Formed in 1904 by a group of disgruntled members of the Queen's Hall Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra has grown to be one of the most respected and best known ensembles in the world.

Certainly one of the most recorded orchestras in history, the London Symphony has appeared on hundreds of discs, and has achieved enormous success as performers of motion picture soundtracks.
