The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is one of the three most acclaimed orchestras in America at the end of the century the others being the New York Philharmonic and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and one of the few serious rivals that the New York Philharmonic has had in its long history.

The Chicago Symphony under Reiner became established once and for all as an international-level orchestra of the first order, rivaling the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the Boston Symphony.
He is both popular and respected, and his tenure with the Chicago Symphony coincided with his becoming the winner of the greatest number of Grammy Awards of any musician in history, in any field, although Solti has also recorded with orchestras in London and Vienna.

 
 

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra has a discography of more than 900 recordings from its one hundred and twelve-year history, and its best- selling recordings continue to win prestigious international awards.

Chicago Symphony Orchestra recordings have earned fifty-six Grammy Awards from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, including several Classical Album of the Year honors, as well as a number of Best Classical Performances in the choral, orchestral, instrumental and vocal soloist, and engineering categories.

During its world tours, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is greeted by popular and critical acclaim, and the syndicated broadcasts have been heard by millions in every corner of the world.

When the Chicago Orchestra presented its first concert in the Auditorium Theater on October 16, 1891, Thomas created a recipe for success that has served the ensemble through its history: audience education and community service based upon uncompromising artistic excellence.
