Moscow State Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra

The Moscow State Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra (MSRTVSO) is a versatile Russian ensemble founded in 1978 under the Soviet Union’s State Committee for Television and Radio. Known for its rich, dynamic sound, the orchestra initially focused on broadcasting classical music to wide audiences, blending traditional Russian works with international repertoire. Over the decades, they’ve become celebrated for collaborations with composers like Kara Karayev (whose ballet suites appear in their catalog) and for spotlighting modern pieces, as seen in releases featuring Miguel Yuste Mora or Mikhail Kollontay. Their recordings often balance crowd-pleasing classics (like Schubert’s “Rosamunde”) with deeper cuts, reflecting both accessibility and artistic ambition.

Led by notable conductors like Vladimir Fedoseyev in past decades, the MSRTVSO has maintained a strong presence in Russia’s cultural scene, whether through studio recordings, live broadcasts, or curated albums like *The Best Moments 2*. Their knack for blending crisp technique with emotional depth keeps them a go-to for listeners exploring everything from Romantic-era gems to 20th-century symphonic experiments. While rooted in broadcast history, their work today continues to bridge eras and styles, making classical music feel fresh and approachable.
