The success of a new CD from the University of Chichester’s Head of Keyboard has been underlined by being awarded the prestigious German Record Critics Award.
The award for international concert pianist Jonathan Plowright is the most important CD award in Germany and is the latest in a long list of accolades given to his ‘Hommage a Chopin’, released to commemorate the 200th anniversary year of the birth of Chopin.
It was Gramophone Editor’s Choice in the UK and received the equivalent honour in the French music magazine Diapason. It was also Classic FM CD of the Week in the UK and on Australia’s ABC Classic FM. In the specialist music press and daily newspapers, the CD received five star reviews.
Jonathan’s next CD is to be released in September by Hyperion Records and will feature pieces by JS Bach transcribed for piano by English composers.
Copies of the Chopin album are available by visiting the Hyperion Records website at http://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/. Further information about Jonathan can be found on his website http://www.jonathanplowright.com/
