| |  | Mussorgsky - Pictures At An Exhibition (SACD)
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Paavo Järvi Paavo Järvi continues his series of Russian recordings with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra with a disc entirely devoted to works by Mussorgsky. Pictures at an Exhibition, originally composed for piano, is heard here in the orchestration by Ravel. Mussorgsy wrote pictures as a tribute to his friend, artist and architect Viktor Hartmann. The familiar Promenade theme links Mussorgsky’s imaginary tour of Hartmann’s exhibition. Rimsky-Korsakov, who felt that Night on Bald Mountain had many marvellous effects, tried to resurrect it after his friend died. He smoothed out many of the irregularities and improved the orchestration, most likely working from the final version of the piece. The Prelude to Mussorgsky’s ill-fated opera Khovanschchina is titled Dawn on the Moskva River. Mussorgsky composed much of the music for the first four acts, but orchestrated only a small amount of it. The task of orchestrating and completing the opera fell to his friend Rimsky-Korsakov. The Prelude sets the scene for Act I in the Red Square in Moscow, and uses a theme of distinctly Russian folk character, which undergoes a series of melodic variations. |

The Prelude sets the scene for Act I in the Red Square in Moscow, and uses a theme of distinctly Russian folk character, which undergoes a series of melodic variations. “Impressive gradations of brass in "Catacombs" bring real trumpet-topped "height" to the sound and incisively caught timpani and bass drum propel "Baba-Yaga" at a pace suggesting she means business.” Gramophone Magazine, 2008 Awards Issue “Satan's revels on Bare Mountain creep upon us with a fabulously controlled crescendo before unravelling with crystal-clear textures and masterful negotiations of the many tempo changes. Both here and in some of the Pictures stopped horns and trumpets strike home as never before; nor have I ever noticed the contrabassoon so prominent on the bottom line of the 'Gnomus' juggernaut.” BBC Music Magazine, November 2008 **** |
