美国西部时间2月10日下午17:30(北京时间2月11日上午)，第50届格莱美音乐奖在洛杉矶斯台普斯体育馆(NBA洛杉矶湖人队主场)举行。其中古典类奖项提前揭晓，获格莱美最佳乐器独奏奖提名的郎朗遗憾并未获奖，被James
Ehnes的《巴伯/科恩古德/沃尔顿小提协奏曲》专辑夺得。郎朗的《贝多芬钢琴协奏曲1号和4号》，最终还是与格莱美大奖失之交臂。
郎朗这次凭借与恩师艾森巴赫合作的贝多芬专辑，第一次入围格莱美大奖，成为第一个获得格莱美该奖提名的中国钢琴家，也是第一个获得“最佳演奏家”提名的中国音乐家。
虽然并未获奖，但郎朗将在格莱美颁奖礼现场进行6分钟的表演，这将是古典音乐缺席格莱美舞台二十年后的一次华丽亮相。（里奇）
