This music was inspired by the paintings of one Victor Hartmann who only got a mention in Rimsky-Korsakov’s autobiography “My musical life” Rimsky himself orchestrated Mussorgsky ‘S Night on a bare mountain took him long while during which he had became Modest Mussorgsky to do justice to the piece.
Thanks so much for this extraordinary half-hour, which is a pretty good analogue recording for its time. I can play about and see if I can get the level of hiss down without side-effects; although whether British copyright laws would allow me to upload it here is a different question. The Berlin PO has its claws on a digital Gergiev version (doubtless HD video too) but unless you subscribe to their channel... I wonder if he plans to release a CD? There are tremendous Karajan and Solti versions here on RU-vid; but amongst living conductors in this repertoire, Gergiev seems peerless. Thanks again. :-)
32:05 what is happening with the bass drum??? and 2 times!, like with Battiston. But see please here imslp.eu/Files/imglnks/euimg/d/d0/IMSLP78809-PMLP03722-Mussorgsky_-_Pictures_at_an_Exhibition__trans._orch._-_Ravel_.pdf number 120, page 126.
Pienso que lo hace por indicación de Gergiev. En dos grabaciones más que he escuchado, pasa exactamente lo mismo. Es sólo una impresión propia, puede ser casualidad.
Ok. Gergiev is a fabulous musician and I love just about all of his work. However, I'm not digging the way he handles certain things throughout this piece; particularly dynamics. In the opening promenade, just as a for-instance, when the strings come in after the brass opening, they stay at the same place dynamically for their entire line. He could've done a lot more with that, and I'm surprised he didn't. Same goes for the Old Castle. When the strings come in after the saxophone (the saxophonist does not sound too hot btw, whoever it is) their's some dynamic movement, but not nearly enough. So much can be done with that line, and with all of these wonderful melodies (this thing is basically a showcase of Russian folk-inspired melodies that can be so incredibly moving if handled correctly). I'm surprised he didn't conduct this differently. Just two cents from a saxophonist who's performed it several times and studied many, many different recordings.
@@alvarobaltanas.pianist Hi there! A couple of my personal favorites are Sir Simon Rattle with the Berlin Philharmonic, and the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine with Theo Kuchar. Kuchar has a special talent for the big and loud; the strengths of his interpretation come out on movements like the Baba Yaga and the Great Gate of Kiev. The cleanliness of the orchestra when it plays fast AND loud is what makes this interpretation. Simon Rattle, in my opinion, doesn't interpret the 'big and loud' quite as well--not quite as musically--as some others, but his interpretation's quite good in that department nonetheless. He really shines on the more lyrical stuff. He's conducting one of the finest orchestras on the planet, too, so you gotta give them credit for the musicality. However, my absolute favorite and by far the most unique I've heard is actually Gergiev with the Munich Philharmonic. It's actually a live performance, outdoors, in Munich. He his sooo musical with dynamics, but the coolest thing about it is the way he uses tempo. He uses subtle tempo changes throughout to get the most out of phrases; the way he does it, each phrase--especially in the lyrical sections--has its own story to tell. It's genious, and while some conductors use methods like that very lightly, no one does it like Gergiev; it's like he's playing the orchestra himself, using these kinds of tempo fluctuations like a soloist would. That's part of the reason I was disappointed with the recording posted here: because I know he can do such amazing things! Check out some of those recordings!
