Music Academy Basel is pleased about echoes
This year, some of the German Echo Klassik Awards go to Sol Gabetta, Rainer Schmidt and Christophe Coin - and thus to two lecturers at the FHNW Academy of Music and one lecturer at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis.
Sol Gabetta - who studied in Basel and now teaches at the Hochschule für Musik - receives the "Instrumentalist of the Year" award. Christophe Coin, lecturer at the Schola, and the orchestra le Phénix are honored in the category best concert recording of the year for music up to and including the 18th century.
Rainer Schmidt, lecturer at the FHNW Academy of Music and member of the Hagen Quartet, is honored for the best chamber music recording for strings up to and including the 18th century.
Every year, the Deutsche Phono-Akademie honors popular musicians with the Echo Klassik music award. This year, the prize will be awarded on October 9 at the Konzerthaus Berlin.
