The Hollywood Studio Symphony is the credited name of the symphony orchestra behind many major soundtracks. Although the name "Hollywood Studio Symphony" may lead listeners to think that it is a conventional symphony orchestra, the members of the ensemble are session musicians contracted individually and differ from soundtrack to soundtrack.The name was used for the first time in 2002, so records released before that should not be entered here.
Note: Do not mistake with Hollywood Symphony Orchestra.
