Heldentenor Simon O’Neill has been announced Best Classical Artist for 2019, at the Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards in Auckland, following his debut album for Decca, Distant Beloved,<\/em> with pianist Terence Dennis. Australian audiences will be familiar with O’Neill after his performances as Otello and as Sergei (in Lady Macbeth of Mtensk<\/em>) for Opera Australia.<\/p>\n

The New Zealander lieder by Beethoven, Schumann, Richard Strauss and Wagner \u2013 works which possess special meaning for the highly coveted international artist.<\/p>\n

From Heathrow airport in London, O’Neill sent a message of gratitude: “Last night I performed Beethoven\u2019s Symphony No.9 in Prague to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Velvet Revolution as Czechoslovakia was opened to Western Europe. To wake up this morning to the splendid news that our Decca \u2018Distant Beloved\u2019 recording won Best Classical at the Vodafone NZ Music Awards was simply wonderful.”<\/p>\n
