The award, made in London today, is intended for a living artist whose ‘unique lifetime achievement contribution has enriched the human condition.’
Elton Johnm said: ‘After spending decades admiring the virtuosity of Glenn Gould’s work, I am awestruck and honoured to receive this award.’
The jury was chaired by a former Canadian prime minister.
Remind me: when was the last time a classical artist received an award named for a rock star?
