Gramophone Awards 2008
I wonder if anyone has any reactions to the Gramophone Awards, which have just been announced, here are some of the winners...
Anyone got any comments? Feel anything's missing?
Also, anyone got any thoughts on Stephen Hough's Saint-Saens concertos winning the 'Gold Recording', i.e. the best overal winner in the awards' history?
