Japanese pressing, deluxe digipack packaging Valery Gergiev conducts the Kirov Orchestra at Mariinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg in Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, plus Scriabin's The Poem of Ecstasy and Prometheus. Valery Gergiev's tempos run down the middle of the road, but there's a lot going for his Kirov (now Mariinsky) recording; spacious balances that bring new, sinister details to the fore, brasses that cut like a Russian icestorm, a violently lurching Danse sacrale. Everywhere, there's a vivid sense of theatre that Gergiev seems to be downloading from the dozens of Russian operas that he has been reviving (Philips).
