New York, NY, March 11, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Great Conductors Series

Valery Gregiev In Rehearsal & In Concert–

Sergei Prokofiev: The Scythian Suite

Kultur is proud to announce another new release in the Great Conductors Series, Valery Gregiev In Rehearsal & In Concert– Sergei Prokofiev: The Scythian Suite available on DVD March 29, 2011, for a suggested retail price of $19.99.

Prokofiev’s The Scythian Suite is of particular interest in that Gregiev has a personal affinity with this composition. The Scythians lived in the region of the Caucasus where Gregiev has his roots: Ossetia. The Ancient myths associated with these violent, but highly cultured tribal nomads are an important part of the heritage of the Ossets. Intimately filmed and informed throughout by Gergiev’s infectious passion for his work, this music-filled documentary captures the fascinating dynamics between the galvanic conductor and his orchestra as he seeks to convey this quintessentially Russian piece to Western musicians.

Footage of rehearsals and performance are interwoven with comments from Gregiev and Oleg Prokofiev, the composer’s son: archive film material of Prokofiev; and examples of Scythian treasures in the Hermitage Museum, to create a picture of the composer and his music.

The Film gives a unique insight into the chemistry which exists between, composer, conductor and orchestra and the means by which a masterly performance is achieved.
