Notable conductors have included Hiroshi Wakasugi, Eliahu Inbal, and Gary Bertini, who directed all of Gustav Mahlerâs symphonies with the ensemble. The orchestra has recorded various soundtracks, including Dragon Quest with Koichi Sugiyama and music for Nodame Cantabile. Kazushi Åno became the orchestra's director musical in 2015.
