Janurary 2008
Gergiev's reading of arguably the greatest classical ballet ever written has been tailored very specifically to the Mariinsky Theatre's performing version of the score. The word 'classical' colours the whole reading; poise and restraint become the watchwords with the rear of the orchestra - brass and percussion - generally quite subdued.
