Symétrie 1ère catégorie V (Russie) Vidéo 4 Danijel Piller 2e catégorie VI (Autriche) Le 58e Concours international d'accordéon de Klingenthal s'est tenu en ligne du 2 au 8 mai 2021. Le traditionnel Concours International d'Accordéon (depuis 1963) Klingenthal a dû, l’année dernière, être annulé en raison de la pandémie. Cette année, les organisateurs, sous la direction de Jörg Künzl, n'ont pas voulu prendre de risque et ont donc changé le format en amont: le concours en présentiel est devenu un concours en ligne. Klingenthal a établi une fois de plus des standards élevés! Le jury, présidé par le Pr Stefan Hussong, composé d'Andreas Nebl, du Pr Claudia Buder, d'Ulf Seifert (tous d'Allemagne), du Pr Jacques Mornet (France), de Maciej Frackiewicz (Pologne), de Sergey Osokin (Russie), du Prof. Ivano Battiston (Italie), Dr. Veli Kujala (Finlande), Prof. Geir Draugsvoll (Norvège) et Mgr. Ladislav Horák (République tchèque), a écouté 84 candidats de 17 pays. La nouvelle formule eut l’intérêt d’offrir la possibilité à plus de candidats, de plus de pays, de participer. Bien sûr, les nouvelles possibilités du monde numérique présentèrent de nouveaux défis, mais les résultats furent prometteurs. On put constaté une domination de la Chine et de la Russie, tant en termes de nombre de participants que de nombre de lauréats. En tant qu'Autrichien, je fux heureux d’être témoin du succès de Danijel Piller dans la catégorie musique légère, en obtenant la deuxième place après ses succès des années précédentes à Castelfidardo et CMA (voir vidéo ci-dessus). Sa technique sophistiquée, son sens des différents styles musicaux et sa grande expérience sont les clefs de ces succès. Télécharger les résultats du concours : 2021KlingResults.pdf |
