The NDR Radiophilharmonie, also known as the North German Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, delights in a well-earned reputation as one of Germany's foremost symphonic ensembles. Based in Hannover, this orchestra is part of the Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR), Northern Germany's public radio and television broadcaster. Founded after World War II, the ensemble has evolved over the decades, fostering a rich and diverse repertoire that spans from the classical to the contemporary. With its dynamic programming, the NDR Radiophilharmonie not only performs symphonic works but also ventures into film scores and cross-genre collaborations.

The orchestra's recent releases showcase its eclectic capabilities and willingness to engage with different musical traditions. Collaborating with the esteemed Knabenchor Hannover, they have brought to life a delightful array of German folk and children's songs - from the playful "Schneeflöckchen, Weißröckchen" to the traditional "Ich geh mit meiner Laterne." Such projects align with their mission to engage wider audiences and serve as a cultural envoy of Northern Germany, often embarking on tours and featuring in festivals. Moreover, their recording of "Was bleibt (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)" demonstrates their versatility in interpreting contemporary compositions, further illustrating the ensemble's continuous evolution and adaptability within the vibrant classical music landscape.
