Valery Gergiev takes us on a tour of Mussorgsky’s «Pictures at an Exhibition»
It’s not just that he knows it like the back of his hand, the piece is actually in his blood: in the second concert with his Mariinsky Orchestra St. Petersburg, Valery Gergiev trains the Wolkenturm’s spotlights onto three important composers from his homeland. If you love Modest Mussorgsky and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, if you’re curious about the melodic yet virtuoso Symphony No. 2 by Alexander Borodin, you’re in just the right place!
