Founded as the RIAS-Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, i.e. as an orchestra run by the >Radio in the American Sector<, the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin has a great number of recordings under its belt. As early as 1949 its principal conductor, Ferenc Fricsay, directed the first gramophone recording, Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto with Yehudi Menuhin as soloist. There followed countless radio transmissions and numerous recordings under the orchestra's principal conductors Lorin Maazel, Riccardo Chailly, Vladimir Ashkenazy and Kent Nagano and many other maestros.
