They are being run slightly differently this time, in that the category winners have actually been announced a month before the ceremony itself. These winners are all detailed on the back page (available at special prices) and it will be exciting to see which one is finally announced as Record of the Year on 17th September. It is one of the few classical awards that really does affect sales in a big way for the lucky winner, so good luck to all those included! Now that summer is nearly over, we are pleased to be able to present you with a real bumper crop of new releases this month. We have actually managed to fill p.2-4 with our ‘Priority Releases’, and even so, still had to make some tough decisions with what not to include. Highlights include the new Verdi album from Pappano (Warner, previously EMI), a brilliant recital entitled ‘Arias for Caffarelli’ (Naive) and the latest Wagner from Gergiev (Mariinsky) in the form of Das Rheingold (perhaps a little less divisive than the earlier Die Walkure recording). Bargain boxes include a wonderful Berlin Phil set from DG celebrating a 100 year relationship with the label, a very limited Baroque Opera set from Harmonia Mundi and some mouthwatering ‘complete’ sets from Sony, featuring Reiner, Graffman and Horowitz. Large catalogue special offers this month include Naive (well worth exploring and a little under-rated, we feel), Berlin Classics and Profil. Smaller catalogues include LSO Live, Mariinsky, Fuga Libera, Stone Records, Toccata and Phi. We have also put together a ‘DVD Mini Sale’ that includes over 100 titles from smaller companies that perhaps don’t receive as much exposure as the large DVD producers. Look out for a ‘maxi’ sale later in the year! Best regards as always from, The Europadisc Team DON’T FORGET - UK Carriage is FREE over £35! Gramophone Award Winners - special prices available on all! Below are the category winners for the 2013 Gramophone Awards. The awards are being announced in a slightly different fashion this year, with the category winners being revealed in advance of the awards ceremony on 17th September. At the ceremony itself, the Recording of the Year will be revealed, along with Artist of the Year, Young Artist of the Year, Lifetime Achievement, Special Achievement and Label of the Year.
