Monday, September 24, 2012
In just a few days time the 2012 Gramophone Classical Music Awards, presented this year in association with EFG International and Steinway & Sons, will be unveiled. On Thursday, September 27, at a ceremony in London, the winning recordings in each category will be announced together with the Recording of the Year – as well as other accolades including Artist of the Year (as voted by Gramophone magazine and website readers), Label of the Year, Young Artist of the Year and the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Between now and the ceremony we've been publishing two Podcasts a week in which we discuss the three shortlisted discs in one of the categories with one of our critics, along with musical excerpts. The latest Podcast features James Jolly and Caroline Gill discussing the shortlisted recordings in the Chamber category: Hilary Hahn and Valentina Lisitsa playing Ives sonatas (DG), Schumann Trios from Christian Tetzlaff, Tanja Tetzlaff and Leif Ove Andsnes (EMI), and Schumann String Quartets from the Doric Quartet (Chandos).
