Talk:Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Classical

Comment
Our Grammy pages are set up to list awards for the year they were presented in. Grammy.com lists them for the year they were presented for. The relevant records from grammy.com are:

Award presented in 1989: GRAMMY Winner Jack Renner,engineer. Robert Shaw,artist. Vienna Philharmonic,orchestra. Genre Engineer GRAMMY Category Best Engineered Recording, Classical Year 1988 - 31st Annual GRAMMY Awards Title of the Work Verdi: Requiem & Operatic Choruses Artist Performing Work Robert Shaw, conductor Award presented in 1988: GRAMMY Winner Jack Renner,engineer. Robert Shaw,artist. Atlanta Symphony Orchestra,orchestra. Genre Engineer GRAMMY Category Best Engineered Recording - Classical Year 1987 - 30th Annual GRAMMY Awards Title of the Work Faure: Requiem/Durufle: Requiem Artist Performing Work Robert Shaw, conductor

So same engineer and conductor, different orchestra and work. Vienna Philharmonic is correct for 1989.

 * I believe that's an error. According to telarc.com (they should know), the orchestra is Atlanta. Mirror Vax 12:49, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Also, the same recording won 'best album', so that's another thing to check. Mirror Vax 12:58, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Interesting... it does looks as Grammy.com have made a mistake. I'm sorry, I tend to assume that they know who they gave awards to ;) The complete records for that title are:

Genre Classical GRAMMY Category Best Classical Album Year 1988 - 31st Annual GRAMMY Awards Title of the Work Verdi: Requiem & Operatic Choruses Artist Performing Work Robert Shaw, conductor GRAMMY Winner Robert Shaw,conductor.

So two awards say "Atlanta" and one "Vienna". I also looked at the site you named and a few other places. I've reverted myself and will write to Grammy.com - thanks for spotting this :) -- sannse (talk) 15:30, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
