Philharmonia Orchestra / Esa-Pekka Salonen

The Philharmonia Orchestra from London is an ensemble of superlatives: originally formed by Herbert von Karajan, it has been honing its image for decades now, making it one of today’s most sought-after orchestras worldwide. And the Philharmonia’s repertoire goes well beyond the usual concert hall canon: recordings of film music and game soundtracks are as much part of the portfolio as its activity in music labs, which offer classical orchestras opportunities for digital networking. Conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen has been working with the orchestra for many years in an atmosphere of constantly growing harmony.
