Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra

The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra is one of the UK's longest established orchestras, and is based in Liverpool. It is funded by the local authority, and is the only orchestra in the UK to own its own hall, the Philharmonic Hall. The hall has particularly fine acoustics, and has been used for many recordings with the orchestra.
