Leo van Doeselaar, Martin Haselböck, Matteo Imbruno, Francesco di Lernia
During the final concert of the Sweelinck Festival 2007, the president of the jury, mr. Gustav Leonhardt, announced the result of the competition.
The jury was pleased with the level of the players, and found there were
excellent performances in all programs.
Still there were also things that, according to the jury, could be improved.
Finally Stefan van de Wijgert, from the Netherlands, received the highest score.
It was the judgement of the jury that the overall standard was not enough to reward a first prize, and therefore he received a second prize.
