ACCENTUS Music are proud to announce that they have won the 2012 Gramophone Award for DVD Performance of Bruckner’s Symphony No 5.

Their critically acclaimed production of Bruckner’s Symphony No 5, performed by the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA, conducted by Claudio Abbado, and directed by Michael Beyer was announced as the winner in a ceremony today in London. The concert was recorded live on 19th and 20th of August at the KKL in Lucerne in cooperation with LUCERNE FESTIVAL in summer 2011.

With reviews praising how the ‘sound is excellent, the camerawork sensitive and technically first-rate’, from Gramophone itself, as well as Classical Music Magazine urging readers to ‘simply buy it, mortgaging the cat if need be’, there is no surprise that this production has also won a prestigious a Diapason d’Or.
