Isao Tomita Night On Bare Mountain (Modest Petrovic Mussorgsky)

Modest Petrovic Mussorgsky:
Isao Tomita from album Firebird (1975)

Tuve la fortuna de tener la grabación cuadrafónica... Alucinante oirla y sentir el movimiento del sonido brincando de izquierda a derecha y de adelante a atrás. Excelente música.

Die Bearbeitungen von Tomita habe ich ungefähr 1977/78 kennengelernt. Die Klangvielfalt war verblüffend, einfallsreich, teils witzig und immer phantasieanregend. Und wenn ich es mir jetzt anhöre, schmeckt es immer noch. Habe immer wieder meine Freude daran.

The beginning genuinely invoked terror into me

Sayonara and domo arigato, Tomita miss you. Well take it from here

Thank you for such wonderful music (Isao Tomita 1932 - 2016)

Esta música es depresiva pero nunca ha dejado de gustar

[marcelocortes]

Firebird el mejor álbum de tomita a mi parecer

How did Tomita make this made in 1975!? I wouldn't be the least bit surprised of this track inspired the Gremlins theme.

Compared to Firebird Suite, I always thought this very poor. But then again I don't like Black Masses, Witches and The Underworld stories. As to why they were popular with 19th century composers and recent English rock stars living in mansions, I don't care, but they're not the full shilling mentally or artistically in my way of seeing things. Was listening to a Melodiya double cd "orchestral pictures" recently and I didn't like it (including this) at all, except Mussorgsky's Dawn on Moscow River from Kovischina (or however it is that one spells such things). Things. Tomita's "Mr Rubber Man Vocals as Bass Lines" are funny, though..."actually" the orchestration isn't so bad here, perhaps, I think it was the version of Debussy's afternoon of a faun that convinced me that this album had a terrible B-side. Maybe that's why I've hesitated in getting the piece of plastic called "The CD" but even those things are hard to come by these days. Days. Not in The Underworld. But with beating hearts telling the brain things...Things. Oh heck...I better get this cd someday. All "I have" is a slightly mangled cassette copy copied on to a minidisc, then copied on to a cd-r...but will a recent cd pressing have the same vibe? The Bermuda Triangle cd has a more bass and compressed sound to the original slightly mangled cassette version I heard first...hmm....decisions, decisions...archaic an exciting existence I do or do not have listening to music (like this?)
