The sound of greatness: Valery Gergiev and the Stradivarius Ensemble at Toronto's Koerner Hall

Stanley Fefferman, 26th October

The Mariinsky Orchestra are great, because Valery Gergiev arranges a schedule that only the great could sustain. In the two weeks before they arrived in Toronto, his musicians played six performances of Swan Lake in Berkeley, California. Then Gergiev took them back to St Petersburg (October 15–23) to play the operas Boris Godunov and Aida.
