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.

Such a brilliant interpretation...
As for me...this is the most...visual, composition ever writen.
Pictures at an exhibition, has always made me feel like a long drawn closed curtain is suddenly opened.
Makes me smile.

PS, best of all,
As a kid... I first became acquainted with this piece of music thanks to Emerson, Lake and Palmers interpretation.

When I think of Mussorgsky'states the life , which was never rewarded and he died in poverty , I can't stop shedding tears ,
This Mussorgsky's masterpiece , exquisitely arranged by the genius Ravel , is comfortable to the mind and the ear
This masterpiece will transcend time , race , nation and space , and will continue living forever

Especially in the context of Tsar Vladimir's invasion, going on 6 months now. 🇺🇦

Especially now when Kyiv as it is now, as the Capital of Ukraine, is fighting for its very existence & that of its integrity as a European nation.

I have not heard this orchestration before, but I like it a lot. The tempo of the promenade, though--we must be running through that art gallery!

I miss the power of the percussion section in this performance - otherwise it's great.
