The Grammy Award for Best Classical Compendium is an honor presented at the Grammy Awards, a ceremony that was established in 1958 and originally called the Gramophone Awards, to recording artists for quality compendium albums in the classical music genre. Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position".
This category is one of the three newly created categories for the 55th Grammy Awards. According to the category description guide it is intended "for an album collection containing at least 51 percent playing time of newly recorded material of performances by various soloist and/or ensemble involving a mixture of classical subgenres" It also states that these albums may not be entered in other classical album categories and classical crossover albums might be eligible.
The Grammy is awarded to the artist, album producer and engineer of over 51% of playing time of the album, if other than the artist.
