Top-tier artists from around the world gather primarily at London’s Royal Albert Hall for a series of concerts spanning approximately two months.\nThis DVD features footage from Gergiev’s appearance on August 5, 2010. The program consisted of Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 (55’87) and Symphony No. 5 (67’60)—a weighty and substantial program. Gergiev has previously released recordings of these Symphonies No. 4 and No. 5 as part of his Mahler series with the London Symphony Orchestra, and his ambitious and stimulating interpretations have already been proven. Here, he presents a moving performance in the glamorous atmosphere of the Royal Albert Hall with the World Orchestra for Peace, a group of skilled musicians gathered from around the world.\nThe Fourth is one of the most accessible of Mahler’s symphonies and features truly beautiful music. Gergiev delivers a meticulous and delicate performance with great care. The soprano solo in the fourth movement features Swedish singer Camilla Tilling, who sings heavenly music with a beautiful, crystalline voice.\nIn Symphony No. 5, I was truly impressed by the high quality of the brass section, starting with the opening trumpet fanfare. The strings built a three-dimensional ensemble, creating an incredibly beautiful sound. The orchestra members responded to Gergiev’s baton, resulting in a moving concert filled with vivid expression.\nThe World Orchestra for Peace (WOP), performing here, was founded in 1995 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the United Nations, led by the world-renowned conductor Georg Solti. It brings together musicians from around the world who share a desire for peace. The bonus footage includes a documentary commemorating the 15th anniversary of WOP’s founding.\nKing International\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"C Major","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595605860641,"sku":"814337010263","price":5290.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/814337010263.jpg?v=1790481889","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/814337010263","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
