The Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, a jewel of Russia’s classical music scene, is renowned for its remarkable interpretation of classical compositions and its steadfast dedication to promoting the rich traditions of classical music. Formed in 1951 under the leadership of conductor and violinist Samuil Samosud, the orchestra quickly established itself as one of the foremost ensembles in the Soviet Union and has since maintained its reputation through both political changes and the evolution of the classical music genre.
Over the years, the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra has been led by a number of distinguished conductors, including Kirill Kondrashin and Yuri Simonov. The orchestra's repertoire covers a vast range of classical music, emphasizing Russian composers such as Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff, evident from some of their recent releases like "Слушаем Чайковского" (Listen to Tchaikovsky) and "Лучшие произведения С.В. Рахманинова" (The Best Works of S.V. Rachmaninoff). They also explore thematic productions, often to coincide with seasons or holidays, offering collections such as "Зимние мелодии" (Winter Melodies) and "Весенняя капель" (Spring Droplets), thereby continuing to enrich the world’s musical heritage and inspire both new and seasoned audiences. Their mastery in delivering spellbinding performances has solidified the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra's status as a cultural ambassador of Russia’s storied musical history.
