  Yes, the players were mostly from the CSO, although I don't have definite 
information and have only "heard" that. However, I've been told on good 
authority that the Schory recording(s) (was) (were) made in Orchestra Hall. The 
pre-1966 revovation sound, before the acoustical catastrophe of the renovation, is 
there.

Definitely recorded in Chicago, so members of the CSO seems likely.  
Sorkin founded Concert-Disc and Concert-Tapes as a recording vehicle  
for his Fine Arts Quartet, but put out a lot of other releases as  
well. Dick Schory got his start in percussion recordings with "Re- 
Percussion" on Concert-Disc, which does sound like it was recorded in  
Orchestra Hall. I like both the sound and the performances of Sorkin  
as conductor, and we reissued "Symphony of Dance" (with bonus tracks)  
from the reel tape editions.
