The specialized press described it as the clearest victory of all editions held to date. Brian Liao\u2014a Taiwanese-born conductor trained in the United States\u2014demonstrated an interpretative maturity and stage presence rarely seen in a conductor of his age throughout the four phases of the competition. His victory in Ll\u00edria served as the springboard for an international career that has not slowed down since.
The first phase required conductors to tackle one of the most demanding works in the modern repertoire: Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire (Universal Edition), a piece that simultaneously tests gestural technique, musicality, the relationship with the ensemble, and the ability to communicate without a score.<\/p>\n

The rest of the podium consisted of:
2nd Prize \u2014 Luibov Nosova
3rd Prize \u2014 Edmon Levon
Special Prize \u2014 Daniel Ros<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
