Talk:International Tchaikovsky Competition

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1970 Cello Competition - twice somebody has changed the winner to Vagram Saradjian. In 1970 Saradjian shared 4th prize as can be seen here on the Tchaikovsky Competition offical website:

Though this is not suprising given the wording of Saradjian's bio:

My sources:

• General competition info and 2002 winners from Official page
• Most winners' names from New York Times articles
• http://www.vor.ru/century/1958m.html (and other years) - some clarifications
• http://english.pravda.ru/culture/2003/03/18/44560.html - clarification of when violinists started, 2002 count
• http://english.pravda.ru/culture/2002/06/07/29926.html - number of prizes and entrants in 2002
• Piano winners (not completely accurate) from http://www.lib.washington.edu/music/tchaikovsky.html
• http://www.vor.ru/English/tales/tales_018.html - has many vocal winners, though all data also found in NYT
• http://inkpot.com/concert/pf00lugan.html - clarifies that Lugansky won silver, not gold
• http://english.pravda.ru/culture/2001/10/16/18171.html - confirms that Klimov won in 1958; NYT focused almost entirely on Cliburn, barely mentioning that there was also a violin competition

There are several winners that are unclear and which I have consequently left out for now, as well as some I haven't found at all. I hope to clarify them with further research.

I have tried to put all names in "Western" order, family name last. When presented with varying spellings I chose the one that turned up more often in Google. Most names are unlinked; I only linked those that I had heard of.
