“This Gold Disc Award is a landmark in Gramophone's history. It salutes the best of the best since 1978 and consolidates both critical and public opinion. We're delighted to see the award going to an imaginative and consistent artist like Stephen Hough, performing repertoire that lies just outside the mainstream.”
