The Competitors


A couple of days ago I wrote about the movie I saw called Russia's Wonderchildren.  Today I finally saw The Competitors.  It was great to see the children ten years older.  The youngest, Irina, is my age and I was amazed at how well she played.  Additionally, I could relate myself a lot to Irina.  We are similar in age and we have similar personalities.  More importanly we both love our instruments and music. 

Lena the oldest played Beethoven so well.  Her control and technique was absolutely amazing.  Mitya had great composition skills and he based his tunes on jazz music.  Nikita not only plays the piano well, but he also plays trumpet.  I was amazed how all of them pursued music as their careers.  10 years ago they had ambitions to become pianists and they did.

I hope to see their names on posters and see them in concerts.
