The Echo Klassik, often stylized as ECHO Klassik, was Germany's major classical music award in 22 categories.[1] The award, presented by the Deutsche Phono-Akademie [de], was held annually, usually in October or September, separate from its parent award, the Echo Music Prize. The Echo Klassik was disestablished in 2018,[2] and replaced by the Opus Klassik [de].[3]
