If you've ever been to the Czech capital, and specifically its lavish classical music space Smetana Hall, home to the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, then you can probably imagine how spectacular it would be to watch a full symphony of musicians blast their way through Ramin Djawadi's Game of Thrones score inside such opulent and historic surrounds.





Quite the fitting spot in the perfect medieval city to match the series' fantasy setting, thankfully there's more to praise here than merely well-suited bed partners. As one of Europe's top orchestras, the City of Prague players don't just rehash but bring their own ideas to the original soundtrack. The result feels less like a set of arrangements looking for an adventure, and more like refined classical compositions in their own right. From sombre and reflective, through grand chases and onto epic romance, it's wise to buckle up.
