In the Thread: How Mussorgsky should sound!
Post Subject: The day #4 in my “Mussorgsky Week”.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 3/29/2007

The peoples who know me know that I “secretly” consider Mussorgsky as one of the most gifted natural composures even lived. To me listening Mussorgsky, in his original orchestration, is absolutely devilish fun.

In my own listening habits I usually from time to time (now for instance) dive into the “Mussorgsky week” when I listen only Mussorgsky’s sound. The Mussorgsky’s sound, once again: if it was not “brushed” by Rimsky-Korsakov or anyone else, is absolutely unique. I has very little resemblance to any other composers and it has more to do with “sound” of the prime tribes in Africa or the “sound” of the animals “prime scream”…

I love to be in my Mussorgsky Week. Usually during this period I develop affinity for unshaved women, walking instead of driving, eating a lot of sensual sushi and drink the things with a lot of unfiltered pulp…. 

The famed music critic of the end of 19 century Herman Laroche once was bitching that during the premier of Boris Godunov the audiences were not able to distinct the wrong notes played by orchestra from the wrong notes that were intentionally composed by Mussorgsky… As far as I concern it is one the greatest compliment to the composers…
