Symphony Nominated For 4 Grammys

This year it's four: The Seattle Symphony Orchestra has received four Grammy nominations for two discs of American composers Henri Lazarof and Howard Hanson, both on the Delos label.

The Hanson disc of Symphonies Nos. 3 and 6, plus his ``Fantasy Variations on a Theme of Youth,'' is up for Best Classical Album and Best Orchestral Performance. The Lazarof disc, featuring ``Tableaux (After Kandinsky)'' with piano soloist Garrick Ohlsson, was nominated for Best Contemporary Composition and Best Classical Performance.

Gerard Schwarz, the Seattle Symphony's music director, conducted both recordings. He has been nominated for a fifth Grammy for Hanson ``Fantasy Variations,'' competing against himself (in the Lazarof disc) in the Best Classical Performance (instrumentalists with orchestra) category. The ``Fantasy Variations,'' a shorter work for piano and orchestra, feature pianist Carol Rosenberger and Schwarz's New York Chamber Symphony; this performance is paired with the Seattle Symphony's recording of two Hanson symphonies on the Hanson disc.

A couple of locally based bands won nominations in contemporary-music categories. Heart was nominated for best pop performance by a duo or group with vocal for ``All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You,'' and the Robert Cray Band was nominated in the category of best contemporary blues recording for ``Midnight Stroll.''
