Official World Record recognizes Helen Mun Ying Woo (林敏瑩), of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, for the establishment of a new official world record in the category titled Largest Collection of Virtual Piano Four Hands Performances by Two Pianists Across Two Cities.

The 1996 Far East Cup: Aleksander Shpak’s Legacy in the First-Ever Music Competition Without Borders
The world’s first international music competition based on video recordings “Far East Cup”, 1996, Vladivostok, Russia. In 1996, when music competitions were held exclusively live, and the Internet and digital technologies were not widely available, Aleksander Shpak came up with an idea and organized the world’s first international music competition based on video recordings.
