From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Grammy Award for Best Classical Album was an award presented to recording artists for quality albums in the classical music genre at the Grammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards.[1] Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position".[2] was awarded from 1962 to 2011.

The award was first presented in 1962 to recognize classical albums. It is not awarded to "reissues, compilations and "Best Of" packages" and "Associate and executive producers are not eligible".[3] From 1962 to 1963, 1965 to 1972 and 1974 to 1976 the award was known as Album of the Year - Classical. In 1964 and 1977 it was awarded as Classical Album of the Year. In 1973 and from 1978 to the present it has been awarded as Best Classical Album. The award will be discontinued from 2012 in a major overhaul of Grammy categories. From 2012, recordings in this category will fall under the Album of the Year category, because "nearly all recipients of this distinction had also won in one of the other classical categories for the same album."[4][5]
