Awards, Grammy Winners 2025

Since 1959, the Grammy Awards (presented by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences) have been one of the major events in the global record-industry year; held at the Crypto.com arena in Los Angeles last night, the ceremony featured live performances from artists including Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Sabrina Carpenter and Billie Eilish.

This year's classical winners included new works by Gabriela Ortiz, the late Kaija Saariaho and Caroline Shaw, songs by Florence Price from American soprano Karen Slack and pianist Michelle Cann, Bruckner's Symphony No. 7 and Mason Bates's Resurrexit from the Pittsburgh Symphony and Manfred Honeck, and Víkingur Ólafsson's recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations.
