Description:

The Chicago Principal: Principal Players of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (2CD) A celebration of the principal players of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, one of the world’s finest orchestras! The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is ranked among the world’s finest orchestras for its distinctive sound. In particular, its reputation for virtuosity in the wind section goes without saying. Naturally, the musicians who have earned “first chair” in this orchestra are world-class soloists as well. This album brings together a collection of exquisite concertos performed as solos by these principal players. Many of these recordings were previously difficult to obtain, and this marks the first-ever CD release of Vaughan Williams’ works! The deluxe digipak features biographies of each principal player, an essay tracing the history of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and a wealth of rare photographs.
