The Delaware Symphony Orchestra’s CD, The Book of Signs, was
nominated as one of five Best Classical Album entries for the 19th
Annual Latin Grammy Awards. The album, the DSO’s premiere recording on
the Naxos label, features Music Director David Amado and the DSO with
the Brasil Guitar Duo performing Cuban composer Leo Brouwer’s “The Book
of Signs” and “Concerto Caboclo” by Brazilian composer Paulo Bellinati.
“What an honor it is to have had our recording selected, from among
so many, for Best Classical Album,” said Amado. “What is remarkable to
me about this is that it celebrates not only the high quality of
music-making on the disc, but also the importance of new music. I am
very proud of the DSO, the Brasil Guitar Duo, and the whole team
involved in its creation. We’ve made something really special, and it
is an honor to have that recognized in such a visible, global way.”
