“Andreas Scholl lends his still extremely agile voice to the Blessed Virgin Mary and effortlessly manages to project an essential purity. With the appropriate modesty, he sings the cantatas from baroque Italy: with gripping drama and melancholy in Porpora, with great sympathy in Vivaldi’s Stabat Mater. A central role is played by the virtuoso violin of Alessandro Tampieri, who leads the Accademia Bizantina as its concertmaster.”
The winners receive the ICMA trophies during the annual Award Ceremony that will take place at the Tonhalle in Düsseldorf, on 19 March 2025. This evening will also include a Gala Concert with the participation of several of the winners and the Düsseldorfer Symphoniker conducted by Adam Fischer.
