Over the decades, the Smithsonian Chamber Music Society has partnered with many different record labels—including, in addition to the Smithsonian Collection of Recordings, deutsche harmonia mundi, EMI, BMG, SONY/Vivarte, Virgin Classics, Dorian, Bridge, and Koch—winning numerous awards in the process. Some of these CDs are still available, often in re-releases. Others are not in the catalogue at the moment, but may often be found, offered by third party sellers, through services such as Amazon.com. These include:
