About This Programme
Valery Gergiev's leadership as Artistic and General Director of the Mariinsky Theatre has brought universal acclaim to this world famous institution. Hailed as "the world's most charismatic conductor" by The Financial Times, he is also Principal Conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra and Principal Guest Conductor of the Metropolitan Opera.

One of the world's most acclaimed orchestras, the Mariinsky Orchestra is a model of disciplined playing, rich in perspective and personality. The thrillingly vivid playing has captivated audiences around the world for over two centuries, and the HKAF programme is designed to show off the Orchestra's full strength.

The second, all-Russian concert is very personal to Maestro Gergiev, featuring symphonies by two Russian composers that he champions - Prokofiev and Shostakovich, as well as the delightfully diabolic Baba Yaga by Liadov.

Programme
Liadov            Baba Yaga, Op 56
Prokofiev       Symphony No 1 in D, Op 25, Classical
Shostakovich  Symphony No 7 in C, Op 60, Leningrad
