Thanks to the invaluable work of our media partners, VRT and RTBF, who have been recording the Competition’s performances for decades, our media library continues to grow into a true goldmine for music lovers. Historic audio recordings are patiently restored, digitized and brought back to life. These exceptional recordings from 1951 were already available on our website, but they have recently been restored and newly digitised by the VRT archives. Rediscover this remarkable heritage of the Competition, now in a stunning new version. Dive into the past, listen online and relive the magic of a bygone era!
(note: There is not yet a restored version available of the concerto performed by Theo Olof.)
