazioli when it came to selecting the instrument: Luka Okros (Georgia), Alberto Ferro (Italy), Ilya Maximov (Russia), Tomer Gewirtzman (Israel), Yevgeny Yontov (Istrael), Rafael Skorka (Israel), Szymon Nehring (Poland), Eric Lu (USA), Daniel Petrica Ciobanu (Romania).<br />
<br />
Six of the 10 that had chosen the Fazioli went through to the semifinals - Luka Okros, Yevgeny Yontov, Szymon Nehring, Eric Lu and Daniel Petrica Ciobanu, joined by the French Milstein. For the final round, half of the candidates remained in the field.<br />
<br />
It was such an honour to see all three “Fazioli” finalists being awarded a number of prizes, among which the first two steps of the podium: the first prize was awarded to the 19-year-old Polish candidate Szymon Nehring, while the second prize went to the Rumanian Daniel Ciobanu. The 28-year-old Yevgeny Yontov, placed sixth, has nonetheless being awarded the “Best Israeli Pianist” and “Best Performer of Chamber Music” Prizes.<br />
<br />
The winner Szymon Nehring received many other acknowledgements from the jury: Best Performer of a Chopin Piece Prize, Advanced Studies Prize and the Junior Jury Prize. Daniel Petrica Ciobanu, on the other hand, won the “Audience Favourite” Prize.<br />
<br />
The satisfaction for the Italian grand and concert grand piano company was tremendous, as echoed by a statement made by Mr. Fazioli himself: “These moments are destined to remain memorable in in the history of the company and represent the highest acknowledgement to the continuous research process that Fazioli carries on in order to improve its product".<br />

VANCOUVER, BC - On Wednesday the 5th of October, Showcase Pianos sponsored the Fazioli piano for the Nature Trust of BC's Fundraiser Gala, which celebrated 45 years of land conservation.<br />
<br />
Local music educator Annabelle Paetsch performed skillfully on the Fazioli, and said of the piano: “The touch is highly responsive; encouraging and facilitating tonally nuanced playing. Truly a very rewarding artistic experience! I can see why the Fazioli is in demand as a recording instrument as well as for live concerts."<br />
<br />
The event was held at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, where guests enjoyed an amazing evening of food and music, showing their support for continued land conservation in the province of BC.<br />

VANCOUVER, BC - On Wednesday the 7th of September, Showcase Pianos was invited to send a hand made Italian Fazioli piano to the unveiling of the incredible Bugatti Chiron - the most powerful car being made in the world today.<br />
<br />
Guests enjoyed beautiful music performed by the Max Zipursky Jazz Trio. All were welcomed by Bugatti dealership owner Asgar Virgi, who invited 9-year-old award winning pianist Ray Zhang to perform a song for the unveiling of the Bugatti Chiron while ballerinas danced around the car gracefully.<br />
<br />
At around $4m CAD, the Bugatti Chiron is one of the most costly automobiles in the world - and with 1,500 horsepower, it is definitely the most powerful. Truly the pinnacle of automobile engineering.<br />

VANCOUVER, BC - On the evening of Thursday the 21st of July, Dilawri Canada (MCL Motors) unveiled the Bentley's new Extended Wheel Base Mulsanne. The automobile is the 'crown jewel' of the brand, and is truly a beautiful work of art and an incredible piece of engineering. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Only 25 will make it to the USA, making the automobile and the event a rare opportunity for guests to view it.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is no wonder then that Showcase Pianos was invited to bring a hand-made Fazioli piano to the special event at the Waterfall Building, where Vancouver's most talented jazz pianist Max Zipursky played on it for the appreciative guests, while amazing vocalist Dawn Narai blessed the airwaves with the sound of her voice. </div>

DRUMMONDVILLE, QC - On Sunday the 3rd of July, Fazioli owners Ray Zhang and Isabelle Xin-Yi Wang competed in the final round of the CMC Music Competition, and placed 1st and 3rd respectively.<br />
<br />
The two young pianists, that have 3 Fazioli pianos between the 2 of them, are delighted to be able to practice at home on Fazioli pianos, and feel the hand-made Italian piano gives them additional room for expression that they are not able to find in any other pianos.<br />
<br />
Both Ray and Isabelle study with Ms. Xiao, owner of the <a href="http://fafanpiano.com/" target="_blank">FaFan Piano Studio</a>. Ms. Xiao is one of the most skilled teachers with young children, and is able to help students progress incredibly quickly.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462240709222743282.post-32812171899280604452016-06-27T23:52:00.002-07:002016-06-27T23:52:45.268-07:00Calgary Periodontist Wins Cliburn Amateur Piano Competition <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Carl Bechstein set out to manufacture a piano able to withstand the great demands imposed on the instrument by the virtuosi of the time, such as Franz Liszt. In 1857, Liszt’s son-in-law, Hans von Bulow, gave the first public performance on a Bechstein grand piano by performing Liszt's Piano Sonata in B minor in Berlin.<br />
<br />
For over 160 years, Bechstein pianos have held a reputation as among the finest pianos in the world, competing with Bösendorfer and Steinway in construction, performance and tonal quality. The great composers Liszt, Wagner, Brahms, Debussy, and many others remarked on the marvelous tone they produced.<br />
