London Symphony Orchestra/Gustavo Gimeno

Here’s a chance to hear the original untamed version of Mussorgsky’s Night on the Bare Mountain (the version most often performed today was heavily edited and lushly orchestrated by Rimsky-Korsakov). Mussorgsky’s own vision, on the other hand, is rawer, its harmonies stranger, its textures more eerie, conjuring a frenzied witches’ sabbath in gripping style.
