Concert: This concert was recorded live from the Doelen Concert Hall in Rotterdam in September 1996. Conductor Valery Gergiev drew thrilling performances of Stravinsky’s Fireworks and Piano Concerto; and Debussy’s Le Martyre de Saint Sébastien form the orchestra. The soloist for Stravinsky’s Piano Concerto is the Russian virtuoso Aleksander Toradze, a singularly imposing figure on the concert platform.
Rehearsal: The Scythian Suite is of particular interest in that Gergiev has a personal affinity with this composition. The Scythians lived in the region of the Caucasus where Gergiev has his roots: Ossetia. The ancient myths associated with these illustrious, blood-thirsty, but highly-cultured tribal nomads are an important part of the heritage of the Ossets. Intimately filmed and informed throughout by Gergiev’s infectious passion for his work, this music-filled documentary captures the fascinating dynamics between the galvanic conductor and his orchestra, as he seeks to convey the spirit of the quintessentially Russian piece to Western musicians. Footage of rehearsals and performance are interwoven with comments from Gergiev and Oleg Prokofiev, the composer’s son; archive film material of Prokofiev; and examples of Scythian treasures in the Hermitage Museum, to create a picture of the composer and his music. The film gives a unique insight into the chemistry which exists between composer, conductor and orchestra, and the means by which a masterly performance is achieved.
