[Matisse] was interested neither in fending off opposition,

Are you implying that a Grammy® may be awarded for something other than, or in addition to, artistic merit?

Since I don't follow new releases and don't even know what the other nominees are, I don't have an opinion.  But I would be interested in hearing what Jens has to say.

Haven't heard any of the orchestral nominees, either, so unable to weigh in.

Pass.

So NARAS considers download-only recordings eligible for its highest accolade.  Interesting.
