The MSSO was founded in 1943 by the Kremlin and is one of the oldest symphony orchestras in Russia.
Leo Steinberg, the Peoples Artist of USSR and conductor of the Bolshoi Theatre, became the MSSO first Chief Conductor, a post he held until his death in 1945. He was succeeded by a series of distinguished Soviet musical giants that has included Nicolay Anosov (1945 – 1950), Leo Ginsburg (1950 – 1954), Mikhail Terian (1954 – 1960), and Veronica Dudarova (1960 – 1989). Owing to the collaboration with such figures the orchestra became one of most prominent national symphonic ensembles, but in the first place it was known through its performances of Russian and Soviet classical music, involving many premieres of Myaskovsky, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Glier.
The Moscow State Symphony Orchestra became renowned around the globe under the leadership of Pavel Kogan. In 1989 he was engaged as Music Director and Chief Conductor and immediately enriched the orchestra repertoire by the works of European and American musical literature.
A landmark of the MSSO has been to present the great cycles of complete symphonic works from leading composers: Brahms, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, R. Strauss, Mendelssohn, Mahler, Bruckner, Sibelius, Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, Glazunov, Rachmaninov, Prokofiev, Shostakovich, Scriabin, Berlioz, Debussy and Ravel. The orchestra’s wide-ranging programs combine great orchestral, operatic, and choral classics with equally significant music of the 21st century, including many forgotten or neglected works.
The MSSO plays some 100 concerts annually. Along with the series in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory and in Tchaikovsky Concert Hall, the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra performs in the Great Hall of the Saint-Petersburg D.D. Shostakovich Philharmonic Society and on the stages of many other Russian cities. The MSSO tours regularly overseas including the USA, United Kingdom, Japan, Spain, Austria, Italy, Germany, France, South Korea, Australia, China and Switzerland.
The Moscow State Symphony Orchestra also has a long and distinguished recording history with DVD and CD studio and live recordings, television and radio broadcasts. In 1990 the “Pioneer” made a live recording of Tchaikovsky’ piano and violin concertos, performed by the MSSO and Maestro Kogan (soloists – Aleksey Sultanov, Maxim Vengerov). In the early 1990s Russian television released the documentary “Travels with the orchestra” about the MSSO and Pavel Kogan tour in Europe and Saint-Petersburg. Their Rachmaninov cycle, released by “Alto”, which recorded all the symphonies and symphonic dances, has become a chart-topping album.
The MSSO has a proud history of collaborating with eminent conductors and soloists including Evgeny Svetlanov, Kirill Kondrashin, Aleksandr Orlov, Natan Rahlin, Samuil Samosud, Valery Gergiev, David Oistrakh, Emil Gilels, Leonid Kogan, Vladimir Sofronitsky, Sergei Lemeshev, Ivan Kozlovsky, Svyatoslav Knushevitskyi, Sviatoslav Richter, Mstislav Rostropovich and Daniil Shafran.
The orchestra’s partnership with Pavel Kogan has earned the orchestra and enviable reputation for high standards of artistic excellence, imaginative programming and community engagement, having a broad and loyal constituency around the world.
Tobias Feldman was born in 1991 in Fulda. He studied at the Higher School of Music in Würzburg and at the Eisler Higher School of Music in Berlin. His teachers included Herwig Zack and Antje Whitehaas.
Fame came to the violinist after vivid creative victories at prestigious international competitions, including the Queen Elizabeth Competition in Brussels (2015), the Josef Joachim Violin Competition in Hannover (2012), the All German Music Competition (Deutscher Musikwettbewerb, 2012). The press admiringly writes about his interpretations, noting that they "differ in classical elegance and ease" and that such a high performing level is "only available to a mature artist".
The musician performs on the biggest stages of the world. He played with such bands as the Beethoven Orchestra in Bonn, the Brussels Philharmonic, the Utah Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Chamber Orchestra of Wallonia. Among the conductors with whom he had a chance to perform on one stage were Marin Alsop, Gilbert Varga, Hannu Lintu, Michel Tabachnyk, Karl-Heinz Steffens, Nicholas Milton, Toshiyuki Kamioka, Nicholas Pasquet, Paul Meyer.
Tobias Feldman showed himself to be a wonderful ensemble player, playing in different compositions with famous musicians, taking part in prestigious festivals - the lands of Schleswig-Holstein, the lands of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Rheingau, Schubertiade in Hohenams and other events.
In 2014, the first CD of the artist with the works of Beethoven, Bartok, Waxman (Genuin label), which received positive feedback from the public and the press, was released. In early 2017, the light saw the second album of the musician, recorded together with pianist Boris Kuznetsov. The projects on the labels Outhere Music and Alpha Classics are planned.
In the 2016/17 season, Tobias Feldman performed in Frankfurt, Bremen, Essen, Basel, Las Vegas and other cities; toured in the trio with viola player Liz Berto and cellist Julian Stekel.
