Grammy Awards 2009 - Classical

rojo

(Ret)
Here are the nominations for this year. I believe winners are announced in early February. Anyone rooting for a particular work, performance or artist? Has anyone heard any of these nominees? Maybe one of you has heard the Cameron Carpenter performance?...

Interesting; a symphony up for Best Classical Contemporary Composition... and two concerti. :grin:
