Moscow, September 5 (MTI) – A Hungarian organist won the fourth
Mikael Tariverdiev International Organ Competition in Kaliningrad,
Russia this weekend.
Out of 19 participants, the 25 year-old Istvan Matyas won the first
prize and the accompanying USD 5,000 award.
Tariverdiev (1931-1996) was born in an Armenian family in Tbilisi and
became popular in the 1960 for revolutionarising Soviet film music.
He wrote his compositions for organ in the mid-1980s, inspired by
global problems such as the nuclear catastrophe in Chernobyl.
