El 58 ° Concurso Internacional de Acordeón Klingenthal se llevó a cabo en línea del 2 al 8 de mayo de 2021.

Como el tradicional Concurso Internacional de Acordeón Klingenthal (desde 1963) tuvo que cancelarse debido a la pandemia del año pasado, los organizadores de Jörg Künzl no querían volver a correr este riesgo, por lo que cambiaron el formato desde el principio: un evento cara a cara. se convirtió en una competencia en línea. ¡Klingenthal volvió a establecer altos estándares!

Un sincero agradecimiento a todos los participantes que se han preparado con mucho compromiso y diligencia para este punto culminante musical tradicional en el mundo del acordeón, lo que demuestran de manera impresionante las numerosas presentaciones de videos exitosos y artísticamente muy valiosos.

El jurado, presidido por el Prof.Stefan Hussong, compuesto por Andreas Nebl, Prof.Claudia Buder, Ulf Seifert (todos de Alemania), Prof. Jacques Mornet (Francia), Maciej Frackiewicz (Polonia), Sergey Osokin (Rusia), Prof. Ivano Battiston (Italia), Dr. Veli Kujala (Finlandia), Prof. Geir Draugsvoll (Noruega) y Mons. Ladislav Horák (República Checa), se presentaron 84 candidatos de 17 países.

Entonces, el nuevo formato fue bastante atractivo y abrió la oportunidad de participar para más candidatos de más países. Por supuesto, las nuevas posibilidades del mundo digital presentaban nuevos desafíos, pero los resultados eran siempre prometedores. En cualquier caso, no cabía duda del dominio de China y Rusia, tanto en número de participantes como en número de premiados.

Sin embargo, siempre hay artistas jóvenes individuales de otros países que simplemente no provienen de un sistema de formación estatal bien desarrollado, sino que pueden mantenerse al día por iniciativa propia. De todos modos, el nivel de interpretación es tan alto a nivel internacional que a menudo depende en gran medida de la evaluación individual de un jurado sobre el entorno cultural que lo moldeó.

Como austriaco, me complació mucho que Danijel Piller (ver video arriba) tuviera éxito en la categoría de música ligera logrando un segundo lugar, luego de los éxitos de años anteriores en Castelfidardo y CMA. Su sofisticada técnica, su sentimiento por diferentes estilos musicales y su ahora muy amplia experiencia en competición le han llevado a estos éxitos.
