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:

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)Reply

Also, the same recording won 'best album', so that's another thing to check. Mirror Vax 12:58, 15 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

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)Reply
