Overview
- Dueñas received Best Young Artist and Best Recording honors for her album Paganini: 24 caprichos at the Gramophone Awards in London on October 15.
- Gramophone praised her Paganini readings as dazzling, noting luminous, golden‑toned technique and the pleasures of the companion disc repertoire.
- Accepting the awards, she called it a great pleasure and an honor and described the album as a work of meditation shaped by many hours in the studio.
- The recognition follows a rapid rise that includes the 2025 Princess of Girona Arts Prize, a 2021 Yehudi Menuhin victory, and formative studies in Dresden and Vienna with Boris Kuschnir.
- Elsewhere at the ceremony, Sir Simon Rattle earned Artist of the Year for a second time, and Raphaël Pichon’s team won Recording of the Year for Bach’s Mass in B minor.
