Violinist Ehnes scoops Juno Award

The disc, which also features British conductor Bramwell Tovey and the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, was named Classical Album of the Year (Large Ensemble or Soloist with Large Ensemble) at this year's Canadian awards ceremony.

It also scooped a Grammy Award and a Western Canadian Music Award earlier this year.

The 32-year-old Juilliard graduate won his first Juno Award in 2001 and in 2002 was named Young Artist of the Year at the Cannes Classical Awards.

His recording output has been prolific, with a catalogue of well over 20 discs on labels including Chandos, Telarc and Sony Classical. Highlights include his 250th anniversary double-disc of Mozart's complete works for violin and orchestra, which won last year's Juno Award.

The latest Juno-winning recording is available in North America on CBC Records and worldwide on the Onyx Classics label.
