The Grammys are the music industry’s most prestigious awards. At various times, both Vladimir Horowitz and Stevie Wonder took home Grammys. Let’s revisit the Russian recipients of the award, who achieved a milestone that only a chosen few have accomplished.
Jazz artists include Moses Boyd and the Comet is Coming, while the experimental end of British indie is represented by Black Midi, Nadine Shah and Black Country, New Road. Chart-topping Scottish band the Snuts will have a near-homecoming, and African performers Fatoumata Diawara and Ballaké Sissoko will also appear.
Opera productions include Richard Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos with soprano Dorothea Röschmann in the title role; Dido’s Ghost, a continuation of the Dido and Aeneas story by composer Errollyn Wallen, who will weave new material through Purcell’s original, and featuring South African soprano Golda Schultz, while Scottish Opera will stage a David McVicar-directed production of Verdi’s Falstaff. Another star soprano, Danielle de Niese, will lead the cast of A Grand Night for Singing, a revue of songs from Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals.
