May 23rd, 2012

Jaap van Zweden is the winner of the prestigious award Edison Klassiek in the category Opera! Van Zweden and the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra won the Edison for Parsifal.

The judges are unanimous:
"The live recording of Parsifal, released by Challenge, show again how much Van Zweden is available to play Wagner with maximum excitment, adventure and richness. He shows he is able to unfold the 4 hour opera."

The award will be handed out on the Edison Klassiek Gala on June 15. The gala will be broadcasted by the AVRO on Nederland 2.
