We have of course met Roth a number of times on Classical Explorer: Bruckner's

Third Symphony, Mahler's Fourth Symphony, and a live Proms
performance of Ligeti and Mozart all spring to mind.

The RPS Awards were hosted by BBC Radio 3 presenters Elizabeth
Alker and Linton Stephens, with trophies presented by RPS Chairman John

Gilhooly who says ‘Too often this year, the story of classical music has been one of

funding cuts and shrinking provision. Tonight we present a true picture of classical
music’s quality, impact and radiance across the UK. This year’s RPS Awards winners are

representative of music-makers nationwide, who – in challenging times – keep giving
the very best of themselves for the benefit of others. We are proud to shine a light on
their achievements, and hope it leads to greater recognition and pride for all that they

collectively do.’

The RPS Awards unite many partners from the UK’s classical music community. The RPS
is especially grateful to this year’s Principal Supporters – BBC Radio
3, ABRSM, Lark Music, PRS for Music, Yamaha, and BBC Music

Magazine – and those who support individual awards as detailed
below. Longstanding Awards partner BBC Radio 3 will broadcast a special RPS

Awards programme at 7:30pm on Wednesday 6 March, and available for a
further month on BBC Sounds, giving audiences the opportunity to hear more music

from this year’s winners. A film of the RPS Awards presentation will be freely available
to watch for one month on the RPS website from Tuesday 12 March.
