Congratulations to all.
A fine group of Pianoteq masters made a wonderful showing in this year's Pianoteq Competition, from the deserved winning entrants and on to everyone participating.
All should be very proud of their most excellent efforts.
@Andrei Demidenko
Such wonderful prowess, much enjoyed! Masterful - so thrilled to witness this and very glad to have the pleasure of your company on this forum.

Your entry certainly shows a mavellous way to use Pianoteq. I love how current generations might be able to hear more modern sounding reproductions of prior performances. It could take even an expert pianist a while to realise "Hang on, that's not the original recording... what's happening here?" Entertaining and quite stunning beyond, honestly.

Always enjoyable to relax while someone with all the cool chops makes a scene complete - good to see a current slam on the era you're exploring there, along with standout authentic instrumentation and those early synth sounds. Wonderful.

I think with your next year entry, win or lose, a 10 year trophy would be wonderful (lobby lobby lobby). I took much delight in your entry - from the artful composition, the audio and more - an absolute champion and a gentleman you are.
I feel likewise with all the others on this fine forum - good to enjoy this snippet of time with you all.
Just to say an extra special thank you to for much enjoyment to the others in the top 10..
4. Ceej - (So intriguing as a composition and as a mix - nice also seeing Studio One)
5. tabita - (I've seen your excellent videos on YT before the comp - greatly loved your entry!)
6. Marc Boulé - (Sweet modern composing - very interesting seeing your approach)
7. SingingChris - (Well done - a fine modern standard indiviually painted to high level)
8. mitsubamushi - (Again, such a complex wonder of intersecting sounds and rhythms)
9. Vadium - (Breathtaking result - fresh, acoustic, charming and sweet as honey)
10. sven karma - (Wonderfully original composition, sounds and visually - highly affecting)
Each of your entries were not only a great example of using Pianoteq, but you each made me feel wonder and joy, not just for me, but for the world of music and certainly more generally too
And to each other entrant, you really are so very special in my heart! - I do hope to see you again next year - as you sincerely made this year a better one - thank you each for sharing your wonderful talents and I wish the world for you all.
To judges and Modartt folks I send my warmest regards and many thanks. You make each year at this time a genuinely heartwarming time for us all.
Another year is passing and I'm looking forward keenly to what the next year holds for the competition.
My very best wishes to everyone.
