在網上讀到一篇寫於2010年關於這比賽的評論
“Waarts came second which was no dishonour. And he can take comfort from the history of the Menuhin competition, which suggests that coming second, third or lower gives you greater likelihood of success in later life that coming first. Tasmin Little never made it beyond second, Likewise Isabelle van Keulen. And Nikola Znaider only managed fifth.

One other thing the history of the Menuhin shows is how standardly the prize winners come with names like Chen, Wang, Kim or Park. And this year was no exception, with both the senior and junior winners, plus a high percentage of the runners-up, being of Chinese/Japanese/Korean stock.

No doubt about it: the focus of string playing at the highest level has decisively shifted west to east. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Just one of those evolutionary developments that old Europe has to live with,”

2010年 senior 冠軍 Xiang Yu 因為volcano ash被困在Iceland, 差點趕不及去參加第一輪比賽。

The new flight was fully booked already because there were so many people who got stuck in Iceland. However, the captain of the flight was a very good friend of the daughter of the ambassador, and she asked if there is any ways that can help me to get to Norway. After thinking for a while, the captain decided to let me sit in the cockpit with him and other pilots!
It was a once-in-a-life-time opportunity for me, and I DID sit with the pilots and flied to Trondheim Sunday afternoon.

After arriving Trondheim, I waited at the airport for a couple of hours and took an over-night bus to Oslo. It took me about 10 hours to get to Oslo and I was not able to sleep at all because of the bumpy road. My host mother in Oslo was such a wonderful lady who picked me up at the central station of Oslo even though it was 5 in the morning! After three hours' nap, I went to the academy, warming up a little bit, finishing all the registration things. All the people in the competition called me "The Iceland Boy." Eventually, I caught the end of the first round and I was the last performer of the day."



有趣的故事。
