Congratulations to our artists who have won awards at the ICMA 2024 Congratulations to all artists who were nominated

The Jury of the International Classical Music Awards (ICMA) has announced the winners of the 2024 edition, honouring Paavo Järvi and Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich with the Best Symphonic Prize for their recording of Bruckner’s Symphony No.8 on Alpha Classics.

Revealing this year’s winners, ICMA wrote ​“To commemorate the bicentenary of Anton Bruckner’s birth, Paavo Järvi, conducting ​‘his’ Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, has produced one of most idiomatic Brucknerian readings of recent years, one that combines luminosity and transparency with the specific gravity we have come to expect from this great symphonic cathedral, and deservedly winning the award for the best symphonic recording of the year.”

Christian Tetzlaff​’s album Schubert: Piano Trios, Notturno, Rondo, Arpeggione Sonata on Ondine won the Chamber Music category.

Of the album, ICMA said: ​“Hardly anyone else has looked deeper into the unbelievable abysses of Schubert’s late chamber music masterpieces than Christian Tetzlaff, Tanja Tetzlaff and Lars Vogt. This is Christian’s last trio recording with Vogt and listening to the way he explores Schubert’s music with an almost shy subtlety and makes it resound, often even blossom joyfully, one can only marvel.”
