Grammy Award for Album of the Year

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Grammy Award for Album of the Year (dt. Grammy Award for Album of the Year ) is a music price in the annual since 1959 Grammy Awards will be awarded. This award is given to performers, producers and sound engineers alike who have released a high-quality music album in the previous year.

Background and story

The Grammy Awards (actually Grammophone Awards) have been presented annually since 1959 for artistic achievement, technical competence and overall musical achievement in various categories by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS), regardless of the number of sales of the work.

The Grammy Award for Album of the Year has been part of the award program since the first Grammy Awards in 1959. He is in addition to the prizes for the best recording, best song and best newcomer one of the four main awards ceremony and is General Field (dt. Public sector ) is assigned. The condition for a nomination is that the album consists of at least 51% new material. From 1962 to 2011, recordings of classical works were excluded from the prize; these were awarded the Grammy Award for Best Classical Album (German Grammy award for the best classical album ). In 2012 this category was integrated into the album of the year, so that nominations from classical music are now possible again.

Up to and including 1965, the award was given exclusively to the artists involved; from 1966 onwards, the producers of the album were also honored. Since 1999, the sound engineers involved in the recording have also received an award, and from 2002 onwards, the mastering engineers responsible for post-production have also received a prize . Between 1966 and 1981 an interpreter could win two awards in this category if he was also a producer. Since then, only one trophy per year and participant is possible, even if the latter took on several functions.
