This is certainly a golden age collection from Trifonov, and it’s admirable that these two discs are always more about the music than about him...If I were to choose a compendium of Russian (mostly)... — More…

Mariinsky Orchestra & Chorus, Valery Gergiev
What really distinguishes this...is Gergiev. His reading is vivid and luminous, generally expansive but with fluidly shifting tempos, unashamedly guilty of theatrical excitement. Yet he evokes... — More…

RecommendedFerruccio Furlanetto (Don Quichotte), Anna Kiknadze (Dulcinée) & Andrei Serov (Sancho Panza)
Mariinsky Academy of Young Singers Ensemble & Mariinsky Orchestra & Soloists, Valery Gergiev
Furlanetto's basso cantante makes a fine compromise [between Ghiaurov and van Dam] - rich but smooth in fluent French - and Valery Gergiev whips up the score more vigorously than either predecessor...Gergiev... — More…

Tchaikovsky: Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2
RecommendedDenis Matsuev (piano)
Mariinsky Orchestra, Valery Gergiev

Mariinsky Orchestra & Chorus, Valery Gergiev
