{{Main|Los Angeles Philharmonic discography}}

The orchestra occasionally made 78-rpm recordings and LPs in the early years with [[Alfred Wallenstein]] and [[Leopold Stokowski]] for [[Capitol Records]], and began recording regularly in the 1960s, for [[Decca Records|London/Decca]], during the tenure of Zubin Mehta as music director. A healthy discography continued to grow with [[Carlo Maria Giulini]] on Deutsche Grammophon and [[André Previn]] on both Philips and Telarc Records. [[Michael Tilson Thomas]], [[Leonard Bernstein]], and Sir [[Simon Rattle]] also made several recordings with the orchestra in the 1980s, adding to their rising international profile. In recent years, Esa-Pekka Salonen has led recording sessions for [[Sony]] and [[Deutsche Grammophon]]. A recording of the ''[[Concerto for Orchestra (Bartók)|Concerto for Orchestra]]'' by [[Béla Bartók]] released by [[Deutsche Grammophon]] in 2007 was the first recording by [[Gustavo Dudamel]] conducting the LA Phil.

Larson]]), and the most recent 2021 film version of the [[West Side Story|Broadway musical]] ''[[West Side Story (2021 film)|West Side Story]]'' (composed by [[Leonard Bernstein]]).
