Linn at the Gramophone Awards 2008
26 September 2008
Linn Records staff and artists were well represented at this year's Classic FM Gramophone Awards. The ceremony, which was held at the Dorchester Hotel, London on 25th September, featured several Linn Records artists.
Vocal recitalist James Gilchrist was a finalist in the 'Solo Vocal' category for his recording On Wenlock Edge with the Fitzwilliam Quartet. This collection of works by Vaughan Williams, Gurney, Bliss and Warlock was highly commended upon its release. Unfortunately James lost out on winning the award, but all the critics agree this is a very fine album.
Deserved success came for Susanne Heinrich, viola da gamba player with the Palladians, who won in the Editor's Choice category for her album "Mr Abel' Fine Airs". Well done Susi!
Another Linn Records artist who contributed to the awards was Sir Charles Mackerras who was at the ceremony to award the Special Achievement Award to his friend Sir Peter Moores.
Linn Records would like to congratulate all the winners and Classic FM and Gramophone on another enjoyable ceremony.
