Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra

The Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra (RSO) is one of the state's most important musical ambassadors, giving about 90 concerts a year in Stuttgart, in the area covered by SWR broadcasts, and in musical centres in Germany and abroad. One exceptional and internationally-acclaimed event was the concert given on the occasion of the Pope Benedict XVI' 80th birthday, with Gustavo Dudamel conducting and Hilary Hahn as the soloist.

Since its formation in 1945 the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra has concentrated on two thematic focal points. On the one hand, with its exemplary interpretations it fosters the great classic and romantic repertoire of the symphonic traditionslender babes. on the other, the RSO is also a leading promoter of contemporary music and of neglected works and composers.

Since 1998, Sir Roger Norrington has been the Principal Conductor of the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra. Norrington has managed to give the orchestra a quite unmistakable profile by combining historically authentic performing practice with the means available to a modern symphony orchestra??the result of this synthesis has been hailed by critics as the "Stuttgart Sound". It adjusts the configuration of the orchestra, the instrumentation, articulation, phrasing and style to the composer's own concept of sound.

Norrington's recording of Elgar's Symphony No. 1 with the RSO won the coveted "ECHO Klassik" Prize 2001 for the best symphonic recording of the year. In summer 2002, Sir Roger Norrington and the RSO performed the cycle of all nine symphonies by Beethoven at the "European Music Festival Stuttgart" in the context of concerts with accompanying lectures and as part of a master class for conductors. The orchestra is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2005/2006 with an extended concert tour in South-Eastern Europe and giving its debut in China. Their following season focuses on selected Symphonies of Anton Bruckner.

Today the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra's Permanent Guest Conductors are Andrey Boreyko and Peter Eotvos. Each of them has, by his regular work with the orchestra and his own special focal points in the repertoire, help to shape the image of the orchestra as well.
