Il Grammy Award alla miglior interpretazione strumentale solista (senza orchestra) (Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist Performance (without orchestra)) è stato assegnato dal 1959 al 2011.
Dal 1967 al 1971 e nel 1987 il premio fu associato alla miglior interpretazione strumentale solista (con orchestra) e fu assegnato come Grammy Award alla miglior interpretazione classica strumentale: solista o solisti (con o senza orchestra).
Storia Il premio ha subito alcuni cambi di nome nel tempo: 1959: Best Classical Performance - Instrumentalist (other than concerto-scale accompaniment) 1960: Best Classical Performance - Concerto or Instrumental Soloist (other than full orchestral accompaniment) 1961: Best Classical Performance - Instrumental Soloist or Duo (other than with orchestral accompaniment) 1962-1964: Best Classical Performance - Instrumental Soloist or Duo (without orchestra) 1965: Best Performance - Instrumental Soloist or Soloists (without orchestra) 1966-1994: Best Classical Performance - Instrumental Soloist or Soloists (without orchestra) 1995 ad oggi: Best Instrumental Soloist Performance (without orchestra)
Il premio sarà interrotto dal 2012 causa revisione delle categorie stesse del Grammy. Dal 2012, questa categoria si fonderà con la categoria miglior interpretazione strumentale solista (con orchestra) per formare la nuova categoria miglior assolo strumentale di musica classica. Questo è fondamentalmente un ritorno alle categorie esistenti dal 1967 al 1971.
Gli anni si riferiscono agli anni in cui il Grammy Award è stato presentato per i lavori effettuati nell'anno precedente.
