Results
of the Gustav Mahler Prize Piano Competition 2021
Dear competitors,
Dear teachers,
The results are out, and the jury is thrilled to announce the winners of each category.
We listened through many hours of your recordings (in total 163 pianists applied) and we all thoroughly enjoyed the playing and admired the talent that you all possess.
Sadly, we are only able to award a limited number of prices, however we have decided to assign several special prices too, especially to those, whose performance of a specific repertoire was standing out from the rest.
Many congratulations to you and to your teachers, who prepared you so well for the competition despite the difficult situation that was caused by the Covid19 pandemic.
I also would like to thank for participating and praise those, who didn't get awarded one of the top three prizes- we heard many good performances that perhaps were not perfect, however, they showed your pianistic abilities and musical sensitivity that surely will be developing and improving in the years to come.
Once again, well done to all and hope to see many of you again in the next years' edition of the Gustav Mahler Piano Prize 2022.
With best wishes and enjoy the summer!

"On 13-10-1870 there was, by way of an exception, an Abonnement suspendu, the reason being that a nine year-old boy, the son of a local Jewish tradesman named Mahler, was to be heard for the first time playing the piano before a large audience. The great success the future virtuoso achieved with his audience did him honour; one could only wish that for his excellent playing he had had an equally good instrument at his service. If the young artist's former teacher, Herr Kapellmeister Viktorin, hears of yesterday's success, he can certainly be pleased with his protege."
