The Tchaikovsky Competition
The 2011 Tchaikovsky Competition wrapped up in Moscow yesterday. The competition, held every four years since it started in 1958, has a history of controversy. This year was no different. The story of one player escorted off the stage by security guards, another being insulted by a conductor during a recital, and a performance by one of the gold-medal winners, cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan, all in today's show.
