The Influential Valery Gergiev
Russian conductor Valery Gergiev is the only classical musician to make the 2010 "Time 100" list, Time magazine's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Gergiev exerts his influence on orchestras and audiences alike, and there's no doubting his passion, and the depth of feeling he inspires when he conducts. We'll hear Gergiev inspiring the London Symphony Orchestra in a concert performance of "Jeux," by Claude Debussy; music for a flirtatious ballet set on a tennis court.
