CSO RESOUND TAKES HOME TWO GRAMMYS!

Recordings featuring the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s in-house record label won two Grammy® Awards on Sunday, February 8, from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. In the Best Orchestral Performance category, the CSO won for its searing interpretation of Shostakovich’s Fourth Symphony, led by Principal Conductor Bernard Haitink. Included in the release is a bonus DVD of the CSO’s Beyond the Score® performance, which explores the history of the symphony. You can purchase Shostakovich 4 on CD or at iTunes from this page.

The engineers of the CSO Resound album Traditions and Transformations: Sounds of Silk Road Chicago (David Frost, Tom Lazarus, and Christopher Willis) were awarded the Grammy® in the Best Engineered Album, Classical category. Traditions and Transformations features the CSO side by side with the Silk Road Ensemble, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and pipa player Wu Man in a fascinating musical tour that blended Eastern and Western influences.

Recordings by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra have won sixty Grammy® Awards from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. Shostakovich’s Fourth Symphony is Bernard Haitink’s second Grammy®; his first was for Janáček’s opera Jenůfa with the Royal Opera, Covent Garden, in 2003.
