Pictures at an Exhibition / Night on the Bare Mountain

Album by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & Sir Colin Davis

This recording presents two compositions by Modest Mussorgsky, originally composed in 1874 and 1867. They employ vivid programme writing, folk-influenced melodies, unconventional harmonies and striking orchestral colours, reflecting Mussorgsky's role in the Russian nationalist school and contributing to the late 19th-century orchestral repertoire.
