Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake - Bratislava Radio Symphony Orchestra

The Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1929 as Slovakia's first professional symphonic ensemble. The orchestra's first music director was Oskar Nedbal, who died one year after accepting the post. He was succeeded by Frantisek Dyk, who developed the orchestra's reputation through work in symphonic and operetta repertoire. The orchestra has made numerous recordings of nineteenth and twentieth century music, including many compositions by Slovak composers. The group regularly performs in major Eastern European music festivals and has toured Europe and the Far East.
