Currently listening to 13th Symph. of Shostakovich conducted by Gergiev leading the MTO - Gergiev is such a "rock star" - Is there another conductor now living and performing who is as "whitehot" as Gergiev? An inquiring mind wishes to know...

Maybe Gustavo Dudamel or Vasily Petrenko?

@Steve,

Bingo! Yes, Dudamel is in the same vein as Gergiev imo...


Shostakovich's "sexy opera" Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk - And Gergiev leading the MTO does such a "raunchy" reading of it...:smash::smash::smash:

@Steve,

Ahhh, I see Bruckner on your listening lists - I found that Bruckner "grew on me" - It took awhile for me to get used to his tonal language...

Bruckner's 7th Symph. conducted by Tintner began our day...

Yes, CD. I know what you mean; he's taken awhile to "grow on me as well". I've just received from Amazon an import German box set of his complete Symphonic Cycle, which I am about to delve into. Next on my German composer "to buy" list is the complete Symphonic Cycle of Gustav Mahler, as rendered by the New York Philharmonic and Maestro Bernstein.
