Winner: Resurrection (Prof David King)

2. Magical Memories for Trumpet and Organ (Tine Thing Helseth)
3. Matryoshka (Ross Dunne)

David King's long awaited CD, described as "a remarkable display of opaque, self-contained artistry"by 4BR Editor Iwan Fox, was the overwhelming winner of a category that this year contained a number of outstanding releases from performers.

'Resurrection' gained 11 first choice preferences from our international panel of critics to deservedly give the Australian the accolade.

Time Thing Helseth's very personal release was runner-up, claiming three first choice preferences, whilst the hugely impressive debut release from Tredegar tenor horn star Ross Dunne, which also gained three first choices preference votes, was third.

There were also first preference choices for the A4 Quartet, whilst no fewer than eight of then nominations gained a top three vote from the judges.
