This evening’s Gramophone Classical Music Awards ceremony will live long in the memory for many reasons, not least for the astounding display of virtuosity of this year’s Young Artist of the Year, the pianist Joseph Moog, who performed The Symphonic Metamorphosis on Themes from Johann Strauss II’s ‘Die Fledermaus’ by Leopold Godowsky and, upon collecting his prize said: ‘It’s a great honour for me to receive this prestigious award and to be around this enormous amount of talent and artistry here tonight.’
