It is a great pleasure for me to present you this Double CD, Vol. 43, of the series Klangdebüts containing the musical highlights of the 8th International Competition “Franz Schubert and Modern Music”.

The chairpersons of the three categories selected with high diligence the best performances not only of all rounds played at MUMUTH and Florentinersaal of the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz but also of the concert of prize-winners at Stefaniensaal of Graz Convention Centre. Please allow me to thank them for their excellent choice! Among the œuvres presented on this CD we find also the prize-winning works of the Competition for Composition organized in the forefront in order to extend the repertoire for piano trio. It is remarkable to see that a particularly pleasant trend continues which has set in a few competitions before. It reflects a growing interest of the participants to approach modern music with great joy and even enthusiasm and not the mere compliance with a compulsory repertoire. Therefore, the focus on contemporary music, a priority of KUG, becomes self-evident.

I owe special thanks to the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics of the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz and the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation ORF for the recordings and all those who contributed to the success of this CD production.

Dear listeners, let the touching charm of the young artists mesmerize you, and capture the special atmosphere of the competition! Let me wish all prize-winners that “Franz Schubert and Modern Music” has brought you an important step forward to a fulfilled artistic career.
