history

In 1958, under the later chief conductor Kirill Petrovich Kondraschin , the orchestra accompanied the US pianist Van Cliburn at the 1st Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow , whose victory in this competition also caused an international sensation as a signal of the thaw . In 1960 the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra became the first Soviet orchestra to tour the United States. Under the long-time musical director Kondrashin, the orchestra performed Shostakovich's fourth and thirteenth symphonies as premieres, along with many other works . On a tour through Japan in April 1967 under Kondrashin, recordings were made that a Japanese radio station later published as CDs on the Altus label . With Juri Iwanowitsch Simonow , chief conductor since 1998, who increased the professionalism of the orchestra, the orchestra toured Great Britain, France, Germany, Slovenia, Croatia, Poland, Lithuania and Spain as well as Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea.
