| Â | CLASSICAL MUSIC ARCHIVES MP3/WMA: St. Petersburg State Academic Symphony Orchestra |
 | | The St. Petersburg State Academic Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1967, and the outstanding masters of the St. Petersburg school brought their highly artistic and humane approach to music making to the ensemble during its formative years. | | | The St. Petersburg State Academic Symphony Orchestra is a unique group capable of organizing musical festivals independently. | | | The orchestra's audience is also able to enjoy the music of many traditional but neglected composers as Martynov and his orchestra have rescued their scores from non-existence and give them a new happy life on the concert stage. |

| | This was a concert performance at the Musical Theatre of the Conservatory, popularly called "The Rimsky-Korsakov" (just as the Maly nowadays is "The Mussorgsky"). | | | I am also happy to note that I have learned the name of the tenor who sang in that concert Iolanta I heard at the conservatory in March (see review of Iolanta)--Zakhozhaev. | | | His bass sound is not one of the most beautiful around, and his tone is not particularly full, sharing Trofimov's grainy quality to some extent. |
