Victoires de la musique classique explained

The Victoires de la musique classique (in French viktwar də la myzik klasik/; English: "Victories of Classical Music") are an annual French classical music award event founded in 1986. The awards are the classical equivalent of the popular music awards Victoires de la Musique and the Victoires du Jazz.[1] Most of the awards are for actual performers, orchestras, composers, etc. as opposed to the Diapason d'Or given to recordings, though there is an Enregistrement français de musique classique de l'année (English: "French Classical Music Recording of the Year").
