Mariinsky Orchestra Plays Tchaikovsky at Carnegie - Review - NYTimes.com

Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra give a rousing account to the Six Tchaikovsky Symphonies here in New York in three concerts.."naturalness was the hallmark of these performances"...."Even during the bleak, intense and impassioned passages of the "Pathetique" Symphony, the playing was unstrained and inevitable. I cannot imagine more lived in and honest performances."...."In the "opening movement" of the "Pathetique'...the music emerged in staggered, heaving phrases..in the second theme of the first movement 'The strings play as a choir of equal voices....It was more a sighing of thick, textured chords"...and so on for Gergiev's original renderings of these well known works.....
