The New York Philharmonic (= NYPO), the oldest symphony orchestra in the USA and one of the oldest in the world, has played a leading role in American musical life since its founding in 1842. The NYPO has always championed the new music of its day, giving many important works, such as Dvorák's Symphony No. 9, "From the New World," their first performances. The pioneering spirit of the NYPO continues, with works by major contemporary composers scheduled each season. In 1991 Kurt Masur became Music Director of the NYPO, bringing his personal stamp to an Orchestra that has felt the influences of Gustav Mahler, Toscanini, Leonard Bernstein, Boulez, and Zubin Mehta. Among the many distinguished composers, conductors, and soloists who have performed with the NYPO are Anton Rubinstein, Tchaikovsky, Dvorák, Richard Strauss, Sergei Rachmaninov, and Igor Stravinsky. |
