5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully characterful Pictures., 26 April 2003
By Steve (Huddersfield, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
The National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine is an excellent band, and here they turn in marvellously characterised performances of Pictures at an Exhibition. They play with more spirit than many 'big-name' orchestras-the brass section has a wonderfully deep sound and I very much like the chirpy woodwind.The recording is astonishingly good-don't think because the disc's cheap you have to make any allowances. The final 'picture', The Great Gate of Kiev really packs a punch! An excellent disc regardless of price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb performances and recording., 7 April 2003
By Steve (Huddersfield, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
The National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine are in competion with virtually every great orchestra in the world in these pieces, but don't let any unfamiliarity with the artists put you off. These are cracking performances; Pictures at an Exhibition receives the finest I've heard on disc.
This is in fact a very fine orchestra, and under Kuchar they deliver performances brimming with character. The brass section is wonderfully deep in 'Catacombae', the woodwinds chirp humourously in the 'Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks' and the whole band skips along in 'Market Place at Limoges'. In fact the whole piece is delivered with a character often lacking in accounts by more famous orchestras. The recording is brilliant-you really don't have to make any allowances for Naxos these days. And the final 'Great Gate of Kiev' will blow your socks off! These performers have this music in their blood, and to top it all they include two versions of 'Night on a Bare Mountain'. (The Rimsky-Korsakov arrangement is the better).

All this for a fiver!! BUY!

4.0 out of 5 stars Brash and daring music, 11 Jan 2005
By E. Porter-daniels "Irenicas" (Reading, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this cd for one track - Night on Bald Mountian. This one piece of music is so inventive, so impressive, so invigorating, that I would happily pay this amount for a cd with just this one track on it.
But it gets better! Not only does it include this fantastic track, it has two versions of the track, plus the entirety of "Pictures at an Exhibition" another wonderful treat. It also icludes two of his lesser known pieces, that while don't measure up to these other goliaths of classical music, are worth listening to.

Mussorgsky at his best. I recommend you play "night on bald mountain" very loud on a good stereo system - only then can you truly appreciate the brilliance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mussorgsky at its best
I read a lot of classical reviews before settling on this version of Pictures at an Exhibition. They were right. This is an excellent version of this piece of music. Read more
