Post Subject: Modest Mussorgsky's 170 birthdayPosted by Romy the Cat on: 3/15/2009

People who read my site know that I consider Mussorgsky as the most remarkable naturally talented composer among all composers guild. Next week it will be the Modest’s 170 birthday and my WGBH will broadcast Oliver Knussen leads Cleveland with Leopold Stokowski's "Boris Godunov" - Symphonic Synthesis, based on Boris Godunov. Wow, Stoky did the Godunov’s suites!!! I never knew it and it was what I also was pitching, claiming that it MUST to be composed. I am so enthusiastic to hear it as I have my own version! Did anybody hear the Stokowski's versions? Any recommendations for existing recordings. Did Stokowski's conduct his own orchestras with this work? I never was a fun of Stokowski's Mussorgsky and I am VERY fascinated what he did with Godunov.
