He strove to achieve a uniquely Russian musical identity, often in deliberate defiance of the established conventions of Western Music. Many of his major works were inspired by Russian history, Russian folklore, and other national themes, including the great music drama Boris Godunov, the orchestral tone poem A Night on the Bare Mountain, and the piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition. For many years Mussorgsky's works were mainly known in versions revised or completed by other composers. Many of his most important compositions have recently come into their own in their original forms, and some of the original scores are now also available.

After listening to this breathtaking performance ,
I might have a dream of Mussorgsky walking in the crowds of somecity in Russia , talking to Ravel ,
I am a person who believes in reincarnation and the immortality of the soul
I was certainly seeing Mussorgsky and Ravel in the crowds of somecity in Mother Russia ,
I give Mussorgsky and Ravel a great admiration

I played this 40 years ago in orchestra, and can still remember what my movements were. I played violin.

Our school orchestra played this. Considering the oldest player was 13 I reckon we did a pretty good job. At the age of 63 I'm still in touch with some of those musicians. Its not a piece you forget in a hurry. I was a flautist in those days.

shop99er I'll play it in Milan on 8th April... wish me good luck!😄😄

I just want to share something. This song played on my way home from the hospital on the day my son was born almost two years ago. It perfectly encapsulates the emotion I felt that day and it still moves me to tears whenever I hear it. The wonder of fatherhood, life and love is magnified by this work of divine art.

Hope you've stopped crying bro

In my high school orchestra we'd play this at the very end of the senior graduation ceremonies. Finally after 4 years I was able to walk the graduation and hear this song as I exited high school and took my first steps into the unknown.
