The Malmö Symphony Orchestra (MSO) gives concerts every week, demonstrating its skill in broad and multifaceted programmes. MSO proudly carries forward the traditions of the symphonic repertoire, and also strives to bring it forward into the future. Several recordings have gained international accolades, including first prize at the Cannes Classical Award and the annual Diapason d’Or awards. Their recording of Berwald’s symphonies, conducted by Sixten Ehrling, was nominated for one of the record industry’s most prestigious prizes, the Gramophone Award. Releases on Naxos of music by the American composer Charles Ives have won great acclaim and were named Editor’s Choice/Recording of the Month by Gramophone in October 2008. The Naxos recordings of Franz Schmidtʼs Symphonies with former principal conductor Vassily Sinaisky have been equally acknowledged and acclaimed in Gramophone and BBC Music Magazine. Sinaisky has been honorary conductor of the MSO since 2011. Two Naxos Grieg recordings received outstanding reviews in The New York Times. In August 2013 the MSO and Marc Soustrot, who has been the orchestra’s principal conductor since the 2011/2012 season, began recording the complete orchestral works of Camille Saint-Saëns for Naxos.
