After successfully ploughing their way through the highly competitive rounds of the Concours Reine Elisabeth in Brussels, Wataru Hisasue was awarded the Second Prize and Sergei Tanin the Sixth Prize at the final concert with magnificent renderings of, repectively, Brahms’s Second Piano Concerto and Prokofiev’s Third, as well as the imposed piece for piano and orchestra, “Music for the Heart”, which the competition had commissioned from Kris Defoort.
