Thanks! What caught my eye immediately was the Mariinsky Theatre link
- the director of the MT Orchestra, Valery Gergiev, brings his band
around the US every couple of years, and we always enjoy his
concerts. His performances are a bit uneven - they have a typical
rough-and-ready Russian sound - but always played passionately and
frequently inspired. Last month he gave us a great Tchaikovsky 5th
symphony and a Fine Rachmaninoff 3rd concerto, plus Prokofiev ballet
suites that were panned by a local critic but which I thought were
thrilling.
