00:30This competition has a bold ambition to revolutionize the world of music contests.
00:45Its global outreach was keyed from the start, with six pre-selection events held at major music capitals around the world.
00:51It's also inclusive on the age front, with finalists about to step on this stage, ranging from 17 to 48.
00:58Amongst the talented 12 who made it through to the final stage were Rufi Ling from China,
01:06Mariusz Patira from Poland and Germany,
01:09Heik Kazarzyan from Armenia,
01:18and 17-year-old Jingju Li from China.
01:25They performed concertos from Beethoven to Brahms, in addition to a solo encore,
01:32leading the orchestra as a concertmaster and interpreting one of three works by composer-in-residence Alexei Shaw.
01:42Everybody has their own story to tell some music,
01:45and it's really exciting for me to see how they play my music, which is the same music, so differently.
01:51Responsibility for choosing the winner fell to 25 judges, made up of esteemed conductors, violinists and directors,
01:59with many emphasizing the importance of finalists showcasing versatility when playing both classical masterworks and contemporary pieces like those of Alexei Shaw.
02:09Everybody, when he thinks about classical music, okay, that's old stuff.
02:15But this is not true.
02:17But for this reason, it's very important that we don't play only composers of the 18th or 17th century.
02:25Respected Swiss-Bulgarian conductor and competition judge Misha Daumov
02:29is keen to see reforms in classical music concerts go even further.
02:34Why should we not be able to clap after a movement?
02:38Why should we not be able to stand up and whistle?
02:42I think all these kind of things are not modernized.
02:45As Daumov and his fellow adjudicators scrutinized the techniques and talents of the artists on stage,
02:51displays of fun and fearlessness were warmly welcomed.
02:54Most importantly is this sort of not being scared, being courageous to put your stamp everywhere.
03:02China was strongly represented throughout the competition,
03:06and orchestral luminary Dai Lin reflected on the evolving classical music landscape in his homeland.
03:12The young generation loved class music very much.
03:16In Beijing or music hall in Shenzhen, Shanghai,
03:19everywhere there's any first class orchestra come here to make a performance.
03:24As Dai and his fellow jurors concluded their deliberations,
03:2742-year-old Armenian Haik Kazazian proved the worthy winner.
03:35The seasoned violinist delivered outstanding performances of pieces by Tchaikovsky, Strauss,
03:41Beethoven, Alexei Shaw, and a show-stopping encore.
03:45I said, this is the thing I need to choose.
03:55This should be something special and quite rare,
03:58really something special and interesting also for a jury.
04:01Kazazian's musical mastery earned him a check for 200,000 euros
04:05and a handcrafted Stradivari model violin by Fabio Piergentini.
04:10The violinist was humbled by his win in the Emirates.
04:13I feel responsible and, first of all, in front of my colleagues that were sitting there
04:18because I know all of them are really great.
04:20First inspired to pick up a violin as a child after hearing Vivaldi's melodic four seasons,
04:26Kazazian recommends aspiring competition winners do the same.
04:33I would advise to young musicians to listen recordings of outstanding musicians
04:39and feel that they will be inspired and they will want to play like that.
04:43Words worthy of note from the exemplary musician whose passion and precision
04:48embodied the first classical violin Olympus International competition.
