The 3rd International Symposium of the Classical Music Recording Industry will be held in Moscow from November 19–21, 2025. The event is organized by the Russian Musical Union and supported by the Presidential Foundation for Cultural Initiatives.
More than 20 Russian companies, studios, and educational institutions associated with the recording industry became partners of the symposium.
One of the key partners of the event was the Melodiya company, the oldest representative of the sound industry in our country.
Among the symposium's key topics is the restoration of archival sound recordings. Without restoration, we risk forever losing unique interpretations, forgotten repertoires, and the pristine sound of works born in the fire of inspiration. Restoring archival recordings of classical music is not just a technical task, but a sacred duty to time, culture, and humanity. In every rustle of old tape, in every crackle of a vinyl record, lies the breath of the past, the voices of great men whose hands touched the keys, whose baton brought scores to life, whose thoughts and feelings are forever imprinted in the vibrations of sound.
Melodiya, originally established as a state-owned company for the production, storage, and distribution of sound recordings, continues to be the custodian of our country's musical history. The company's archive contains over 230,000 recordings.
At the symposium, Melodiya will be represented by Maxim Pilipov, Deputy Director of the Hardware and Studio Complex and sound engineer and restorer, who will participate in a public talk entitled "Restoration: A Technical or Creative Process?"
The public talk will take place on November 19 at the Cyberdom space, located at 12 2-ya Zvenigorodskaya St., Bldg. 18, Moscow. Representatives of the Moscow Conservatory will also participate in the discussion: Evgeny Platonov, producer and deputy head of the Multifunctional Educational and Production Center for Sound Recording and Sound Engineering at the Tchaikovsky Moscow Conservatory, and Elena Doynikova, restorer at the Multifunctional Educational and Production Center for Sound Recording and Sound Engineering at the Tchaikovsky Moscow Conservatory.
