The Chorus has made over 100 recordings, many under Richard Hickox, including Britten’s Peter Grimes, which received a Grammy Award, Billy Budd and most recently Vaughan Williams' A Sea Symphony.  Two further Grammys were received for Berlioz Les Troyens under Sir Colin Davis and the LSO in 2000.  Other collaborations with Sir Colin Davis and the London Symphony Orchestra on the LSO Live label are Britten’s Peter Grimes, Verdi’s Falstaff (which won a Grammy Award), Sibelius's Kullervo  (which won a BBC Music Magazine Award), Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius, Mozart's Requiem and Berlioz's Benvenuto Cellini.
