Italian mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli has won Denmark’s Sonning Music Prize.
The award committee of the Leonie Sonning Music Foundation said Bartoli’s “sound is unique, her technique has not been surpassed and her radiation on stage is like [opera legend Maria] Callas.”
Bartoli will receive the $110,000 award during a concert in Copenhagen on June 16, 2010. Previous winners include Leonard Bernstein, Mstislav Rostropovich, Anne-Sophie Mutter and Daniel Barenboim.
