Gioachino Rossini

Conductor:
Valery Gergiev

Background: This DVD includes two major works of Russian repertoire for which Gergiev is famous. While he emphasises the lightness and vitality of Prokofiev’s 'Classical' Symphony, Gergiev pours his entire soul into Tchaikovsky’s grand, exultant Fifth Symphony.Includes a fascinating 23 minutes Documentary about the orchestra, founded by Sir Georg Solti. The orchestra draws its roster from the great orchestras of the world, even the back bench violins are first and second desk players at home.The Abu Dahbi Festival is regarded as the United Arab Emirates’ largest and most prestigious classical arts event.

'The conductor Valery Gergiev has become one of Russia’s most potent cultural symbols. [...] From the works of Mikhail Glinka to those of Shostakovich, the core of the Russian repertory is infused with a direct emotional appeal. When he conducts those scores (indeed, when he conducts anything), Gergiev is seeking a gut connection between the music and the audience.' The New York Times.
