Düsseldorfer Symphoniker
© Andreas Endermann
"Orchestra for Düsseldorf" – this is a claim that the Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra makes 250 times a year. The orchestra with its unusual profile – it works in the Tonhalle and in the Deutsche Oper am Rhein with two opera houses – also carries Düsseldorf's reputation as a city of culture all over the world with its concert tours. In the 18th century, musicians such as Händel and Corelli worked with the "Düsseldorfer Hofkapelle" until the court was dissolved. In 1818, with the founding of the Städtischer Musikverein, an orchestral culture was once again established in Düsseldorf, attracting musicians such as Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Robert Schumann. The orchestra became municipal in 1864 and is the second oldest municipal orchestra in Germany after Aachen.
The Düsseldorfer Symphoniker subsequently developed into one of the leading and largest orchestras in Germany, whose directors after the reconstruction in 1945 included Heinrich Hollreiser and then conductors such as Eugen Szenkar, Jean Martinon, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Henryk Czyz, Willem van Otterloo, Bernhard Klee, David Shallon, Salvador Mas Conde, John Fiore and Andrey Boreyko. Adam Fischer has been Principal Conductor of the Düsseldorfer Symphoniker since 2015. Alexandre Bloch worked alongside him as Principal Guest Conductor for five years, with Alpesh Chauhan taking over this position for the 2021/2022 season.
The orchestra toured Spain in 2011, performed at the Beethoven Easter Festival (Poland) in 2012 and wowed audiences in Moscow. In 2014, the symphony orchestra made its debut at the Vienna Musikverein, and in May 2015, they were celebrated at nine concerts in Tokyo. In 2017/18, the symphony orchestra performed in Arnhem and Moscow and was invited back to the Concertgebouw Amsterdam. In 2018/19, the orchestra played in Budapest and celebrated great success on a tour of Spain with five concerts – as well as on another trip to Spain in April 2022. Their most recent guest appearance took the symphony orchestra with Adam Fischer to Budapest again at the beginning of 2023.
In March 2020, the recording of Gustav Mahler's complete symphonic works was completed under Adam Fischer’s direction for the AVI label in cooperation with Deutschlandfunk. Two CDs from this cycle won awards in 2019: the recording of the First Symphony received the BBC Music Award and that of the Third an Opus Klassik award.
