Christmas concert
Moscow State Academic Symphony Orchestra
“The very creative image of Hibla Gerzmava evokes feelings of piety and admiration. The only Gran Prix winner of the Tchaikovsky competition, she proved her reputation of one of the best European female opera singers”.
Dmitry Renansky
“Long ago, Hibla had set her standards very high, and never lowered it. No wonder then that every performance of hers is a pure delight for the audience. Clear, sensitive, and divine voice of Hibla makes you feel like you’re in heaven…”
Irina Schymchak, “Muzykalnyi Klondayk”
Hibla Gerzmava is one of the Russian opera biggest stars. In 1994, during Tchaikovsky Competition, on hearing young Gerzmava the great late Elena Obraztsova wrote down in her judge’s notebook, “The next big thing!!!”. She was right: that year Gerzmava became the winner, and her career skyrocketed. Classical cognoscenti as well as opera fans had been following her programmes since long ago, and the singer reached wider audience due to the performance during the closing ceremony of Sochi Olympics.
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.
