Augustin Hadelich, a violinist known for his mastery of a diverse solo repertoire, on Tuesday won the inaugural Warner Music Prize aimed at promoting young classical musicians. The Warner Music Prize, announced last year with backing of the Warner label, comes with $100,000 for an artist between 18 and 35 recognized as an emerging talent. The 31-year-old violinist, described in a release by the Warner Music Prize as "one of the top violin soloists of his generation," has proven himself to be an expressive interpreter of an array of work ranging from Bach and Beethoven to contemporary fare by British composer Thomas Ades.
