This year's Awards were a joyous gathering for the classical music industry, complete with stunning performances and great speeches. Here are some pictures from a very happy evening
There were some mighty fine speeches, too. Operatic tenor Wynne Evans was on superb form (and yes, he did give us a quick 'Go Compare' rendition), while Radio 3 presenter and Chineke! bassoonist Linton Stephens won the award for most tactile garment by a country mile.
Here are some pictures and film from a brilliant evening.
