Shostakovich - Valery Gergiev - Symphony No.7 Mvt.2 (2/2)

@60sgeek

I'm actually a fan of Haitink's version. I think the best version ever. But I don't know all the movements performed by Gergiev. I know just this one. And I must say that I'm simply fascinated of this last part of the 2nd movement. He focuses on the accompanying parts and the main melody becomes accompanying itself. Although I had heard this symphony several hundred times (no joke), to me it sounds like a new piece.

Great interpretation. I would like to hear the rest.

I love Gergiev's expression at the last chord

valery gergiev- best of the best

The temp are slower than I expected - it doesn't hold the attention as easily as Haitink's CD.

You're right Tess. He's really a great artist.

But....are you born in 1900? So you're now 106 or 107 years old. Maybe de eldest viewer of YouTube?

[Leomerya12]

I'm surprised He/She knows how to use computers!

Gergiev is really THE maestro!!

When I see him conducting, I get touched.
