Хор Ленинградского радио и телевидения

The Leningrad Radio and Television Choir (Хор Ленинградского радио и телевидения) was a prominent Soviet-era choir known for its diverse repertoire and high performance standards. Active for several decades, they performed and recorded a wide range of music, from classical choral works by Russian composers like Shostakovich, Taneyev, and Sviridov, to folk songs and popular Soviet music. Their recordings helped spread the reach of these composers and preserved a specific era of Soviet musical culture. The choir was often led by distinguished conductors, including Grigory Sandler, whose name appears on several of their recordings.

While the Leningrad Radio and Television Choir is no longer active under that name, their legacy remains through their extensive discography. These recordings offer a valuable glimpse into the rich choral tradition of the Soviet Union and showcase the impressive vocal talents of the ensemble. They were a key part of the Soviet broadcasting landscape, bringing choral music to a wide audience through radio and television broadcasts.
