19th July Daily Report


Senior Virtuoso Knock-out Competition
 
Contestants compete in several rounds of competition. At the conclusion of each round, the judges decide who is able to proceed to the following round. As a reward for contestant passing through to the next round, the contestants can then choose between taking a cash prize and leaving the competition, or return the prize and proceed to the next round for an even bigger cash prize with the risk of the possibility of elimination. This new concept met with enthusiasm from the contestants and audience alike, making it an exciting and quick moving event.

Apologies for the sound recording of the video. The standard video camera microphone does not
convey well the "huge" sound of a Bayan Mix performance.
Bayan Mix arrangement of the famous Czardus by Vittorio Monti
There are two works in the above video clip.
1. Libertango by Astor Piazzolla arranged by Sergey Voitenko.
2. Not many people realise what a superbly talented composer Sergey Voitenko is. His work for solo accordion titled "Revelations" is performed around the world. On this video clip, second half, is the very beautiful tango medley "Tango de Latino" by Sergey Voitenko.
