Valery Gergiev
Maestro Valery Gregiev is, in the eyes of many, the greatest conductor working today and is considered a real phenomenon in the world of conducting. Gregiev has mesmerized crowds of music lovers across the globe and in Israel with his charismatic and creative personality, the originality of his conducting and his ongoing search for meaning and depth in each and every musical peace he conducts.
