    The 20-year-old featured in Gramophone's One to Watch section in
    January 2003, for his debut disc, on EMI. He recently recorded the
    Sibelius and Khachaturian concertos on the Naïve label, with the
    Sinfonia Varsovia conducted by Emmanuel Krivine. His next recordings,
    also on Naïve, will be a solo programme, followed by Shostakovich's
    Concertos Nos 1 and 2 with the Orchestre National de France conducted
    by Kurt Masur.

    Held in Brussels, the Queen Elisabeth competition rotates over a four
    year cycle between piano, voice, violin and composition.

    Second and third prize were awarded to Yossif Ivanov and Sophia Jaffe.
