The TFC has also collaborated with Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony Orchestra on numerous recordings, including Mahler's Second, Third, and Eighth symphonies, Strauss's Elektra, Schoenberg's Gurre-Lieder, and Bartók's The Miraculous Mandarin, on Philips; Mendelssohn's complete incidental music to A Midsummer Night's Dream, on Deutsche Grammophon; and Berlioz's Requiem, Fauré's Requiem, and Tchaikovsky's The Queen of Spades, on RCA Victor Red Seal. Also for Philips, with the BSO under Bernard Haitink's direction, the chorus has recorded Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé and Brahms's Alto Rhapsody and Nänie. They can also be heard on the RCA Victor discs "A Splash of Pops" and "Holiday Pops" with Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops Orchestra, as well as on two Christmas albums — "Joy to the World," on Sony Classical, and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," on Philips — with John Williams and the Boston Pops Orchestra. The Tanglewood Festival Chorus can also be heard on the soundtracks of two movies, Saving Private Ryan and Mystic River.[2] James Taylor's wife is a member of the chorus, some of whom can also be heard as a "virtual" backing group for his 2007 UK tour.

On February 19, 2009, the BSO announced the launch of a new series of recordings on their own label, BSO Classics. Three of the four initial releases, all recorded live in concert, feature the Tanglewood Festival Chorus: William Bolcom's 8th Symphony (which the TFC premiered in 2008), Brahms's Ein Deutsches Requiem, and Ravel's complete Daphnis et Chloé.
