The

ECHO Klassik. The last but one album of the complete edition of
Beethoven's string quartets won in the category
Chamber Music Recording (19th century music / String Player). The
award ceremony will take place on
October 29th 2017 in the
Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg. The
gala will be broadcast on

The
ECHO Klassik is awarded by the
German Phono Academy (Deutsche Phono-Akademie), the cultural institute of the Federal Music Industry Association (Bundesverband Musikindustrie, BVMI). The
jury consists of branch representatives from
music industry, cultural sector and
specialized press. Alongside the recognition of special productions and the support of young talents a further goal of the ECHO Klassik is to bring the fascination and diversity of classical music to a broad audience. Notably the
television transmission provides a
strong public platform for classical music and supports the publicity of the ECHO Klassik.
We congratulate the Quartetto di Cremona to the award as well as to their outstanding Beethoven cycle and enjoy this popular award with them!
