Bryn Terfel was awarded his second Grammy at the 49th Grammy Awards ceremony.
Though unable to attend the ceremony in Los Angeles, Welsh baritone Bryn Terfel nevertheless celebrated the recognition his album Simple Gifts received in this year's Grammy Awards. Terfel's second album to win a Grammy, Simple Gifts features the works of several composers (including Mozart, Pergolesi, Sondheim and a duet by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins) as well as the talents of various performers from the classical music world, including guitarist John Williams.
Terfel's specialty is Mozart, but he has also performed roles from Wagner (Tannhäuser ) and Stravinsky (The Rake's Progress). In 2006, he received the Queen's Medal for Music.
