Radio-Sinfonie-Orchester Frankfurt
From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Artist
The Radio-Sinfonie-Orchester Frankfurt is the radio orchestra of the Hessian broadcaster Hessischer Rundfunk. It was founded in 1929 as the Frankfurter Rundfunk-Symphonie-Orchester and bore that name until 1950. Between 1971 and 2005 it was called the Radio-Sinfonie-Orchester Frankfurt, and after that the hr-Sinfonieorchester. For foreign tours it uses the name Frankfurt Radio Symphony. The first tour, in 1980, went to the United States.
Music and breakthrough
The first conductor, Hans Rosbaud, also directed the orchestra towards new music. Composers such as Alban Berg, Arnold Schönberg, Béla Bartók, Igor Stravinsky, Anton Webern and Paul Hindemith took part in the concerts, and Schönberg wrote radio talks for the station. After the war Kurt Schröder and Winfried Zillig rebuilt the orchestra. Dean Dixon and Eliahu Inbal made it an internationally respected ensemble between 1961 and 1990. Under Inbal came the first recordings of the original versions of Bruckner's symphonies and the first digital recording of all of Mahler's symphonies, both awarded a Deutscher Schallplattenpreis.
Influence
Later chief conductors were Dmitri Kitayenko, Hugh Wolff, Paavo Järvi and Andrés Orozco-Estrada. The orchestra is regarded as one of the most important Mahler and Bruckner orchestras. It shows how a radio orchestra can ensure the preservation and performance of the classical canon, but also the early presentation of new movements.
