From 2006, the 2L record label has received 28 Grammy nominations, including fifteen (as of 2018) for Mr Lindberg in the Best Surround Sound Album category alone. Proving his dominance in this category, he received three nominations in a field of five at the 58th Grammy Awards in 2016.[2] Lindberg has also been nominated in other categories, such as Best Choral Performance and Best Engineered Album, Classical. As of 2018, Lindberg has received 24 nominations but has yet to win his first Grammy. He holds the record for most nominations without a win.

He usually works with Norwegian and other Scandinavian ensembles and soloists, such as the Trondheim Soloists, Ensemble 96, Uranienborg Vokalensemble and Vladimir Ashkenazy.
