The results are in, and the medal winners have been selected!
We asked our listeners to vote for their favorite music this month as part of our inaugural Classical Winter Games. Hundreds of people responded -- and told us which pieces deserved to win this set of eight unique musical competitions.
Listeners picked the most sweeping Olympic fanfare, the fastest music in honor of speed skating and the most stunning figure-skating music. We'll salute the winners in a daylong "medal ceremony" on CPR Classical this Friday.
See which pieces earned a medal in each category, and relive the music from our Classical Winter Games with the Spotify playlist at the bottom of this post.
