Chamber Orchestra Kremlin has earned international recognition as one of Russia’s leading ensembles. Composed of some of Russia’s finest young string players, the orchestra has carved a niche for itself under the baton of its founder and music director, Misha Rachlevsky.
The ensemble was founded in 1991 for an extensive recording project in Moscow, and the enthusiasm that greeted the orchestra’s initial performances in the recording studio and on concert stages led to its establishment as a fulltime entity, now under the auspices of the Moscow City Government. Chamber Orchestra Kremlin has released 16 CDs on Swiss label claves, garnering numerous international reviews and awards such as “Diapason d’Or” in France, “Record of the Year” in Hong Kong and The New York Times’ “Critic’s Choice.” |
