For Gergiev, it is a matter of pride that over the last few years his recordings have been almost exclusively made at live concerts. As he points out, live recordings are inevitably "more truthful" than studio recordings which, all too often, are cosmetic creations in pursuit of a "perfect" or idealized performance: "I don't deny that there are great opportunities for artists to make good recordings in the studio; but there's also no denial that there are many recordings of performances made in public which, because of the energy that's there, are often more valid, more exciting 10 or 20 years later than in the case with studio recordings."
