This is your chance to have a say in the UK’s biggest classical music awards. Over the next few pages, you’ll see details of 21 nominations over seven categories, selected by our jury of BBC Music Magazine critics from almost 300 five-star recordings reviewed during 2011.

And now we need you to cast your all-important votes.

To help you make your choices, listen to extracts from each recording or DVD. Then vote for the ones you think should win a coveted BBC Music Magazine Award in April.

Once you've voted in all seven categories you’ll be eligible to win some great prizes. Don’t forget to vote in all categories.

One 1st prize winner will receive a brand new limited edition Kemble Centennial piano worth £7,000 PLUS all nominated CDs and DVDs.
One 2nd prize winner will receive a Yamaha MCR-555 hi-fi worth £380 PLUS all nominated CDs and DVDs.
And four runners-up will each receive a copy of all nominated CDs and DVDs.

Voting ends 29 February 2012.
