Brad Lubman
The cooperation with the South West German Radio Symphony Orchestra Baden Baden and Freiburg under the baton of the American guest conductor Brad Lubman was a stroke of luck. This was clear through the clarity of expression and intensity of sound shaping in his interpretation of Alban Berg. The sultry atmosphere of Claude Debussy's "Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune" was dense, and Igor Stravinsky's ballet suite "L'oiseau de feu" unleashed the full power of the modern orchestra.
