Hamburg Radio Orchestra
The Radio Orchestra of Hamburg and the Hamburg Radio Orchestra (also Hamburg Radio Symphony and Orchestra of the Hamburg Radio ) was 1946-1955, a radio orchestra of NWDR , and from 1956 to 1964 the NDR .
After the end of the Second World War , the orchestras of the Hamburg station were reorganized by the British occupying forces .
The Hamburg Radio Orchestra was established in 1946 by Werner Schmidt-Boelcke and Willy Steiner , who also directed the Hamburg Radio Dance Orchestra , as the second symphonic orchestra (alongside the NWDR symphony orchestra ) with 70 members. From 1948 it was led by Wilhelm Stephan and Walter Martin as permanent leading conductors. In the early 1950s, under Stephan's musical direction, numerous complete recordings of operettas were made for the radio with the Hamburg Radio Orchestra as the orchestra, which have since been released on CD by various labels. After Martin's death in early 1964, the orchestra was disbanded.
