The brilliant performers who brought the house down in 2011, as chosen by Limelight readers.
More than 4,000 classical music lovers voted in the 2011 Limelight Awards to let us know which recitals, operas, recordings and music personalities impressed them the most this year (1 September 2010 – 1 September 2011).
