In three rounds, the Jury of the International Classical Music Awards (ICMA) has chosen the releases competing in the finals for the awards 2021. The initial list with a total of 365 nominations has been reduced to three releases per category, the finalists for 2021. ICMA President Remy Franck says: « With a big number of releases nominated by over fifty percent of the jurors, we could see that the highest quality pays off and steers the jury from the beginning in a common direction. Subsequently, recordings initially selected by a great number of jury members had a brilliant track record through all rounds. One of the finalists of each category will be inducted in ICMA’s Hall of fame reuniting all the winners from the past 10 years. »
The names of the winners who will receive their trophy in Vaduz, Liechtenstein on 18 April 2021, will be published on Wednesday 20 January 2021.
