A recording of the third symphony of the latter was used in a dramatisation by the BBC of Beethoven's writing of that symphony.[2] Gardiner has served as chief conductor of the North German Radio Symphony Orchestra and has appeared as guest conductor of some of the most famous orchestras including the Philharmonia, Boston, Cleveland, Royal Concertgebouw and Vienna Philharmonic orchestras.
