[ARSCLIST] Valéry Gergiev

[Lewanne Jones <lewanne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am looking for completed documentaries (video or film) about the  
Russian conductor and opera company director, Valery Gergiev (born  
1953). He is general director of the Mariinsky Theatre and also  
associated with the Metropolitan Opera, the Rotterdam Philharmonic  
Orchestra, and the London Symphony Orchestra.

He became chief conductor and artistic director of the Mariinsky in  
1988. In 1995 he became principal conductor of the Rotterdam  
Philharmonic Orchestra, and in 1997, principal guest conductor of the  
Metropolitan Opera in New York City.  Gergiev has also been a  
consistent supporter of peace in the Caucasus, particularly in the  
conflict between the Georgian central government and South Ossetia.

I am interested in film or video docs (or TV news / magazine  
coverage) that have interviews, biography material, rehearsal  
coverage - not filmed performances of Gergiev conducting.  Any leads  
on collections with such coverage most appreciated.

(By the way, I am already aware of the 60 minutes segment and of the  
film Valéry Gergiev : in rehearsal & performance. 1997	Chatsworth,  
CA : Image Entertainment, c2001, c1997)

Many thanks and feel free to contact me off-list.  I am interested in  
purchasing copies of these documentaries.

(apologies to those who also received this on the AMIA-L.)
