With the announcement of the winners of this year’s Midem Classical Awards – held as usual during the record industry’s annual trade fair in Cannes – just two weeks away, we can reveal the discs in contention. Nominations were submitted by 127 different record companies in 23 different countries. These were then auditioned by a jury comprising editors, executives and producers from an international group of magazines, radio stations and musical organisations. Gramophone is part of this jury which also includes Classic Radio (Finland), Crescendo (Belgium), Fono Forum (Germany), Gramofon (Hungary), IAMA (UK), IMZ (Austria), Klassik.com (Germany), MDR Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk (Germany), Musica (Italy), Musik & Theater (Switzerland), ORF (Ustria), Pizzicato (Luxemburg), Radio Classique (France) and Scherzo (Spain).
Awards that have been “pre-announced” include the two Artists of the Year. The violinist Julia Fischer receives the Instrumental award and countertenor Philippe Jaroussky the Vocal counterpart. A Lifetime Achievement Award is being made to the great Italian tenor Carlo Bergonzi and the Label of the Year goes to Sony Masterworks. The MCA 2009 will be presented in the Théâtre Debussy in the Palais in Cannes on Tuesday, January 20 and will be hosted by the French pianist Lise de la Salle and Gramophone’s editor-in-chief, James Jolly.
