“What an artist! Everything is so simple, so ingenious, without the slightest attempt to explain the music…”

“Super-soloist” is the way France Musique introduced Dmitry Masleev when he made his debut with the Orchestre National de France playing the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1, the work that helped launch his international career, when he won the 2015 Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in Moscow. Diapason described the same concert as “the Triumph of Dmitry Masleev at Radio France. Masleev delivered a soaring interpretation, with his transcendent virtuosity augmented by his delicate touch.”

Dmitry’s debuts at the Golden Hall of Musikverein and the Berlin Philharmonic, as well as his return to Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg were unfortunately cancelled due to pandemic-related restrictions and will be rescheduled in the coming seasons.His solo recital debut at the Philharmonie de Paris with a program of Russian and French music was a tremendous success, with two encores offered to a nearly sold-out audience and a series of glowing reviews of France’s toughest critics. “He is an architect of the piano, like few of his colleagues today,” Thomas Deschamps, Altamusica. “Lengthy applause, the enthusiasm in the hall punctuated by people chanting "bravo"…”

Moscow State Symphony Orchestra (MSSO) was founded in 1943 by the Government of the USSR and is one of the oldest symphony orchestras in Russia. Leo Steinberg, the People's Artist of USSR, a conductor of the Bolshoi Theatre, was the first Chief Conductor of the MSSO and led the orchestra until his death in 1945. Then the leadership of the MSSO was carried out by such famous Soviet musicians as Nikolai Anosov, Leo Ginzburg, Mikhail Terian, Veronika Dudarova, Pavel Kogan. Thanks to cooperation with them the orchestra became one of the best symphonic ensembles in the country, but was known primarily by performances of Russian and Soviet classical music, including premieres of compositions written by S.Prokofiev, N.Myaskovsky, D.Shostakovich, R.Glier. The orchestra is proud of its partnership with prominent conductors and soloists: Yevgeny Svetlanov, Kirill Kondrashin, Alexandr Orlov, Natan Rakhlin, Samuil Samosud, Valery Gergiev, David Oistrakh, Emil Gilels, Leonid Kogan, Vladimir Sofronitsky, Sergei Lemeshev, Ivan Kozlovsky, Sviatoslav Knushevitsky, Sviatoslav Richter, Mstislav Rostropovich, Daniil Shafran and many others.
