“A DVD of Sir Georg conducting the first concert by the World Orchestra for Peace and a CD conducted by his designated successor, Valery Gergiev. Two for the price of one and wonderful performances by a dream orchestra, whose players sound as if they have been together for years (the players are not the same on the two discs). Solti starts off with a superbly exciting "William Tell Overture" and gives a wonderfully poetic interpretation of Bartok's "Concerto for Orchestra". "La Mer" is the highlight of Gergiev's concert but "Petrushka" is vivid and exciting too.He is the only living conductor worthy to be mentioned in the same breath as Solti. This was my personal "Record of the Year, 2005
“This rousing disc of great music sells for pennies at Amazon Marketplace, although I don't know if every seller is including the bonus DVD featuring Georg Solti in the William Tell Over. and the Bartok Concerto for Orchestra. Gergiev's contribution is inspired. There's no other way on records to hear his La Mer, so full of energy and (unusually for this work) outward emotion. The orchestra, a compilation of the world's select orchestras, sounds as fine as you'd expect.
I'm sorry for the back-handed reviewer who finds the Mendelssohn too fast--it's not, being as lively and effervescent reading of the Scherzo from A Midsummer Night's Dream as one could hope for. The excellence of Gergiev's Petrushka is a given. This particular live performance begins breathlessly fast, a far cry from Monteux's classic recording with the Boston Sym., and Gergiev conducts in broad outline quite often rather than emphasizing detail--this is propulsive music-making that doesn't try to be slow enough for ballet.
In all, an extremely generous CD/DVD pairing whose proceeds go to world peace. But even if they didn't, the cause of peace is beautifully served by the spirit of these concerts.” cyt. Amazon.com
