I sincerely doubt any record labels will manufacture any traditional silver discs in 2011. Download turn into streaming and very soon the providers will turn up the bitrate to match the quality we are used to from CD. Combine streaming subscription with the capability to make offline local storage of the music and the future is here.

In the category Best Surround Sound Album Morten Lindberg is nominert as producer and engineer for the same album. The Norwegian label 2L now count a total of 9 nominations past five years. The 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards will be held on February 13th, 2011, at Staples Center in Los Angeles and once again will be broadcast live in high definition TV and 5.1 surround sound on CBS. TRONDHEIMSOLISTENE - in folk style: In Nordic Melodies we find Grieg in passionate play with folk songs. The work sparkles with harmonies and expression, developing a whole story from just a few short stanzas. The Holberg Suite, loved for its beauty and feared for its challenges, is a fusion of European musical tradition and a genuine Norwegian sound palette. The Trondheim Soloists follow up with two brilliant soloists, Emilia Amper on nyckelharpa and Gjermund Larsen on fiddle, in newly commissioned music characterized by the same energy and tenderness. Wild nature and Nordic light are essential elements of the folk style. This lies at the core of the Trondheim Soloist's soul, a meeting between the musical playfulness and passion. Conductor: Øyvind Gimse. Ensemble leader: Geir Inge Lotsberg. The Trondheim Soloists is regarded one of the top chamber orchestras in the world. Their DIVERTIMENTI was nominated for the 51st GRAMMY Awards as "Best Small Ensemble", "Best Engineered Album" and "Best Surround Sound Album" in 2008. Now IN FOLK STYLE sets a new standard for the performance of Edvard Grieg's "Suite From Holberg's Time" with the intense musical details revealed in this most spectacular surround sound recording ever made.
