The Royal Scottish National Orchestra is one of Europe's leading symphony orchestras
Formed in 1891 as the Scottish Orchestra, the company became the Scottish National Orchestra in 1950, and was awarded Royal Patronage in 1991. Most recently, the Orchestra became internationally recognized for the quality of its performances under the baton of then Principal Conductor, Alexander Lazarev , notably for the complete cycles of Shostakovich and Prokofiev symphonies. Alexander Lazarev was recently appointed Conductor Emeritus.
The RSNO has recently toured to Norway, Greece, Spain and Sweden. The most recent tour to Austria and Croatia in May 2005 included two concerts in the Musikverein in Vienna. The Orchestra played at the opening ceremony of the new Scottish Parliament building in October 2004, and appears regularly at the Edinburgh International Festival and the BBC London Proms . Most recently the Orchestra performed in Paris as part of the Présences 2006 Festival.
In the past few years, the RSNO has achieved a world-wide reputation for the quality of its recordings. They’ve also recorded soundtracks for films such as Vertigo (winner of a Gramophone Award), Star Wars, Titanic, The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape. Most recently, the first CD in a new partnership with Linn Records with Alexander Lazarev conducting Shostakovich's Symphony No11 has been released to great critical acclaim.
Committed to performing to the highest standard, the RSNO’s award-winning education programme continues to develop musical talent and appreciation with people of all ages and abilities throughout Scotland. In education and outreach work, members of the Orchestra work with schoolchildren and community groups, in some of the biggest projects to be undertaken in the UK, to ensure the continuation of music as an integral part of life for future audiences.
皇家蘇格蘭國家交響樂團是歐洲最重要的交響樂團之一。
該樂團作為蘇格蘭交響樂團組建于1891年，于1950年成為蘇格蘭國家交響樂團，1991年受到皇家資助。在當時的主指揮亞歷山大?納扎勒夫的帶領下，該樂團以其高質量演出獲得了巨大的國際聲譽。他們最擅長演奏肖斯塔科維奇和普洛科菲耶夫的作品。最近，亞歷山大?納扎勒夫榮譽退職。
皇家蘇格蘭國家交響樂團近期在挪威、希臘、西班牙和瑞典進行了巡回演出。最近一次巡演在2005年5月于奧地利和克羅地亞舉行，包括兩場在維也納音樂節(jié)舉行的音樂會。樂團在2004年10月為蘇格蘭新議會大廈的投入使用舉行了演出，并在愛丁堡國際音樂節(jié)和BBC逍遙音樂節(jié)有自己固定的演出項目。最近，樂團出現(xiàn)在2006巴黎音樂節(jié)的展示活動中。
最近幾年，皇家蘇格蘭國家交響樂團灌制的唱片也以其出色的質量贏得了世界聲譽。他們還為電影《迷魂記》、《星球大戰(zhàn)》、《泰坦尼克號》、《七武士》和《勝利大逃亡》配樂，其中《迷魂記》的配樂獲得了留聲機唱片大獎。最近，該樂團與林恩唱片公司合作把亞歷山大?納扎勒夫指揮的肖斯塔科維奇的第十一交響樂灌制成了該樂團的第一張CD，同樣受到了批評界的一致好評。
在致力于奉獻高規(guī)格演出的同時，皇家蘇格蘭國家交響樂團還推廣了一項名為“獲獎教育”的計劃。該計劃旨在提高蘇格蘭所有公民的音樂才華和音樂鑒賞水平。樂團成員深入學校和社區(qū)，投身到英國最大的幾個教育推廣計劃之中，努力使音樂成為未來聽眾生活中的一部分。
