Modest Mussorgsky - Night on Bald Mountain (Arr. Rimsky-Korsakov)

Updated: 17 Nov 2012

Night on Bald Mountain is a composition by Modest Mussorgsky that exists in, at least, two versions, a seldom performed 1867 version or a later (1886) and very popular "fantasy for orchestra" arranged by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. A Night on the Bare Mountain (Ночь на лысой горе, Noch' na lysoy gorye), based on the vocal score of the "Dream Vision of the Peasant Lad" (1880) from The Fair at Sorochyntsi with some revisions, most notably the omission of the choir. There is also a version orchestrated by twentieth-century conductor Leopold Stokowski; this is the version used in the now-classic 1940 Walt Disney animated film Fantasia. Inspired by Russian literary works and legend, Mussorgsky made a witches' sabbath the theme of the original tone poem, completed on 23 June 1867 (St. John's Eve). St. John's Night on the Bare Mountain and Rimsky-Korsakov's "musical picture" Sadko (also composed in 1867) share the distinction of being the first tone poems by Russian composers. As with so much of Mussorgsky's music, the work had a tortuous compositional history and was arranged after his death in 1881 by his friend and fellow member of The Mighty Handful Rimsky-Korsakov. It was never performed in any form during Mussorgsky's lifetime. The Rimsky-Korsakov edition premiered in 1886, and has become a concert favorite.

Modest Mussorgsky - Ivan Shishkin - Prelude to Khovanshchina

Ivan Shishkin is one of my beloved Russian landscape painters. His paintings are looking like photos. Immense, huge photos. Even when you are close to the paintings it is incredible what you see as brushstrokes, so refined, so exactly precisely on the right place. The Russian Soul is in it. Nature, combined with Russian music is even more explaining that what the Russian soul might be. It is a touch, created by those who have it, had it. It will never die. Mussorgsky: 1836-1881 Shishkin: 1832 - 1898 Their art is eternal. About the Russian Soul: it is also called the Slavic Soul, because Russia has been devided into many sovereign countries, all part once of Mother Russia, and so they are all a part from the famous Russian Soul. To neutralize the word it is now called more and more the Slavic Soul. About the Russian Soul / Slavic Soul: en.wikipedia.org About Ivan Shishkin: en.wikipedia.org About Mussorgsky: en.wikipedia.org About Khovanshchina: Khovanshchina is an opera, composed by Modest Mussorgsky, between 1872 and 1880. Prelude to Khovanshchina tells about the Sunrise on the Moscow River. The music from this video is a copy from another one, and there were no adds about the name of the orchestra. The conductor is Claudio Abbado. It is a live concert, as you can hear on some moments, when sombody is coughing. The reason that I chose this performance is the interpretation. There are some which are slower, on some moments faster, and Claudio Abbado's interpretation is the ...

Pictures at an Exhibition (Russian: Картинки с выставки -- Воспоминание о Викторе Гартмане, Kartinki s vystavki -- Vospominaniye o Viktore Gartmane, "Pictures from an Exhibition -- A Remembrance of Viktor Hartmann") is a suite in ten movements composed for piano by Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky in 1874. The suite is Mussorgsky's most famous piano composition, and has become a showpiece for virtuoso pianists. It has become further known through various orchestrations and arrangements produced by other musicians and composers, with Ravel's arrangement being the most recorded and performed. It was probably in 1870 that Mussorgsky met artist and architect Viktor Hartmann. Both men were devoted to the cause of an intrinsically Russian art and quickly became friends. Their meeting was likely arranged by the influential critic Vladimir Stasov who followed both of their careers with interest. Mussorgsky based his musical material on drawings and watercolours by Hartmann produced mostly during the artist's travels abroad. Locales include Poland, France and Italy; the final movement depicts an architectural design for the capital city of Ukraine. The first person to orchestrate the piece in its entirety was the Slovenian-born conductor and violinist Leo Funtek, who finished his version in 1922 while living and working in Finland. The version by Maurice Ravel, also produced in 1922, represents a virtuoso effort by a master colourist. The orchestration, commissioned by Serge ...

It was probably in 1870 that Mussorgsky met artist and architect Viktor Hartmann. Both men were devoted to the cause of an intrinsically Russian art and quickly became friends. Hartmann died from an aneurysm in 1873. The sudden loss of the artist, aged only 39, shook Mussorgsky along with others in Russia's art world. Stasov helped organize an exhibition of over 400 Hartmann works in the Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg, Russia in February and March 1874. Mussorgsky lent works from his personal collection to the exhibit and viewed the show in person. Fired by the experience, he composed Pictures at an Exhibition in six weeks. Mussorgsky based his musical material on drawings and watercolours by Hartmann produced mostly during the artist's travels abroad. Locales include Poland, France and Italy; the final movement depicts an architectural design for the capital city of Ukraine. Movements: 0 ...

Updated: 10 Nov 2012

onlineguitaracademy.net - The opening movement in Mussorgsky's suite for piano, the Promenade depicts a man who roams an exhibition honoring a deceased artist, searching for a treasured work that he had admired in the past. The entire orchestral suite describes the paintings that the man sees as he browses through the gallery. Pictures at an Exhibition is Mussorgsky's tribute to a dear friend, the artist Viktor Hartmann, who had passed away suddenly the year before Mussorgsky composed the suite. Its most famous incarnation is the orchestral suite arranged by Maurice Ravel. This guitar transcription takes the work back to its roots as a suite for a solo instrument. The classical guitar, with its plethora of tone colors, dynamic variations, and range of pitches, is more than equal to the task.

Promenade, 1. The Gnome, Promenade, 2. The Old Castle This is the first part of Modest Mussorgsky's piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition (Картинки с выставки Воспоминание о Викторе Гартмане), played by British virtuoso Jonathan Plowright. It was recorded live at the Wigmore Hall, London on Saturday 15th November 2008. The performance has been divided into 5 parts for presentation on YouTube. Svyatoslav Richter has called Pictures at an Exhibition "the most profound Russian piano composition". Ed Keohane writes: "Modest Mussorgsky was one of the Mighty Handful, a group of five composers who wished to write music true to the culture of Russia. He was born in 1839 to a wealthy father and a musical mother, who taught him piano from the age of six. Mussorgsky went on to study in St Petersburg, before enrolling in cadet school to prepare him for a career as an army officer. All this time he had been writing music, but it was his friendship with another young army officer, César Cui, that led to his introduction to Mili Balakirev, who soon began teaching Mussorgsky composition. "At the beginning of 1874 his most famous opera, Boris Godunov, received its premiere at the Mariinsky Theatre. Despite its success with the public, Mussorgsky was dismayed by the critical reviews and traditionally this year is believed to mark a decline in his musical output. This view is completely at odds with the music that he was producing, however, which includes two song cycles Sunless, and Songs ...
