Upon arriving at the Poznan (Poland) airport, a traveler with a love for classical music cannot help but notice a name emblazoned in large letters on the aerodrome: Henryk Wieniawski. A century after the birth of Poland’s beloved 19th century violin virtuoso and composer, the violin competition that bears his name was inaugurated. That first iconic session back in 1935 boasted a stellar list of prize winners. Ginette Neveu, David Oistrakh and Henri Temianka were awarded the top three prizes with the seven-year-old Ida Haendel winning the seventh place and Hollywood’s prize violinist Bronislaw Gimpel taking the ninth place.
