Based in Manchester, the BBC Philharmonic has established an international reputation, having travelled extensively to the USA, the Far East, South America and all over Europe. Its Principal Conductor is Yan Pascal Tortelier, Sir Edward Downes is Conductor Emeritus and Vassily Sinaisky (Music Director of the Moscow Philharmonic) is Principal Guest Conductor.

The Orchestra records over one hundred programmes annually for BBC Radio 3 and BBC Television both in the studio and in public concerts all over Britain. Under its exclusive Chandos contract the BBC Philharmonic displays an extensive repertoire featuring artists such as Gennady Rozhdestvensky, Matthias Bamert and Richard Hickox as well as its own conductors.

"such is the class of the BBC Philharmonics playing for their principal guest conductor that by the end of the disc I felt that I had at least been shown facets of his [Kabalevskys] art that I had never before appreciated." Gramophone 'Editor's Choice'

'Stott plays both concertos with aplomb but also with an understandable wariness of their superficiality, coaxing out their lyricism but playing down their brilliance' She's got a sympathetic collaborator in Sinaisky'' Fanfare
