conductor Valery Gergiev
In one of a series of concerts this October marking the end of his tenure as Principal Conductor of the LSO, Valery Gergiev draws on his theatrical roots, placing the spotlight on Stravinsky's iconic ballet The Rite of Spring.
In exploring BartΓ³k and Stravinsky side-by-side in this concert, Gergiev brings together some of the repertoire he excels in. These three works have diverse inspirations: folk music and chirruping birds in BartΓ³k's Third Piano Concerto, the Classical period in Stravinsky's Symphony in C, and a depiction of a pagan rite in The Rite of Spring.
