"Every time I listened to the paintings in the exhibition, I didn't think it was the brilliant music that is generally commented on, but rather I felt an energy that seemed to bubble up from the depths of the earth with a very Russian dark passion, and I always wondered why. By listening to and comparing with Mussorgsky's original music with Mr. Kurumada's explanation/guidance, I was able to understand more clearly the passion and Russian roughness that he had inside, and it was truly a scale from the eyes!!! The fact that his grandmother was a serf may have had a great influence on his physical rhythm and inner life. Thank you very much for the really great commentary and interpretation."
