| CBC Records receives six JUNO nominations CBC Records continued its remarkable history in the JUNO competition with six of its recordings being nominated. It is hoped these nominations will lead to full-fledged Juno Awards being handed out in Halifax on April 2. CBC Records, CBC/Radio-Canada's record label, has won a total number of 25 JUNOs since 1984. "The JUNO Awards recognize the best in Canadian musical talent and CBC/Radio-Canada is proud of the role it plays in supporting and promoting Canadian artists, " said René Bourdages, President, CBC/Radio-Canada Merchandising Division. "CBC Records is the one of the premier supplier to Canadians of albums featuring some of the country's finest musicians across all genres." The six JUNO nominations picked up by CBC Records are in the classical and jazz categories. Three nominations are in the category BEST CLASSICAL COMPOSITION, including Chan Ka Nin's Our Finest Hour, Brian Cherney's Illuminations and Robert Turner's Symphony for Strings. Two nominations are in the category BEST VOCAL / CHORAL RECORDING and both artists already enjoy JUNO Awards from previous CBC Records releases. Russell Braun's Dei Winterreise and Michael Schade's Die schone Mullerin received the nominations. The final nomination is in the category BEST TRADITIONAL JAZZ RECORDING for Don Thompson's Ask Me Later. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
