The jury, consisting of members of the classical media from 17 different countries, writes:

 

"In this Janáček programme, Lars Vogt expresses the intimacy of the music very sensitively. This subtle atmosphere is created because Vogt, like the great Ivan Moravec before him, is a singer at the piano, combining tension with naturalness, and turns accents into nuanced, music-inherent developments, unobtrusive throughout in the character of an improvisational reflection."

 

Lars Vogt's same solo album also won the German OPUS Klassik award.
