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.

Concerti
"[...] an intense bath of color and with almost spatial sound effects." Review by Ecki Ramón Weber, November 2, 2023

Pizzicato
"Nabil Shehata spurs his ensemble on to powerful, energetic music-making with celebratory impetus: a very gripping, pulsating and differentiated Beethoven reading." Review by Guy Engels, October 11, 2023
