·---· The JUN Os - we've got them covered by David Olds, Editor, D/SCoveries While television ads get us all psyched up for the "best of Canadian music" on the CTV JUNO Awards special on Sunday April 6, there are a number of categories that you won't see on TV. The less than glamorous world of classical music is all but ignored in the glitzy coverage and we'll be left surfing the web or reading the fine print in newspapers the following morning to find out how our classical musicians and composers fared. WholeNote prides itself on its classical and post-classical coverage and DISCoveries is proud to note that of the 20 classical nominations, 14 have been reviewed in these pages in past issues. It is our intention to complete the cycle in our April edition, but in the interim we encourage you to visit our website (www.thewholenote.com) and revisit what our reviewers had to say about this year's crop of classical nominations. Here's the list, and where to find them: CLASSICAL ALBUM OF THE YEAR, Sow OR CHAMBER ENSEMBLE: Graupner - Partitas for Harpsichord, Genevieve Soly (Analekta): DISCoveries May 2002 Ravel: The Complete Solo Piano Music, Angela Hewitt (Hyperion): DISCoveries June 2002 Fritz Kreisler, James Ehnes (Analekta): DISCoveries November 2002 Yiddishbbuk, St. Lawrence String Quartet (EMI): DISCoveries March2003 Liszt: Paganini Studies & Schubert Transcriptions, Marc-Andre Hamelin (Hyperion): DISCoveries next issue CLASSICAL ALBUM OF THE YEAR, LARGE ENSEMBLE OR Sow1sT(s) WITH LARGE ENSEMBLE AccoMPANIMENT: The Overcoat: Music by Dmitri Shostakovich, Angela Cheng/Mario Bernardi/CBC Radio Orchestra (CBC): DISCoveries December 2001 Schumann Piano Works, Anton Kuerti/ Mario Bernardi/CBC Radio Orchestra (CBC): DISCoveries September 2002 Nocturnal Dances of Don Juan Quixote, I Musici de Montreal (Chandos): DISCoveries November 2002 A Baroque Feast, Tafelmusik (Analekta): DISCoveries December 2002 (stocking stuffers) Bruch: Concertos Vol.II, James Ehnes/ Mario Bernardi/OSM ,----, (CBC): DISCoveries next issue CLASSICAL ALBUM OF THE YEAR, VOCAL OR CHORAL PERFORMANCE: Margison Sings Verdi, Richard Margison/ Richard Bradshaw/COC Orchestra (CBC): DISCoveries April 2002 Ay Que Si!, Suzie LeBlanc/Les Voix Humaines (ATMA): DISCoveries November 2002 Mozart Requiem, Les Violons du Roy (Dorian): DISCoveries November 2002 Of Ladies and Love, Michael Schade (Hyperion): DISCoveries next issue Bach Cantatas, Daniel Taylor/Theatre of Early Music (ATMA) DISCoveries next issue CLASSICAL COMPOSITION OF THE YEAR: Requiem for a Charred Skull, Bramwell Tovey (Voices on High - Opening Day): DISCoveries July 2002 Orbiting Garden, Christos Hatzis (Orbiting Garden - Centrediscs): DISCoveries November 2002 Music for a Thousand Autums, Alexina Louie (Music for a Thousand Autumns - Centrediscs): DISCoveries November 2002 Concerto for Cello, Heather Schmidt (This is the Colour of My Dreams - CBC): DISCoveries next issue Test Run, John Estacio, (7'h Banff Internat'l String Quartet Competition - BanffCentre): DISCoveries next issue www.thewholenote.com
