Pamela Moberg Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 It was announced this evening that the conductor Valery Gergiev has been awarded the The Polar Prize for music. The modern recipient is Led Zeppelin!!! The Polar Prize is something akin to the Nobel Prize, former recipients have been Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder in the modern section. Gergiev was awarded for his services to music and ballet. He conducted the student performance of "The Fairy Doll" which I saw in St. Petersburg years ago. I think that was a fine choice!
