The Royal Scottish National Orchestra (RSNO) is one of Scotland's leading orchestras, revered both nationally and internationally for its exceptional performances and recording history. Founded in 1891, originally as the Scottish Orchestra, the ensemble has evolved over the decades, gaining its royal title in 1977 and solidifying its reputation as a cultural ambassador for Scotland. The RSNO is based in Glasgow and performs across Scotland, including in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and Dundee, showcasing a wide repertoire that spans from cherished classical masterpieces to contemporary works.

With a rich discography that reflects its artistic versatility, the RSNO has embraced both traditional and innovative approaches to its craft. The orchestra has a history of collaborating with esteemed conductors and soloists, while also supporting contemporary composers, as evidenced in their varied recent releases such as "Symphonic Chronicles Vol. II" and "African American Voices II." Their recording of Debussy's orchestral works, referred to in Japanese as "ドビュッシー: 管弦楽作品集2" underlines their commitment to classical European traditions, whereas projects like "Lost Palace" and "River that runs forever" showcase their interest in thematic and evocative storytelling through music. The RSNO continues to enrich Scotland's musical landscape through education and community outreach programmes, ensuring that its influence extends beyond the concert hall.
