“The MSO has done outstanding work for me over 10 years. My first videogame – Outcast (2000 AIAS Best Music Nominee), is considered a landmark score in the videogame industry and remains to this day one of the best videogame soundtracks of all time”.

Lennie Moore

“Under the Marco Polo/Naxos banner, we have recorded nearly 30 albums in the last 15 years with the Moscow Symphony Orchestra. Two of our albums were nominated for Grammy Awards, and they have garnered tremendous reviews and sales. We have also recorded our own film scores with the orchestra. It is very professional, courtesy, and the word “impossible” has no meaning to them. In addition to a great standard orchestra, they have a pool of musicians they can draw on when we need unusual instruments such as accordion, saxophones, guitars, choir, and electronics. Their 5.1 recordings are state of the art.”

John Morgan, Composer, Producer.
