Well, fortunately, I only have a few recordings by Gergiev (Tchaikovsky Symphs 4, 5 and 6). I think I may just toss them in the trash. Gergiev is a wildly erratic conductor whose overuse of rubato mars most of his work anyway. That and the fact that he is nothing more than a Commie apparatchik makes me not want to hear him anymore.

Well said. I was going to record the BBC Proms with him doing Beethoven's Missa Solemnis in C, but after this, I don't think so.
