Two nominations for Rayfield Artists for the 2008 Gramophone Award nominations

Robin Blaze and the Fitzwilliam String Quartet are performers on two CDs that have reached the finals of the highly prestigious Gramophone Awards 2008. Robin Blaze’s “heart-stopping” (The Gramophone) contribution to the Bach Collegium Japan/Masaaki Suzuki Bach Mass in B minor has been nominated in the Baroque Vocal section, and can be heard on the BIS label (BIS-SACD1701/2). Winner of the first ever Gramophone Chamber Music Award, The Fitzwilliam String Quartet with Anna Tilbrook accompanies James Gilchrist in a “wonderfully imaginative account of Vaughan Williams On Wenlock Edge and The Curlew” (The Gramophone), nominated in the Solo Vocal category. This superb recording on the Linn Records label (CDK 296) has received rave reviews from national and international press.
