《留聲機》雜誌年度樂團大獎
港樂榮獲《留聲機》雜誌年度管弦樂團大獎
香港管弦樂團（港樂）剛於10月在倫敦舉行被譽為「古典音樂的奧斯卡」的《留聲機》雜誌頒獎典禮中，榮獲2019年「年度管弦樂團大獎」，成為亞洲首個獲此殊榮的樂團。
《留聲機》「年度管弦樂團大獎」旨在表揚國際上音樂藝術成就卓越，並在過去一年發行重要專輯的樂團。港 樂憑藉由拿索斯唱片現場錄製的華格納《指環》整套聯篇歌劇專輯而得勝。
《留聲機》雜誌總編輯曹占士認為，2019年年度樂團大獎得主──香港管弦樂團，完美地示範了音樂總監如何啟發樂團竭盡所能，達致高峰。「由梵志登指揮、拿索斯現場灌錄的《 指環》四部曲，成就驕人，致令全球眾多樂迷投票給這支出色的亞洲樂團。《留聲機》認為港樂奏此凱歌，的確實至名歸。」
梵志登表示︰「港樂能夠成為亞洲首個獲此榮譽的樂團，締造了歷史，我們引以自豪。」港樂行政總裁霍品達（Benedikt Fohr）認為這成就「充分證明了港樂是真正世界一流的管弦樂團。」他補充說：「我為港樂整個團隊包括音樂總監梵志登、每位樂師和行政人員、出色的歌唱家、拿索斯及其製作團隊感到驕傲，我們以無比的熱忱和超卓的藝術造詣完成此龐大製作。」港樂在此特別感謝香港特別行政區政府民政事務局透過「具競逐元素的資助試驗計劃」資助《指環》四部曲。
港樂衷心感謝香港特別行政區政府、首席贊助太古集團、世界各地樂迷的支持，深信港樂的藝術使命，並為我們投下寶貴的一票。
