of the above mentioned pieces the "Mussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition" is pretty much the more well know item.
I have listened to various interpretations by HvK and the Berlin SO, C. DuToit with the OS de Montreal, George Szell with Cleveland Orchestra,... and then Fritz Rainer with the CSO.
Maybe as yet another case of 'ear equalization' but only Rainer's version seems to get it across with the right timing and POWER, delicacy and sheer scream and explosiveness where the pictures seemed to suggest such. Like just listen to the 'Hut on chicken legs', the Baba Yaga...
I guess the version you refer to is some FM live occasion and not accessible in the 'Wilds of Africa'.
