Chicago Transit Authority
(1969)

by
Chicago
Few debut albums can boast as consistently solid an effort as the self-titled Chicago Transit Authority (1969). Even fewer can claim to have enough material to fill out a double-disc affair. Although this long- player was ultimately the septet's first national exposure, the group was far from the proverbial "overnight sensation." Under the guise ...

The Best of Chicago: 40th Anniversary Edition

by
Chicago
The purpose of 2007's The Best of Chicago: 40th Anniversary Edition -- the group's second double-disc set in just five years -- is plain in its title: it's been assembled with the band's birthday in mind. It's hard to pass up an anniversary like that, and so The Best of Chicago competes with 2002's The Very Best of Chicago: Only the Beginning, a ...

Sidney Harth (violin), Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Fritz Reiner (conductor)
Symphonic enough? Of course it is. Listen to the glisten of the brass. Listen to the shine on those strings. Listen to warmth of the winds. Inch for inch and pound for pound, Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's 1956 recording of Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade is the biggest, boldest Scheherazade ever recorded. Although not usually ...

by
Chicago
Does anyone need another Chicago album besides this one? For the casual fan, the answer is definitely no. The 1975 blockbuster includes all the band's hits from its prime. And while tracks like "Wishing You Were Here" and "Feelin' Stronger Every Day" have worn a wee thin over the years, most of the cuts here are still topnotch. Standouts include ...

Chicago
Although it was their tenth release Chicago X (1976) was actually the band's eighth studio effort -- as Chicago IV (1972) had been a live set from Carnegie Hall and Chicago IX (1975), which precedes this disc, was the their first best-of collection. Musically, the combo had effectively abandoned their extended free-form jazz leanings for more ...

by
Chicago
Chicago Transit Authority recorded this double-barrel follow-up to their eponymously titled 1969 debut effort. The contents of Chicago II (1970) underscore the solid foundation of complex jazz changes with heavy electric rock & roll on the first set. The septet also continued their ability to blend the seemingly divergent musical styles into some ...

Although commercially successful, Chicago's previous long-player, Chicago VI (1973), had not been received as warmly from both the critics as well as from some bandmembers. Both parties expressed their dissatisfaction with the lighter fare and significantly shorter material. In response, the combo briefly returned to their previously tried and ...

Bartók: Concerto for Orchestra; Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta; Hungarian Sketches

by
Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Fritz Reiner (conductor)
Fritz Reiner's friendship with Béla Bartók must be considered an important factor in the creation of these legendary recordings. Koussevitsky's famous commission for the Concerto for orchestra was due in large part to Reiner's advocacy, and he was among the first conductors to both perform and record this masterpiece. Beyond this, Reiner's great ...

While neither the most French La Mer nor the most Italian Pines of Rome and Fountains of Rome, these are still staggeringly effective readings by Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony. Recorded by Richard Mohr in 1959 and 1960, these performances are incredibly well played -- listen to the cellos' glorious tone in the big theme of the opening ...

Until 2007, this particular coupling of Van Cliburn's epic-making 1960 and 1961 recordings with Fritz Reiner leading the Chicago Symphony Orchestra of Schumann's A minor Concerto and Beethoven's E flat major Concerto had never before existed in RCA's Living Stereo series. Perhaps it was better that way: the fire power of either performance ...

Chicago returned from a career dip in 1982 with "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" and continued to hit with power ballads, among them "Hard Habit to Break" and "You're the Inspiration," all sung by Peter Cetera. But the streak continued after Cetera departed in 1985, as Jason Scheff stepped in and Chicago went on to score hits like "Will You Still Love Me?, ...

Aside from his sensational Wagner Ring cycle, if one recording in Georg Solti's catalog bears repeated reissues, it must be his truly legendary rendition of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 8 in E flat major, "Symphony of a Thousand," a captivating performance that was unmatched in its day and one that still holds its own against later releases.

Although they had a moderate hit with 1978's Hot Streets, for all intents and purposes Chicago had been adrift since the tragic death of Terry Kath in January of 1978. Chicago 16 is where the band finally righted itself, in no small part due to the addition of guitarist/keyboardist Bill Champlin, the namesake of the '60s San Franciscan psychedelic ...
