Mussorgsky's pieces sound like they'd be on some scary tv shows and movies. I know alot of them were lol. Great stuff. Clean and clear :)

Thank you for providing such a high quality version, and a great performance as well. As far as I can tell.

matthew nelms.  Mussorgsky's music was indeed used in scary TV shows and films.  In fact, there was a Friday night horror film series in Chicago during the 70's called "Screaming Yellow Theater", that used several clips from "Pictures at an Exhibition" the piece this Old Castle is from.  Listen to the whole piece, and you will be amazed.  Enjoy!
