"Nothing happened on Bald Mountain, dont look into it"

I first heard this music watching "Fantasia" as a kid during WW II. The music fascinated me, but when the music turned in to Ave Maria, I couldn't stop crying. My mother thought that I was frightened by the music! I was finally able to tell her that I was so moved, that I couldn't help it. To this day, I keep waiting for the work to be "completed" with the Ave Maria. I love this, straight as it is!

Mussorgsky must have passed a really haunting night at the bald mountain to be able to compose this...

He wrote his music after nightmares. So imagine what his dreams must have been like. He is a great composer, and he should get more recognition for his work. Horror music metal man!

To those who are not informed. This orchestration was made by another great Russian composer Rimsky-Korsakov after Mussorgsky's death. The original version orchestrated by Mussorgsky himself is somewhat different, especially the end of this masterpiece. Anyway, both are magnificent.

this masterpiece creates its own adventure when you close your eyes.

Mussorgsky inanılmaz bir besteci. Her dinlediğimde beni uçsuz bucaksız yerlere götürüyor. İnanılmaz gerçekten. Böyle bir orkestrayı dağda ormanda veya distopik mekanlarda dinlemek aşırı keyif verir. Her dinlediğimde müziğin yüksek kısımları ve düşük kısımlarında çok ayrı duygular hissettiriyor. Şahane kocaman bir eser, bu eser için kendisine çok teşekkür ederim 🙏🌙

Imagine how the composer's mind would be blown finding out there exists a medium where his composition has been listened to over 10 million times, all the while being adored and discussed amongst people who have never met each other.

People: Heavy metal is some creepy evil music.
Mussorgsky: Hold my bottle.

His first name was Modest but his music was anything but.

Mussorgsky is one of my favorite composers. I can't get enough of his music.
