No award for only weak new productions, honors for David Oistrach in the historical category and a Special Award for the Concertgebouw’s DVD box with the Mahler Symphonies conducted by several conductors. This is the result of the Mahler Awards 2013 in Toblach (Dobbiaco, Italy). The Mahler Award ‘Toblacher Komponierhäuschen’ exists since 1991 in Toblach, where the composer spent his holidays from 1908 to his death. ICMA Jury President Remy Franck took part in the Mahler Jury, together with Lothar Brandt, Zurich, Thomas Schulz, Munich, Götz Thieme, Stuttgart, and Chairman Attila Csampai, Munich.
