MUSIC
VALERY GERGIEV IS A FAIRLY REGULAR VISITOR to Washington, thanks to a long-term arrangement he has with the Kennedy Center. The bristlingly exciting conductor will be in town a couple of times this year, conducting a wide variety of repertory (would you believe Verdi's "Falstaff"?). But he is at his best in Russian music, and if you want to hear echt Shostakovich, Gergiev's your man. He will lead his own Kirov Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre on Wednesday night in Shostakovich's Symphony No. 11 ("The Year 1905") and throw in that warhorse of warhorses, the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 as well. Alexander Toradze will be the pianist.
