The Cantelli Award (Italian: Premio Guido Cantelli) recognizes excellence in conducting. The prize was first awarded on October 3, 1961. The awards were hosted at the Teatro Coccia, in Novara, where also all the other editions were hosted. The prestigious prize was won, among others, by Ádám Fischer, Lothar Zagrosek, and Riccardo Muti, who was the first Italian to win the prize.[1][2] Many winners of the prize went on to become prominent conductors.[3]
The award was created in honour of Guido Cantelli, a noted Italian conductor, Italy's greatest talent in conducting in his time, and a protégée of Arturo Toscanini. On November 23, 1958, Cantelli, who by then had become director of La Scala and was performing in the world's greatest theaters and orchestra, died in an airplane clash in Paris, France. Five years later, the Premio Cantelli was established in Novara―the place of birth of the maestro, and where he held his last concert.
This competition, which was won by numerous world famous conductors, ran until 1980. There were a total of 10 editions between 1961 and 1980. In 2020, after a long pause, the awards were revived in occasion of the centenary of the great conductor's birth, with the Cantelli Award celebrating its eleventh edition.
