Customer Reviews

Great Mussorgsky and Bernstein!
This is a great CD of Mussorgsky's best known works! Pictures at an Exhibition sounds fantastic, and it makes you feel like you're looking right at the picture. Night on Bald Mountain is equally amazing, with its creepy and dark feeling to remind you of Haloween. You feel like you're watching the Night on Bald Mountain part in Fantasia. Bernstein and the NYP produce some great recordings, and this is one of their best! This is highly recommended!

Satisfying version of 'Pictures..'; liked album on the whole
I had attended a SF Symphony performance which included "Pictures At An Exhibition" as orchestrated by Ravel. I was pleasantly suprised by how much I liked that piece taken as a whole. I have always thought highly of Bernstein's interpretation, and believed I would hear a nicely played and interpreted version of 'Pictures..' Indeed, the piece is executed as I thought it would. I like Bernstein's interpretation of 'Pictures At An Exhibition', and the album, on the whole, is worth the suggested price.

Outstanding performance
Bernstein really captures the spirit of the music, from the light feel of the Unhatched chicks and the Market Place at Limoges, to the pure brawn of Bydlo, to the mysteriousness of the catacombs and the cum mortuis in liqua mortua, finishing it triumphantly with the great gate of Kiev. I've really enjoyed this production, and listen to it frequently.
