Abstract
The article considers an influence of the resolution of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU(b) issued in February 1948 “On the opera ‘The Great Friendship’ by V. Muradeli” on the activities of symphony orchestras of the RSFSR.
The author of the article notes that the historiography of the topic focuses more on the state and party authorities work for the execution and control of that resolution, on the processing of individual musical works and on the activities of outstanding Soviet composers. The issues of changes in personnel, repertoire, in the number of concerts, as well as changes in concert venues of symphony orchestras as part of the republican and regional philharmonic societies of the RSFSR in the second half of 1948 are practically not considered by researchers of the topic.
The article provides information from the report documents, repertoire plans of the Moscow Regional Philharmonic, the Ossetian State Philharmonic, the Kabardian State Philharmonic, as well as the Irkutsk Regional Philharmonic of 1948. The author of the article analyzes not only the activities of symphony orchestras, but also the specific steps of the regional and republican philharmonic societies to implement and control the execution of the resolution of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU(b) of February 10, 1948.
