The Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist(s) Performance (with orchestra) has been handed out since 1959. From 1967 to 1971 and again in 1987, the award was combined with Best Instrumental Soloist Performance (without orchestra) and given out as Grammy Award for Best Classical Performance - Instrumental Soloist or Soloists (with or without orchestra). Over the decades the Recording Academy had brought about small changes to the title of the award, in the year of its introduction it was known as Best Classical Performance - Instrumentalist (with concerto scale accompaniment), the title was altered slightly every year until 1964, in 1966 it was changed to Best Classical Performance - Instrumental Soloist or Soloists (with orchestra) and in 1995 it was changed yet again to the present title Best Instrumental Soloist(s) Performance (with orchestra).
