Valery Gergievs Twitter-Konto posaunt es in alle Welt: Während der Saison 2013/13 hat der Maestro 261 Vorstellungen dirigiert! Kein Wunder, dass Forbes errechnetre, der Vielbeschäftigte Truthahn-Aktionär verdiene 16,5 Millionen Dollar im Jahr. Hier ist die komplette Statistik:
Last Tuesday Valery Gergiev has conducted the final concert of his season, which he started last August. In the 2012/13 season he conducted a total of 261 performances with 14 orchestras.
Four fifths of his performances (202) were with the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra (including the ones alongside the Mariinsky Ballet, Mariinsky Opera and Mariinsky Chorus).
Maestro Gergiev conducted the London Symphony Orchestra (of which he is Principal Conductor) on 32 occasions.
In the 2012/13 season he continued his long-term collaboration with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest, World Orchestra for Peace (for the first time in the USA), Die Münchner Philharmoniker (of which he will assume the position of Principal Conductor in 2015), Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala and Teatro alla Scala.
Valery Gergiev was the first conductor who conducted and took on tour the newly founded National Youth Orchestra of the USA. In the 2012/13 season he also appeared with the Novaya Rossiya State Symphony Orchestra, Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestra of Teatro Colón, Oxford Philomusica , Verbier Festival Orchestra and Royal Scottish National Orchestra. A half (129) of Valery Gergiev’s performances took place in Russia, 85 of them were in St Petersburg.
Für diese Aktivitäten streicht Gergiev ganz schön viel Geld ein: Forbes hat errechnet, dass er im vergangenen Jahr auf ein Einkommen von 16,5 Millionen Dollar kam. Dieses Geld kommt nicht nur aus dem Dirigieren und sonstigen musikalischen Aktivitäten, sondern auch aus Anlagen. Er soll u.a. eine 15-prozentige Beteiligung an einer landwirtschaftlichen Firma namens Evrodon halten, die Russland größter Truthahn-Produzent ist.
