Misha Rachlevsky

Misha Rachlevsky is a Russian-born conductor and violinist best known for his dynamic leadership of the Chamber Orchestra Kremlin, the ensemble he founded in 1991. With a career spanning decades, Rachlevsky has carved out a niche blending fiery interpretations of classical staples with underappreciated works, particularly from Russian composers. His eclectic discography—ranging from Rossini’s playful string sonatas to Weinberg’s haunting chamber symphonies—showcases a knack for breathing new life into both familiar and overlooked repertoire. The orchestra’s recordings under his baton, like *A Russian Mosaic* or the Grammy-nominated *Shostakovich: Chamber Symphonies*, often highlight their rich string sound and collaborative spirit. Whether tackling Schnittke’s quirky *Moz-Art à la Haydn* or weaving through Bach’s intricate concertos, Rachlevsky’s work radiates passion for storytelling through strings.
