The Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra (Symfonický orchestr Českého rozhlasu) stands as one of the premier symphonic ensembles in the Czech Republic. With a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1926, the orchestra has become a staple of Czech cultural life through its performances, recordings, and broadcasts. Over the years, it has worked with a slew of esteemed conductors and guest artists, contributing significantly to the promotion of Czech classical music alongside contemporary international compositions.

The orchestra has a robust discography that celebrates both the grandeur of classic Czech composers and the works of modern maestros. Their recent contributions to the classical music landscape include "Svatopluk Havelka Symphonic Works, Vol. 1," a testament to their commitment to showcase Czech composers, and "Martinů: Concerto for Violin, Piano and Orchestra, Violin Sonata No. 3, Five Short Pieces," highlighting Bohuslav Martinů's contributions to 20th-century music. The Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra also delves into thematic collections, such as "Novák: Concertos" which reveals the depth of Vítězslav Novák's compositions, and "Kabeláč: Mystery of Time," showcasing the avant-garde works of Miloslav Kabeláč. Each recording is a display of the orchestra's versatility and its ongoing mission to enchant audiences with immaculate renditions of both time-honored and contemporary repertoires.
