Marathon status

The Awards have given rise to 19 commissioned works or projects and the broadcast performances of the works of both nominees and winners are too many to enumerate.

Spokesperson Sarah Rodgers commented to 4BR: "From a standing start, we sprinted into an annual event which has become the most eagerly anticipated celebratory occasion in the classical music calendar and now as the 10th anniversary event approaches in December 2012, it clearly takes on marathon status!"
