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.
