[quote user="mats"]Good to hear about your week with Mussorgsky Romy. I came upon a mono Leibowitz / RPO RCA the other day. It has its moments IMHO. There seems also to be a new HMV Richter Sofia recital cd from HMV:

Last week I did not have a change to play music home but during this weekend I eventually had a change to spin some records. I bought last week a record that I was hunting for a while and was eagerly expected to hear it. It was Nicolay Golovanov’s pe...

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 ...

Yes, in a way. To me, if to convert Mussorgsky to visual image it sounds like the Delacroix’s illustration to Goethe's Mephistopheles:
Anyhow, you might try to find the Pictures and the Mountain in their original version; I personally think the rear...

Was Argerich and Abbado the artistic match made in haven? The best play that Argerich ever released on record was with Claudio Abbado....BTW, I usually am very cooled in whatever Gergiev does...The caT...

Does all Mussorgsky music, operas included, sound like this: http://webzoom.freewebs.com/joshrogan/NOSBUCKET.png ?I love it! :-)I've been without Mussorgsky until today, when I picked up the Pictures (never liked them before for some reason) and...

Nice thread about old Boris. Like you I have no problem with R-K's version of the opera. Once Mussorgsky added the Polish scenes and all the romantic cooing he moved the opera into 19th C grand opera for which R-K was perfectly attuned and did a good...

I have a recording of Abbado with Berlin. When I got it, it was invaluable in US and I remember I paid a lot of money for it. I do not like how this Berlin pays the piece; still it gives some idea about the Mussorgsky original version. I think the Be...

My friends, considering my heritage, frequently ask me about my suggestions regarding “Boris Godunov” and I decided to compile a little and highly opinioned (no surprised here!) “surviving guide” about this opera.
It is well-known and well-told stor...

How smart James Levine was to put the BERLIOZ-MUSSORGSKY program for tonight. They are begged to come along together!
Tonight at Tanglewood:

[quote user="steverino"]I always thought that Stokowski was very attuned to Mussorgsky. I think he was the first conductor of the original Boris Godunov version by Mussorgsky as opposed to the R-K orchestration. His Boris Suites are a good "synthesis...

With a great sadness I learned that last month Brian Cheney of VMPS passed away from cancer. VMPS, his company, closed the door with Brian death after 35 years of operation. My feeling about Brian death is similar to what Mussorgsky felt when Hartman...

I was listening this morning the Bavarian Radio Symphony touring
Taiwan played Dvorák and Mussorgsky a few days back and once again I was stricken how much
I love the Bydlo from the Mussorgsky 's Picture.

After a week I am still under impression of the Benjamin Zander’s broadcast of Bruckner Fifth. The Fifth is the symphony that I never “got” and never liked. Whatever I heard was kind of boring, even if it was live. A month or so ago WGBH broadcasted ...

A film director Alexander Sokurov, the Andrei Tarkovsky’s pupil, will direct the Bolshoi's new production of "Boris Godunov. In April 27". I hope it will be proporly filmed and made available.

As far as I know the Matacic discography never was made available. A few weeks ago a fellow at other (more amorphous) forum – Mr. Makopolus - published his list that I find worth to be preserved and publicized. So he is it: the Matacic discogra...

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 Cleve...
