Trio Rafale wins the German Record Critics' Award
The German Record Critics' Association has awarded the Swiss piano trio Rafale one of its quarterly prizes in the chamber music category for its CD of early works.
The Rafale Trio has already won numerous international prizes. It made its debut at London's Wigmore Hall in 2014, at the Berlin Philharmonie in 2015/16 and at the Lucerne Festival in 2016. In 2016, it was also accepted into the Beethoven-Haus Bonn mentoring program.
His debut CD with works by Schumann and Ravel was released in 2012 on the monton label. A second with works by Vasks and Brahms followed in 2013 on Acousence. The CD "Early Works" was released this February by Coviello Classics.
This time, a total of 155 jurors of the German Record Critics' Award (PdSK e.V.) reviewed and evaluated the new releases of audio and video recordings of the last quarter in 32 categories. 256 titles were nominated for the longlist. 27 titles made the cut.
