Child pianist Lydian Nadhaswaram of India won The World’s Best talent show on Wednesday (Mar 13), defeating participants from more than 150 countries to pick up the US$1 million (S$1.36 million) cash prize.

He beat out South Korea’s Kukkiwon, or The Flying Taekwondo Masters in the grand finale, with the final decision made by 50 representatives from 38 countries.

“When I see Lydian, it gives me hope. He should be the answer to Chinese pianist Lang Lang. I think he will be India's musical ambassador,” A R Rahman (Academy Award-winning Indian Tamil music director) said.

Organised by Singapore’s only classical music station Symphony 924, YTP is Mediacorp’s annual celebration of classical music and talents. In its eighth edition this year, YTP saw close to a hundred young musicians entering the competition in two age categories – Junior Category for children between seven and 12 years old, and Senior Category for those aged between 13 and 17. Ten finalists were eventually shortlisted to perform a classical piece of their choice at the Grand Finals.
