Since 1994 I have regularly visited Moscow as a guest conductor of the Moscow Symphony Orchestra. With this splendid ensemble I have been able to record 22 CDs on 5 different labels, featuring off-the-beaten-track repertoire music from Europe and the USA, including music by quite a few forgotten Swiss composers. This orchestra seems to like and respect me and we have become a super team. Ellen and Maria Levine (its manageresses) and Maria Soboleva (our recording producer) have become great friends of mine. During these years I also gained the friendship of Karen Aramovich Khachaturian (the composer’s son), of Valentina Levko (a contralto and former Bolshoi star), of Rustem Gainanov (a pianist and pedagogue) and of Victor and Alla Dubiler (a record trader and his wife, a librarian).
