Pletnev's conducting is as dry and thin and unimaginative as his upper lip. Compare Pletnev to Mravinsky (sp) in Scriabin. I *think* Gergiev is a scam--an actual product of the media and swallowed whole by the weak-minded consumer, or uneasy Classical music loving males who perfer his mug on a CD cover rather than Walter, now Wendy Carlos' rather than Gergiev is a Sinopoli with a bad beard and half the imagination. How's that for an opinion?
