The Philharmonie Südwestfalen and its chief conductor, Nabil Shehata, offer us repertoire rarities of the highest artistic quality and one of the milestones of the repertoire. On the orchestra’s second recording with GENUIN, the agile North Rhine-Westphalian state orchestra presents works by Antonín Dvořák on a double CD. In addition to the “Symphony

From the New World”, the album includes the early, lush 3rd Symphony of the Bohemian master and two of his late symphonic poems: “The Noon Witch” and “The Water Goblin”. A fascinating cross-section of Dvořák’s work, from his Richard Wagner-influenced beginnings to maturity.

In its new GENUIN CD “Die Weihe des Hauses” (The Consecration of the House), the Philharmonie Südwestfalen / Landesorchester NRW presents the entire diversity of a modern symphony orchestra. The occasion for this CD is the orchestra’s move to its new domicile, the Haus der Musik in Siegen. Chief conductor Nabil Shehata chose orchestral music from the beginning of the 19th century to the present day for this production, making full use of his orchestra’s strengths: Beethoven’s overture to “The Consecration of the House”, with its almost baroque sonority, Tchaikovsky’s passionate and virtuosic 5th Symphony, and Andres Reukauf’s lively and playful “Südwestfalen-Fanfare” (South Westphalia Fanfare) span a wide range of the repertoire that the powerful state orchestra offers its audience.

The year 2021 marks the centenary of the death of Camille Saint-Sa”ens, the French pianist, organist, critic and great Romantic composer. The cellist Astrig Siranossian plays the first of his two cello concertos, composed in 1872, notable for the fact that it comprises a single movement in three sections, and for the thunderous irruption of the cello right at the start. She is accompanied by the Philharmonie S”udwestfalen and its conductor Nabil Shehata, who is also an eminent double bass player – the principal of the Berlin Philharmonic in the 2000s – and deeply committed to Daniel Barenboim’s West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, of which Astrig is also a member.
