PHOENIX gained a nomination to the prestigious ICMA 2022 awards in the best CONCERTO category!!!

I am very pleased that Zeit Magazin devoted a few pages publishing a wonderful article written by the fantastic Carolin Pirich about Ludomir Różycki. It allows thousands of people to find out about the reconstructed concert, life story of Ludomir and the PHOENIX album with Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Grzegorz Nowak and Warner Classics.

“When you listen to it for the first time, the violin concerto sounds like the gardens in which it was probably created, idyllically, in the abundance of life. A single solo voice stands above the orchestra, but also agrees with it again and again. From time to time the timpani rumble, sometimes the drums in the background. Like a thunderstorm. Or a weapon of war. Only at the end does the violin emerge again. Then the music just stops. A few final chords, bam, bam, done.“

I am grateful to Carolin for the insight, authenticity and thorough investigation. Getting to the sources and telling this story to the world. 😍🌏 Thank you! 🙏

– READ THE ARTICLE

In the association »Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik« (German Record Critics’ Award; abbreviated: PdSK), Music critics and journalists from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland regularly come together to honor outstanding music and spoken word productions. Made up of a maximum of 160 jurors, the PdSK places great importance on reaching independent judgments, unaffected by the interests of recording or audiobook producers.

The jurors of the PdSK sift through and check all new publications quarter by quarter. Each panel of experts consists of up of five jurors. With currently 32 specialist juries, the entire, diverse spectrum of genres is covered, from symphonic music to opera to harpsichord music and spoken word, from jazz to folklore and heavy metal to rock and hip-hop. The jurors publish Quarterly Critic’s Choices, and once a year award Annual Awards and Honorary Awards to artists and producers at public events, and the »Nachtigall«, the highest artistic distinction, at irregular intervals. All award winners, from the Quarterly Critic’s Choice titles to the »Nachtigall«, are entitled to use the »German Record Critics’ Award« seal of approval as a sticker.

Album PHOENIX is listed on the Long List 3/2021 in category: Concertos. Fingers crossed!
