Olga Kopylova, Yuriy Rakevich, and Claudio Cruz receive the Play de Prata (Silver Play) Award:

On Tuesday (April 30, 2024), we had the pleasure of celebrating a truly special moment at an exclusive event with our partners and talented artists. The occasion was marked by the achievement of the “Play de Prata” (“Silver Play”) certification granted by the Brazilian Independent Music Association (ABMI), recognizing the over 4 million streams earned by the talented Olga Kopylova, Yuriy Rakevich e Claudio Cruz.

Gaining more listeners and admirers worldwide, Olga Kopylova has amassed 19.6 million streams, Yuriy Rakevich 6.6 million, and Claudio Cruz 19.3 million on digital platforms. These numbers reflect the unique work of the record label, in harmony with each artist’s beautiful repertoire, dedication, and lifelong studies.

This unprecedented milestone in the Brazilian classical music scene fills us all with pride. The event celebrated not just the success achieved, but also the commitment and love for music.

Important figures from the music world attended, providing moving and inspiring moments.

During the speech, President Corciolli, accompanied by members of Azul Music – Bárbara Leu, Lucas Batimarchi, and Giovanna Dattola – paid well-deserved tributes to the award-winning artists and our valuable partners.

We especially highlight the 20-year partnership with Adonias Souza Jr. of Arsis Studio, as well as the commitment and contributions of Sylvia Medeiros and Priscilla Maturo, representatives of The Orchard. Together, they’ve played a crucial role in the music scene, promoting the art exceptionally.

We hardly had time to celebrate this great achievement before being ready to mark new milestones. Here’s a small teaser: more certificates are on their way!

We want to express special gratitude to all who joined us in this moment of celebration.
