In the 2023 OPUS KLASSIK awards, Jakub Hrůša has received the prestigious title of Conductor of the Year, recognizing his exceptional achievement for his recording of Hans Rott’s Symphony No. 1 with the Bamberg Symphony, released by Deutsche Grammophon.

BBC Music Magazine writes, “Since [the symphony’s] disinterring in 1989, there have been some fine recordings, but surely none more persuasive than this. Jakub Hrůša plainly loves the score and strives to characterise its every detail, drawing lovely playing from the Bamberg Symphony.”

Winners of the prestigious German award are selected by a specialist jury whose members represent the music and media industries.

 

You may listen to the recording at the official pages of the recording company Deutsche grammophon.

 

Sincere congratulations.
