Grammy nominations for Gustavo Dudamel, LA Phil, Gabriela Ortiz

Recordings by Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic landed six nominations for the 2025 Grammy Awards on Friday, with Dudamel and the orchestra choosing one for an orchestral performance for their work on that of the composer Gabriela Ortiz “Diamantine Revolution”.

This first complete album of Ortiz’s orchestral works garnered several distinctions, including one for contemporary classical composition, an award given to the composer. Other nominations for the LA Phil recording of Ortiz’s work were for Classical Album, Classical Producer of the Year (Dmitriy Lipay), and Classical Collection.

Composer John Adams’ opera “Girls of the Golden West,” performed by the LA Phil and Los Angeles Master Chorale, garnered nominations for operatic recording and classical album; it was also cited in Lipay’s nomination for Classical Producer of the Year.

In the orchestral performance category, Dudamel and the LA Phil take on Marin Alsop and the ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra for Adams’ “City Noir,” commissioned by the LA Phil for Dudamel’s gala debut. Other members of the category include conductor JoAnn Falletta, who made a name for herself as music director of the nominated Long Beach Symphony with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra; former LA Phil principal guest conductor Susanna Mälkki, nominated to conduct the Helsinki Philharmonic; and Esa-Pekka Salonen and the San Francisco Symphony.

In the classical instrumental solo category, Los Angeles’ Wild Up Ensemble’s recording of “Eastman: The Holy Presence of Joan d’Arc” earned nominations for soloist Seth Parker Woods and conductor Christopher Rountree .

Dudamel, who will leave for the New York Philharmonic in 2026already has five Grammy Awards after winning one last year with the orchestra for a performance of “Ades: Dante. »

A triumph for Dudamel at the 67th Grammy Awards would give him a sixth victory out of seven nominations. Other wins include a choral performance for “Mahler: Symphony No. 8, “Symphony of a Thousand”” at the 64th Grammys and an orchestral performance for “Ives: Complete Symphonies” at the 63rd Grammys. He won his first statuette at the 54th Grammy Awards for an orchestral performance for “Brahms: Symphony No. 4.”

The 67th Annual Grammy Awards will take place on February 2 at the Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles. It will be broadcast live on CBS and Paramount+.
