Maybe it's worth mentioning there were two Moscow Radio Symphony orchestras. The current Tchaikovsky SO, founded in 1930, was known as the Bolshoi ("big", "great", "large") radio orchestra, and its Russian name still includes the word, but there was also a second radio SO: the current State Symphony Capella was originally founded as a second radio ensemble and moved under Ministry of Culture's aegis and Rozhdestvensky's direction after Maxim Shostakovich emigrated to West.

Trying to make sense of the number and names of Russian orchestras is-for a non-Russian speaker-an absolute nightmare. This applies both before 1991 and the breakup of the USSR and after 1991 when a number of "new"orchestras sprang up.

It's not easy even with some command of Russian as some groups choose to obscure certain details in their lineage.

I worked on a similar project a couple of years ago on rateyourmusic.com, at least the permanent ensembles should be documented well enough on that site (or were as I left them...).


I believe the "Russian Symphony Orchestra" Mark Gorenstein made recordings with in the 90s is the current Novaya Rossiya orchestra, conducted by Yuri Bashmet since 2002.
