Gramophone Awards 2010

The Gramophone Awards 2010 have now been announced!

From the thousands of CDs and DVDs released over the past 12 months, Gramophone’s panel of critics selected the winners in each of the 16 categories, from which a smaller panel of critics then chose the Recording of the Year: “Infelix Ego”, the 13th (and final) volume of the Byrd Edition, performed by the British vocal ensemble The Cardinall’s Musick under Andrew Carwood, on Hyperion.
