The following year it made its recording debut. Since then it has won increasing recognition as one of the leading and most versatile radio light orchestras in Europe. Its repertoire ranges from modern dance music to operetta, from folk music to jazz. The Light Orchestra of the German-Swiss Radio is now under the direction of Hans Moeckel.
