BBC Symphony Orchestra
The BBC Symphony Orchestra, founded in London, England, on 22 October 1930, was

broadcast ensemble of the British Broadcasting Corporation. Its inaugural
concert, conducted by Adrian Boult, opened the Queen’s Hall to an enthusiastic
public, establishing a reputation for performance and pioneering new music. Over
the decades, the orchestra released a vast catalogue of recordings, including
Elgar: Enigma Variations (1984), Symphony No. 5 (1989), Vaughan Williams:
Symphony No. 6 (1991), Holst: The Planets...
