Three basso – profundo

The concertmaster of the ensemble and co-author of the arrangements is pianist Mikhail Buzin, associate professor at the St. Petersburg State Conservatory.

The concert programs of the Three Bassi Profundo include impressive solo works.

For fourteen years, the Bassi Profundo project has successfully performed in concert halls and theaters in Austria (Ossiach), Iceland (Reykjavik), Poland (Wroclaw), Russia (Arkhangelsk, Vologda, Votkinsk, Izhevsk, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Kotlas, Magadan, Moscow, Murmansk, Nizhny Novgorod, Orsk, Petrozavodsk, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Pskov, Ryazan, St. Petersburg, Saratov, Sarov, Severodvinsk, Sortavala, Tomsk, Tyumen, Khabarovsk, Tsarskoye Selo, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Yakutsk, Yaroslavl), Serbia (Nis), France (Ouveillan), and Estonia (Jõhvi, Pärnu, Suure-Jaani, Tallinn, Tartu).

You can hear the singers in the best concert venues in St. Petersburg (at the Grand and Small Halls of the Philharmonia, Academic Capella, Estrada Theater, Hermitage Theater, White Hall of the Polytechnic University, Rumyantsev Mansion) and Moscow (at the Chamber and Svetlanovsky Halls of the Moscow International House of Music).

In December 2010, the Three Bassi Profundo performed at the Grand Kremlin Palace in Moscow at the award ceremony of the Andrei Pervozvanny Foundation in the presence of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill.

In 2012, a full-length CD album of the Three Bassi Profundo, "Evening Bells," was recorded in St. Petersburg, the first edition of which quickly sold out and required reprints.

In 2014, a DVD was released with the program "Love Conquers All Ages," and in 2018, a DVD was released with a recording of the first part of the program "Mastery of Soviet Cinema Songs."

The creative partners of the Three Bassi Profundo include the Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Saratov Regional Philharmonic named after A. Schnittke, the State Academic Russian Orchestra named after V. V. Andreev, the State Chamber Orchestra "Virtuosos of Moscow," the State Symphony Orchestra of the Udmurt Republic, the Magadan Russian Orchestra, the Murmansk Philharmonic Orchestra, the National Choir of Iceland, the Russian Folk Instruments Orchestra of the Kamchatka College of Music, the Russian Folk Orchestra of the Khabarovsk Regional Philharmonic, the Symphony Orchestra of the Karelian State Philharmonic, organist Andres Uibo (Estonia), pianist Yulia Vakulskaia, mixed choir "Branko" (Serbia), conductors Artem Bykov, Andrei Gordeev, Konstantin Esipov, Emmanuel Ledoux-Barome (France), Andrei Istomin, Anatoly Rybalko, Vladimir Simkin, Vladimir Spivakov, Vladimir Fonin, Asya Furta, Sara Zintsarevich (Serbia).

At the inception of the ensemble stood the St. Petersburg composer and pianist Timur Kogan, who, as the concertmaster, was replaced by Mikhail Buzin in 2011. At the initial stage of the project, music producer Victor Kharov was involved. From 2009 to 2011, the singer Sergey Kochetov from St. Petersburg participated in the Three Bassi Profundo concerts. He was replaced by Ukrainian bass Sergey Kryzhnenko, who has been with the group for over 10 years. Since the second half of 2011, Vladimir Miller has been serving as the artistic director, main arranger, and producer of the Three Bassi Profundo. In 2023, the ensemble began a collaboration with St. Petersburg basso profundo Pavel Andreev, who replaced Sergey Kryzhnenko, with whom cooperation is currently not possible due to objective reasons. Thus, since 2023, the creative composition of the Three Bassi Profundo has once again become entirely St. Petersburg-based.

The ensemble leads an active concert life, creating new programs and receiving numerous interesting creative proposals from philharmonics, concert halls, theaters, and music festivals.
