International Franz Liszt Piano Competition
- International Franz Liszt Piano Competition
The International Franz Liszt Piano Competition ("Liszt Competition") is one of the world's major international piano competitions, rivalled only by the International Frederick Chopin Piano Competition as the most important piano competition devoted exclusively to one composer.Fact|date=August 2008
The Competition is held in Utrecht in the Netherlands. It first took place in 1986, one hundred years after the death of Franz Liszt. The piano competition was well received from the outset by both concert audiences and the music press, and the resoundingly positive response to the first competition was a great incentive to continue. The success of the subsequent competitions made it very clear that there was no going back: the Liszt Competition had taken its place on the world stage of international piano competitions, and each of the seven subsequent competitions has only made the position of the International Franz Liszt Piano Competition more secure. The large number of engagements, both in the Netherlands and abroad, offered to all prize winners makes it clear that the competition’s worldwide profile is on the rise.
Since the first time the Liszt Competition was held it has had the privilege of welcoming over two hundred selected participants of extremely high calibre from all over the world. Some of the past prize winners have been: Martyn van den Hoek (1986), Wibi Soerjadi, Enrico Pace (1989), Sergey Pashkevich (1992), Igor Roma (1996), Yundi Li, Masaru Okada (1999), Jean Dubé (2002), Yingdi Sun (2005) and Vitaly Pisarenko (2008).
