The CSO’s studio recordings have earned over 60 Grammy Awards, including Classical Album of the Year, Best Classical Performance, and more. The orchestra’s first recordings were made in 1925. Along with studio recordings, the group has performed for movie soundtracks such as Lincoln (2012) and Fantasia.
