The recording Songs of Fate with Anna Lucia Richter and the Gürzenich Orchestra conducted by Jordan de Souza (Myrios Classics) has been nominated for the BBC Music Magazine Award 2026 in the Vocal Prize category.

»Anna Lucia Richter lends this highly acclaimed recording of Mahler's Des Knaben Wunderhorn and Kindertotenlieder – the »Recording of the Month« at Christmas – an impressive expressiveness and a special intimacy, filling these works with both naturalness and artistic sophistication. Beautifully accompanied by the Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne under the baton of Jordan de Souza, her performance seems »to come from another dimension«, according to the jury.

The BBC Music Magazine Award is one of the most prestigious awards in the field of classical music and annually honours outstanding artistic achievements on an international level.
