It has been a big month for many of our labels on The Classical Shop, not least the Hallé label which scooped the BBC Music magazine’s Recording of the Year Award on Tuesday 9 April for their landmark recording of Elgar’s oratorio The Apostles (HL 7534). Among the many other winners at the Awards we find, in the Instrumental Category, Vol. 2 in Janina Fialkowska’s series of works for piano by Chopin on ATMA Classique (TM 2666), and in the Chamber Category, BIS Records took home the award for Trio Zimmermann’s recording of Beethoven’s String Trios, Op. 9 Nos 1 – 3 (BI 1857). The Early Opera Company and Christian Curnyn were the well-deserved winners in the Opera Category for their recording of Handel’s Alceste (CHAN 0788), and, last but not least, the Award for Technical Excellence in Recording went to Pentatone Classics for its recording of Wagner’s Parsifal (PT 6401), performed by the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus under Marek Janowski, ‘unquestionably the finest modern version on disc’.
