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.

Mussorgsky's pieces sound like they'd be on some scary tv shows and movies. I know alot of them were lol. Great stuff. Clean and clear :)

Thank you for providing such a high quality version, and a great performance as well. As far as I can tell.

Thank you uploading this wonderful music!

@elainebmack

matthew nelms.  Mussorgsky's music was indeed used in scary TV shows and films.  In fact, there was a Friday night horror film series in Chicago during the 70's called "Screaming Yellow Theater", that used several clips from "Pictures at an Exhibition" the piece this Old Castle is from.  Listen to the whole piece, and you will be amazed.  Enjoy!
