Alisa Weilerstein and Daniel Barenboim Win Big in BBC Music Magazine Awards
BBC Music Magazine has announced its annual awards, voted on by the public and some by a jury of critics. The big winner was the cellist Alisa Weilerstein, whose recording of the Elgar and the Carter cello concertos with the Staatskapelle Berlin and Daniel Barenboim won Recording of the Year, as well as the Concerto Award Carnegie Hall's Prank On Brit Counter-Tenor Iestyn Davies
