RTE reports that Paul McCartney has won the Best Album award at the Classical Brit Awards for his fourth classical album ‘Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart)‘.Other artists competing in the same category included Sting, Katherine Jenkins, Alfie Boe and Bryn Terfel. The award – the only one to be decided by public vote – was voted for by listeners of Britain’s Classic FM radio and readers of Classic FM’s magazine.
He began writing ‘Ecce Cor Meum’ in 1997 but put the project on hold after the death of his first wife Linda the following year. It was finally premiered at the Royal Albert Hall last November and recorded last year at Abbey Road Studios in London.
