The energy and excitement of performances under the baton of maestro Valery Gergiev are thrilling. This performance, with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, was recorded live at the city's Doelen Hall. The programme includes Debussy's Fragments Symphoniques for D'Annunzio's mystery play Le Martyre de St Sebastien, Prokofiev's Scythian Suite, Stravinsky's Fireworks and his Piano Concerto. The soloist for Stravinsky's Piano concerto is the Georgian virtuoso Alexander Toradze, a singularly imposing figure at the keyboard.
