News and notes from the world of classical music.

WKAR’s music team breaks down Classical Music Grammy nominees

The 55th Grammy Awards ceremony takes place Sunday night at 8pm on CBS. Millions of eyes and ears will be turned to some of the world’s most popular music that evening.

Classical music, as usual, will be somewhat of a sidebar. The classical Grammys are typically announced off-camera in a separate awards ceremony. But the fact remains that the breadth and depth of classical music leads to a large number of categories, nominations and awards.

WKAR’s Jody Knol, Mark Schwitzgoebel and Peter Whorf are always tuned into the classical music scene.They got together in the WKAR studios earlier this week to review some of the Grammy Classical nominated recordings.
