Adams' Pulitzer Prize-winning work, a memorial to the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks, drew its text from the missing persons signs that papered New York in the weeks after the attacks and from interviews with the victims' loved ones. The Philharmonic's recording features the Brooklyn Youth Chorus and New York Chorus Artists; music director Lorin Maazel is the conductor.

The Philharmonic has now won a total of 17 Grammys; today's two awards were its first since 1990. Maazel added two to his three previous wins. Adams' win is his third in the composition category: he previously won for El Dorado in 1997 and for Nixon in China in 1988.

The husband-and-wife team of conductor Andr_ Previn and violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter won Best Instrumental Soloist Performance With Orchestra for a recording of Previn's Violin Concerto ("Anne-Sophie") and Leonard Bernstein's Serenade with the Boston Symphony.

The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra won the Best Choral Performance award for the eighth time for a recording of the Berlioz Requiem, conducted by music director Robert Spano. The CD features tenor Frank Lopardo; Norman Mackenzie directed the ASO Chorus.

Another ASO recording, of Jennifer Higdon's City Scape and Concerto for Orchestra, won Best Engineered Album, Classical; Jack Renner of Telarc was the engineer.

David Frost was named Producer of the Year, Classical, for his work on five CDS from the Milken Archive of American Jewish Music, released by Naxos.

Other winners included guitarist David Russell, who won Best Instrumental Soloist for Aire Latino; Martha Argerich and Mikhail Pletnev, who won Best Chamber Music Performances for a two-piano disc of Ravel and Prokoviev; and mezzo-soprano Susan Graham, who won Best Classical Vocal Performance for a collection of songs by Charles Ives. Southwest Chamber Music, led by Jeff von der Schmidt, won Best Small Ensemble Performance for a disc of chamber works by Carlos Chávez. The Los Angeles Guitar Quartet won Best Classical Crossover Album for LAGQ's Guitar Heroes.
