(5 out of 5 stars)

"I am currently in the process of building my library of classical music, so I decided to buy this album containing some of Mussorgsky's most famous works. I studied Modest Mussorgsky (1839-1881) in my Music Literature class, and "Pictures at an Exhibition" was one of the works examined in our textbook. All that is to say that I am quite satisfied with my purchase of this album! The overall sound quality is superb, and the performances from the Prague Symphony Orchestra are crisp. The wonderful "Pictures at an Exhibition" is performed in its entirity. The album concludes with the original version of "Night on Bald Mountain," which should be a treat for Mussorgsky purists! I highly recommend this to those who are beginning to have an interest in classical music. It also makes for a solid and enjoyable musical introduction to the works of one of Russia's most prolific Romantic composers."
