		The American GRAMMY award is the world's most prestigious and coveted music prize, and has a similar standing in the music industry as the OSCAR does in the film industry.

	Categorizing Classical Performances \| Chicago Classical Music
		Just as there are separate Orchestral and Choral award categories for groups of more than 24 musicians or singers, we feel that vocal and instrumental small ensembles should not be pitted against each other either.
		The current "Best Classical Contemporary Composition" category is for the first recording of a work written within the last 25 years, and is awarded to the composer.
		This new category would be a performer's award for albums containing music from 1950 to the present.

	The Leonard Bernstein Biography Page on Classic Cat
		Many critics consider Bernstein's later conducting performances to be the finest of his career, while others deride them as excursions into overly melodramatic and cloying sentimentality.
		He was highly regarded as a conductor, composer (not related to film composer Elmer Bernstein), pianist, and educator, and probably best known to the public as longtime music director of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, for conducting concerts by many of the world's leading orchestras, and for writing the music for West Side Story.
		A major highlight of the tour was Bernstein's performance of Shostakovich's fifth symphony, in the presence of the composer, who came on stage at the end to congratulate Bernstein and the musicians.
