The BBC National Orchestra of Wales is an integral part of Welsh culture, giving frequent premieres of works by Welsh composers. The orchestra is often active beyond Wales, recording a variety of material that includes many BBC television soundtracks, including a series for the Doctor Who program. The orchestra has a large catalog of some 85 recordings that is by no means restricted to the music of Welsh composers. Those include, from 2025, the second of a pair of albums devoted to the music of early 19th century English composer Cipriani Potter.
