A recording of piano music by the esoteric Scotsman Ronald Stevenson was last night awarded Classical Record of the Year at Grammis 2025, the Swedish record industry’s annual bash.

Stevenson, who died ten years ago today, is barely known beyond his native land. (I wonder if Scots media will pick this up).
