The Limelight Awards were an annual celebration of the performances, recordings and music personalities in Australian classical music.〔()〕 Sponsored by the monthly classical arts magazine ''Limelight'', they were the only publicly voted awards of their kind in Australia. In 2012 the awards attracted more than 4,500 votes.〔()〕 The Limelight Award winners are voted on from a shortlist of entries selected by an expert panel of ''Limelight'' critics and ABC Classic FM staff over ten categories. These categories included Music Personality of the Year, Best Newcomer and Best Orchestral, Chamber and Solo performances. From this shortlist the public were then invited to select and vote for their favourite musicians. The Limelight Awards were distinctly unique, being the only classical music awards in Australia where the public are invited to help recognise well-loved musicians.〔()〕 ==Award winners== 2012 *Music Personality of the Year: Simone Young, conductor *Best Orchestral Concert: Australian Chamber Orchestra, Beethoven: Symphony No 9; Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage; Brahms: Geistliches Lied; Messiaen: Prayer of Christ ascending towards his Father *Best Chamber Music Concert: Australian String Quartet/Brett Dean, Legacy *Best Solo Performance: Anne-Sophie Mutter, Beethoven Violin Concerto *Best Opera Production: ''La traviata'', Opera Australia *Best Performance in an Opera: Emma Matthews, Violetta in ''La traviata'' *Best Classical Recording: Sydney Symphony Orchestra / Vladimir Ashkenazy, SSO Live 201201 *Best New Composition: Elena Kats-Chernin, Symphonia Eluvium *Best Event/Festival: Australian Festival of Chamber Music *Best Newcomer: Emily Sun, violinist 2011 *Music Personality of the year: Vladimir Ashkenazy *Best Orchestral Concert: Simone Young *Best Opera Production: ''Der Rosenkavalier'', Opera Australia *Best Chamber Music Concert: Synergy Percussion, Xenakis Pleiades *Best Performance in an Opera: Teddy Tahu Rhodes, Figaro in ''The Marriage of Figaro'' *Best Solo Performance: Fiona Campbell *Best World Music Recording: Band of Brothers *Best Classical Recording: Mozart Violin Concertos Vol. 2, ACO/Richard Tognetti (BIS) *Best Jazz Recording: Idea of North, Extraordinary Tale (ABC Classics) *Best Event/Festival: Musica Viva Festival *Best New Composition: Nigel Westlake, ''Missa Solis: Requiem for Eli'' *Best Newcomer: Zane Banks 2010 *Limelight Readers’ Choice: Emma Matthews (soprano) *Music Personality of the year: Richard Tognetti *Best Orchestral Concert: Australian Chamber Orchestra/Richard Tognetti, Schumann cello concerto; Beethoven symphony no 5; Vasks: Vox Amoris; Mozart: Symphony No 41 Jupiter *Best Opera Production: Bliss (Opera Australia) *Best Chamber Music Concert: Australian Chamber Orchestra and Patricia Kopatchinskaja, The Barefoot Fiddler. *Best Performance in an Opera: Teddy Tahu Rhodes, Figaro in ''The Marriage of Figaro'' *Best Solo Performance: Paul Lewis (Piano) Musica Viva *Best World Music Recording: Band of Brothers *Best Classical Recording: Handel: Concerti Grossi Op. 6, Australian Brandenburg Orchestra/Paul Dyer (ABC Classics) *Best Jazz Recording: James Oehlers and Paul Grabowsky, On a Clear Day (Head Records) *Best Event/Festival: Musica Viva Festival *Best New Composition: Bliss.
