BBC Symphony Orchestra is a British orchestra that was established in 1930. It is the principal orchestra of the British Broadcasting Corporation and one of the leading orchestras in the United Kingdom.

The orchestra has had several notable conductors, including Arturo Toscanini, Pierre Boulez, and Colin Davis. It has also performed world premieres of works by composers such as Benjamin Britten, Michael Tippett, and John Adams.

The orchestra has released several critically acclaimed albums, including Holst's The Planets, Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf and Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. The orchestra has also released several compilations of works by British composers, such as Elgar's Enigma Variations and Vaughan Williams' A London Symphony.

An interesting fact about the BBC Symphony Orchestra is that it was the first orchestra in the world to be recorded on both 78 rpm records and the newly invented 33⅓ rpm long-playing records.
