The
Russian National Orchestra has been in demand throughout the music world ever
since its 1990 Moscow premiere. Of the orchestra`s 1996 debut at the BBC Proms
in London, the Evening Standard wrote, "They played with such captivating beauty
that the audience gave an involuntary sigh of pleasure." More recently, they
were described as "a living symbol of the best in Russian art" (Miami Herald)
and "as close to perfect as one could hope for" (Trinity Mirror).
The
first Russian orchestra to perform at the Vatican and in Israel, the RNO
maintains an active international tour schedule, appearing in Europe, Asia and
the Americas. Guest artists performing with the RNO on tour include conductors
Vladimir Jurowski, Nicola Luisotti, Antonio Pappano, Alan Gilbert, Carlo Ponti
and Patrick Summers, and soloists Martha Argerich, Yefim Bronfman, Lang Lang,
Pinchas Zukerman, Sir James Galway, Joshua Bell, Itzhak Perlman, Steven
Isserlis, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Simone Kermes and Renee Fleming, among many
others. Popular with radio audiences worldwide, RNO concerts are regularly aired
by National Public Radio in the United States and by the European Broadcasting
Union. Gramophone magazine called
the first RNO CD (1991) "an awe-inspiring experience; should human beings be
able to play like this?" and listed it as the best recording of Tchaikovsky`s
Pathetique in history. Since then, the orchestra has made more than 60
recordings for Deutsche Grammophon and PentaTone Classics, distinguishing the
RNO as the only Russian ensemble with long-standing relationships with these
prestigious labels, as well as additional discs with many other record
companies. Conductors represented in the RNO discography include Founder and
Music Director Mikhail Pletnev, Principal Guest Conductor Vladimir Jurowski,
Kent Nagano, Alexander Vedernikov and Paavo Berglund.
The RNO`s recording
of Prokofiev`s Peter and the Wolf and Beintus`s Wolf Tracks, conducted by Kent
Nagano and narrated by Sophia Loren, Bill Clinton and Mikhail Gorbachev,
received a 2004 Grammy Award, making the RNO the first Russian orchestra to win
the recording industry`s highest honor. A Spanish language version narrated by
Antonio Banderas was released in 2007, following a Russian version narrated by
actors Oleg Tabakov and Sergei Bezrukov, with Mandarin and other editions to
follow.
The orchestra`s Shostakovich cycle on PentaTone Classics is
widely acclaimed as “the most exciting cycle of the Shostakovich symphonies to
be put down on disc, and easily the best recorded.” (SACD.net)
A regular
visitor to the Schleswig-Holstein, Gstaad and Rheingau festivals, the RNO is
also the founding orchestra of Napa Valley Festival del Sole, Festival of the
Arts BOCA in Florida, and the Singapore Sun Festival, and resident orchestra for
multiple seasons of the Tuscan Sun Festival in Cortona, Italy. The RNO will
launch its own annual festival in 2009, which will be held at Moscow`s Bolshoi
Theater.
The RNO is unique among the principal Russian ensembles as a
private institution funded with the support of individuals, corporations and
foundations in Russia and throughout the world. In recognition of both its
artistry and path-breaking structure, the Russian Federation recently awarded
the RNO the first ever grant to a non-government orchestra.
