Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra

The Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra, also known as the Slovak National Symphony Orchestra, is one of Slovakia's most esteemed musical institutions. Based in Bratislava, the Orchestra was established in the wake of the Second World War and has since evolved into an ensemble celebrated both for its versatile performances of classical music and its dedication to showcasing Slovak composers and musical heritage.

Renowned for its recording projects as much as for its live performances, the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra has an extensive discography that contains both traditional compositions and contemporary works. Recent releases demonstrate this range, from "A Máme, Čo Sme Chceli", an original score that exemplifies the orchestra's support of local talent, to international works like "Glière: Symphony No. 3 in B Minor, Op. 42 'Ilya Muromets'," which showcases their proficiency in classic Russian repertoires. The orchestra also pays tribute to iconic figures in Slovak music as seen in "Marián Varga in Memoriam (Live at Bratislava, 2018)", while albums like "Holst: The Planets, Op. 32" and "Nordgren: The Bergman Suites" confirm their skill in delivering Western orchestral masterpieces with nuance and vigor. Their versatility is further seen in specialized compilations such as "Purple Classics Presents: Ballet Highlights," appealing to a broad range of classical music enthusiasts. Under the baton of various distinguished conductors over the years, the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra remains a prominent ambassador of Slovak musical culture and an important player on the global classical music stage.
