Gergiev clearly regards his live recordings as fleeting events that happen to have been captured for posterity. In that light, his new recording of the Sixth Symphony bears a particular burden of association: it was made last year on September 3, the day when news broke of the massacre by terrorists of young children in Beslan. Gergiev, who has a personal tie to the region, is plainly reluctant or perhaps simply unable to go into any detail about that recording.
