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. Click here to purchase Traditions and Transformations.

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.

—New York Magazine

—Financial Times

MAHLER 1

An expert interpreter of Mahler’s symphonies, CSO Principal Conductor Bernard Haitink leads the triumphant First Symphony, the work that introduced Mahler’s staggering talent to the public. According to the Chicago Tribune, “Haitink’s reading was warmly expansive and beautifully played.” The Chicago Sun-Times noted, “Haitink and the CSO demonstrated confidence, vigor and ease…and brought the capacity crowd to its feet for a five-minute series of ovations.”

A musical force in Chicago and around the world, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the finest international orchestras. Its expansive catalog of more than 900 recordings has earned 58 Grammy® Awards—more than any other orchestra in the world. In 2007, the CSO launched its in-house record label, CSO Resound. Featuring live concert performances by the CSO with world-class conductors and guest artists, CSO Resound showcases the power and versatility of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra today.

“Haitink’s Mahler is the product of decades of consideration and probing study.”
—Chicago Sun-Times
