Mussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition - 5 • Volker Hartung conducts Junge Philharmonie Koeln

[MichaSchlechtriem]

The tempo is just right!

Sensationell, and I mean this earnest:

This is one of the VERY few recordings where the Conductor really gets the bass drum stroke OFTIME at 5:23

AS WRITTEN!

I am a professional and have played this work a lot of times and for sure know a lot of recordings. But I never hear this bass drum stroke as written.

Thanks for this!

Ensemble playing is not as good in this last clip as in the others, but I know how difficult this work is.

Bravi and thanks,

Michael

How is it that part one has 8,000 views, and this part only 2,000? Why would so many people turn away from such an incredible song?

[Mercenist]

teared up at the end of this one.

Schön! Super Orchester!

[maestrohartung]

That's right!! Fast is so much easier to perform, but slow so much more profound!
