I have Vanska's complete Beethoven symphonies (in 5.1 surround, of course!) with the Minn. orchestra -- most excellent!
Just now getting into Mahler with the Dutton Vocalion discs. . . .
Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5; Barber: Adagio — Mark Donahue, engineer (Manfred Honeck & Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra) -- WINNER
I'd hesitate to write off a single one of this year's "Album of the Year" nominees as mediocre. And I'd love to hear Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. mixed for surround!
ZZzzzzzz
Exactly.
Has one single member here even heard of any of these?

Reminds me of the 1978 Oscars ... you know, for the year of Saturday Night Fever.
Which of the many hit songs from that movie were nominated?
You know, from that bestselling soundtrack of all time?
None.
Without Googling, can anyone here even name the movie whose song won, let alone the song title?
Grammy and Oscar seem to revel in lauding the soon-forgetten amd never-was.
I appreciate this post. There is indeed a fair amount of overlap between the "Surround" and "Classical Production" categories, so maybe there was also a certain degree of laziness involved when it came to nominating :
SURROUND SOUND FIELD
Best Surround Sound Album:
Early Americans — Jim Anderson, surround mix engineer; Darcy Proper, surround mastering engineer; Jim Anderson & Jane Ira Bloom, surround producers (Jane Ira Bloom) -- WINNER
Kleiberg: Mass For Modern Man — Morten Lindberg, surround mix engineer; Morten Lindberg, surround mastering engineer; Morten Lindberg, surround producer (Eivind Gullberg Jensen & Trondheim Symphony Orchestra And Choir)
So Is My Love — Morten Lindberg, surround mix engineer; Morten Lindberg, surround mastering engineer; Morten Lindberg, surround producer (Nina T. Karlsen & Ensemble 96)
3-D The Catalogue — Fritz Hilpert, surround mix engineer; Tom Ammermann, surround mastering engineer; Fritz Hilpert, surround producer (Kraftwerk)

Tyberg: Masses — John Newton, engineer; Jesse Brayman, mastering engineer (Brian A. Schmidt, Christopher Jacobson & South Dakota Chorale)
But as someone pointed out back when the nominations were announced (I think): for your work to be considered for a nomination, it has to be submitted by a member of the voting panel. (And just about anyone in the industry--artist, composer, engineer--can become a voter if they want to.) But you have to play to win. It's not clear to me how many of the surround albums that QQ members would like to have seen honored were even submitted for consideration.
That said: the Grammys are what they are, just like the Oscars, etc. It's a happy accident when something truly outstanding wins an award, and we can all name plenty of mediocre and/or ephemeral stuff that's taken home a trophy over the decades. Yet at the risk of feeding the trolls: I'd hesitate to write off a single one of this year's "Album of the Year" nominees as mediocre. And I'd love to hear Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. mixed for surround!
