Bishop won for his work on the ASO's Ralph Vaughan Williams CD on the orchestra's own ASO Media label.

Music director Robert Spano conducted the orchestra; Norman Mackenzie directed the chorus.

The ASO did not win in the other two categories for which it was nominated or shared a nomination: best orchestral performance (for Sibelius: Symphonies Nos. 6 & 7; Tapiola) and producer of the year (Elaine Martone was nominated for four albums, including the ASO’s Vaughan Williams).

The Vaughan Williams album included the compositions Dona Nobis Pacem; Symphony No. 4; and The Lark Ascending.
