Banff Centre Recording up for JUNO Award
A recording produced at The Banff Centre has been nominated for a 2004 JUNO
Award. The Gryphon Trio’s Canadian Premieres is nominated in the classical album
of the year category. The album was recorded in June 2002 in the Rolston Recital
Hall at The Banff Centre and was produced and engineered by Theresa Leonard, the
Centre’s director of audio.
Canadian Premieres is dedicated to Isobel Moore Rolston, artistic
director/executive producer of Music & Sound, and Tom Rolston, director of
Summer Music Programs. The assistant engineer was Mireille Faure, with digital
editing by Faure and David Houston. The recording features Canadian works
commissioned for the Gryphon Trio including “Give Me Phoenix Wings to Fly” by
Kelly-Marie Murphy, “and the masks evoke…” by Chan Ka Nin, “Trio no.2” by Gary
Kulesha, and “Old Photographs” by Christos Hatzis.
Canadian Premieres was recorded and produced with assistance from The Canada
Council for the Arts. The recording is available from Analekta, Canada’s largest
classical recording label.
Nominations for the 33rd annual JUNO awards were announced earlier this week.
The 2004 JUNO awards will be broadcast on April 4.
