"In particular, the incredible intensity and accuracy achieved by its violin section was unique (although standards began to slip after emigration of Jewish musicians was permitted)."
Since I don't know anything about violins, or Russia, I am not going to change this, but it does sound a bit anti-semitic. Is there any source for this? --Terrible Tim00:54, 11 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
It seems to be the very opposite (? pro-semitic). It's talking about Russian Jews being permitted to emigrate to Israel or the West, the result of which was that the standard of the playing suffered because the violin section did not contain enough Jews. It's equally POV. -JackofOz01:04, 11 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

I was a student in St Petersburg 1995-7 and remember the orchestra as still named the "Leningrad Phil" so I'm challenging the renaming quoted in 1991. I think it must have been later. Could have been that it was still known by its old title (Leningrad Phil....) only in the West, though... A few concert posters should settle the issue.
