The English Chamber Orchestra is the most recorded chamber orchestra in the world, its discography containing 860 recordings of over 1,500 works by more than 400 composers.The ECO has also performed in more countries than any other orchestra, and played with many of the world's greatest musicians. The illustrious history of the orchestra features many major musical figures. Benjamin Britten was the orchestra's first Patron and a significant musical influence.The ECO's long relationship with Daniel Barenboim led to an acclaimed complete cycle of Mozart piano concertos as live performances and recordings, followed later by two further recordings of the complete cycle, with Murray Perahia and Mitsuko Uchida.Tours in 2014/15 include Bermuda, Austria, Slovenia, Greece, Germany, Finland and the USA as well as a series of concerts at London's Cadogan Hall and performances throughout the country.The Orchestra has been chosen to record many successful film soundtracks including Dario Marianelli's prizewinning scores for Atonement and Pride and Prejudice, and several James Bond soundtracks, and has taken part in a variety of other film and television projects, most recently Tony Palmer's new portrait of Benjamin Britten for Sky TV.The ECO is proud of its outreach programme, Close Encounters, which is run by the musicians in the orchestra and takes music into many settings within communities and schools around the UK and abroad.
