5 out of 5 stars Red-Blooded, and no holds barred!.......2001-01-12

I really wanted some kind of introduction to Mussorgsky's best on one CD, and this release here has more than met my needs. You just can't lose with a rock solid conductor like Ormandy on the podium. There's no self-conscious, post-modern restraint in these interpretations, and the selections are very generous too. Night on Bald Mountain is every bit as hell-fired and rousing as it should be, while Pictures glows with humor, variety, and panache. There is no doubt in my mind that Mussorgsky was a wild man, and Ormandy captures the breakneck danger of his music perfectly. There are some nice fillers too. I had heard the Prelude to Khovanshchina and the dances from Borodin's Prince Igor somewhere before, but I never knew what it was I was hearing. I'm glad I have them now, and you'll be too.
