Description:

New Southwest Deutsches Rundfunk Symphony Orchestra to Feature Inbal in First Symphonic Repertoire Recording! The new Southwest German Radio Symphony Orchestra (SWR Symphony Orchestra) was formed in 2016 through the merger of the Southwest German Radio Symphony Orchestra Baden-Baden & Freiburg, originally called the "Southwest German Radio Symphony Orchestra," and the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra. This is the first release of the long-awaited symphonic repertoire under this new structure. The SWR Symphony Orchestra will perform Shostakovich's Symphony No. 11 with Inbal. The orchestra responds perfectly to Inbal's deep reading of the score and meticulous expression of every detail of this work, which is highly narrative in nature. The rich sound of the strings, the fine singing of the woodwinds, the roar of the brass backed by solid technique (the top trombone player is Mayumi Shimizu), and the effective burst of the percussion instruments all make for a wonderful performance that fully demonstrates the functionality of this orchestra.
