The forerunner organization, die Philharmonische Gesellschaft (The Philharmonic Society), was founded on 9 November 1828, and was led by Friedrich Wilhelm Grund.[1][2] In 1905, Gustav Mahler conducted the Hamburg premiere of his Symphony No. 5.[3]
In 1934 it merged with the Stadttheater-Orchester to become the Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg.[4] Under this name a celebrated Eighth Symphony of Anton Bruckner under Eugen Jochum in 1949 was recorded.[5]
