Interesting stuff. Most of them are already pretty advanced in the field, aren't they? I would not have been able to choose a winner easily but my vote would probably have gone to one of the first two performers. I liked the playing of Katie Boyle - haven't I heard that name somewhere before? - and I suppose I was also going to go for voice. I was though really quite taken by Kirsty Watt who I felt had considerable presence and conveyed real feeling. Just one thing there though. I feel that she could work a little more on the low notes, some of which occasionally seemed uncertain, while the high ones were always absolutely stunning.
