Together they form the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, and since all concerts are broadcast live they also serves as a symphony orchestra for the whole of Sweden. The high calibre of the ensemble has been developed over the years by a series of prominent principal conductors. Founded in 1936, the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra developed into an ensemble of world standard in the 1960s under the leadership of the great Rumanian maestro Sergiu Celibidache (music director 1965-1971). Celibidache was succeeded by Herbert Blomstedt, who led the orchestra from 1977 to 1982. In 1984 the 25-year-old Esa-Pekka Salonen arrived, bringing fresh ideas and innovative repertoire, and ten years later Yevgeny Svetlanov took over the reins. Between 2000 and 2006 Manfred Honeck gave the orchestra a strong Viennese flavour. Today the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra ranks among Europe's foremost orchestras. During the current artistic leadership of Daniel Harding the orchestra has become one of the most interesting and diverse orchestras in the world, collaborating continuously with leading conductors, soloists and composers. A strong commitment to contemporary music is clearly reflected in the orchestra's repertoire, and works by Swedish and international composers are frequently commissioned. The orchestra tours regularly in Europe, Asia and elsewhere, appearing at many important concert venues and at major festivals, and is also the backbone of the annual Baltic Sea Festival in Stockholm. ## Discography on Ondine (11) - [Jörg Widmann: Violin Concerto · Antiphon · Insel der Sirenen](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-1215-2.md): Christian Tetzlaff · Swedish RSO · Daniel Harding (ODE 1215-2, 2013) - [Apotheosis: The Best of Einojuhani Rautavaara](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-1081-2.md): Various artists (ODE 1081-2, 2011) - [Peter Tchaikovsky · Einojuhani Rautavaara: Symphony No. 6 "Pathétique" · Apotheosis](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-1002-2.md): Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra · Mikko Franck, conductor (ODE 1002-2, 2003) - [Anders Hillborg: Clarinet Concerto · Liquid Marble · Violin Concerto](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-1006-2.md): Martin Fröst, clarinet · Anna Lindal, violin · Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra · Esa-Pekka Salonen, conductor (ODE 1006-2, 2003) - [White Nights: Music of Tranquil Beauty](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-964-2.md): Various (ODE 964-2, 2000) - [Jean Sibelius: En Saga · Lemminkäinen Suite](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-953-2.md): Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra · Mikko Franck, conductor (ODE 953-2, 2000) - [Russian Adagios](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-938-2.md): Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra · Evgeny Svetlanov, conductor (ODE 938-2, 1999) - [Helsinki - A Musical Promenade: Musical CD + map](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-1114-2.md): Mikko Franck, conductor · Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra · Tuomas Hannikainen, conductor · Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra · Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra · Marko Ylönen, cello · Matti & Sinikka Kontio, kantele · Leif Segerstam, conductor · Pekka Kuusisto, violin · Helsinki Chamber Choir · Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra · Tapiola Sinfonietta · Soile Isokoski, soprano · Timo Nuoranne, conductor · Seppo Murto, organ (ODE 1114-2, 2008) - [Angels and Visitations.: A Rautavaara Anthology](https://ondine.eyelabel.com/catalogue/ode-1079-2d.md): Various Artists (ODE 1079-2D, 2006) - [Sibelius Favourites: (incl.
