After many hours of listening, Gramophone's critics have chosen the 12 recordings that will receive Gramophone Awards this year. Click here to view the winners list.

This year's shortlist of 72 recordings (which you can explore in full via our free digital magazine) featured many of the leading classical musicians of our time, including Maria João Pires, Thomas Adès, Pavel Haas Quartet, Grigory Sokolov, Claudio Abbado, Joyce DiDonato, Jonas Kaufmann, Andris Nelsons, Cecilia Bartoli and Riccardo Chailly, and from this shortlist the 12 winners were chosen.

The repertoire of the 12 Award-winning recordings is exceptionally diverse, ranging from Bach's Solo Cello Suites to Bruckner's Ninth Symphony, and from Schubert Lieder to Monteverdi's Vespri solenni per la festa di San Marco.
