[더프리뷰=서울] 이시우 기자 = 5월 14일 막을 내린 제19회 몬트리올 국제음악콩쿠르(Concours Musical International de Montréal, CMIM PIANO 2021)에서 1등상을 받은 피아니스트 김수연(27)의 상금이 무려 1억7천만원에 이르는 것으로 알려져 화제가 되고 있다. 메이저급 국제음악대회의 상금 규모가 만만치않은 것은 이미 알려진 사실이지만 이번 CMIM의 상금 규모는 눈길을 끌기에 충분하다.

김수연은 이번 대회 우승으로 몬트리올시가 수여하는 3만 캐나다달러(약 2천800만원)의 상금을 비롯해 음반제작 지원, 북미순회연주 등 CMIM 사상 최고 금액인 약 18만 캐나다달러(약 1억7천만원)의 혜택을 받게 된다.

2위는 일본의 치바 요이치로, 3위는 프랑스의 디미트리 말리냥(Dimitri Malignan)이 차지했다. 말리냥은 2등상 외에 몬트리올 바흐축제상(Festival Bach Montréal Award for the best performance of a work by J. S. Bach)과 특별상(ICI Musique Audience Award)도 받았다.

주최측은 올해 대회의 상금 총액이 23만5천 캐나다달러(약 2억1천150만원)로 역대 최고를 기록하게 된 것은 오로지 후원자들의 호의 덕분이라고 밝혔다.

호기심 많은 독자들을 위해 올해 CMIM의 상금 내역을 알아본다. 다음은 주최측이 발표한 상금 내역(단위는 캐나다달러).
