Welcome to the 2024 BBC Music Magazine Awards
The nominated recordings for the 2024 Chamber Award are listed below.
The nominees for the 2024 Chamber Award
Schubert
Piano Trios Nos 1 & 2; Notturno, D897; Rondo, D895; Arpeggione Sonata, D821
Christian Tetzlaff (violin), Tanja Tetzlaff (cello), Lars Vogt (piano)
Ondine ODE 1394-2D
This treasurable collection of Schubert piano trios would be memorable in its own right thanks to the very fine recording quality and effervescent performances by the Tetzlaffs on violin and cello. It was, though, one of the late Lars Vogt’s final recordings and he was in radiant form here.
Beethoven
Late String Quartets
Calidore Quartet
Signum Classics SIGCD733
This first volume of Beethoven quartets from the New York-based Calidores takes in the composer’s life-affirming late set, and it was delivered here with great precision, clarity and meticulous attention to detail. ‘The Calidore players penetrate right to the heart of the music, giving warm and intensely lyrical accounts,’ said our original review.
JS Bach
The Well-Tempered Consort III
Phantasm
Linn Records CKD708
‘This is a truly outstanding album, which rewards the listener with profound aural pleasure.’ So said the original review of Phantasm’s album, the third and final in its memorable survey of Bach’s keyboard works, reimagined for viol consort by Laurence Dreyfus. The result was ‘sumptuous and revelatory’.
