@brotherwally ... The published score of "Night on Bald Mountain" most generally used is the one edited and arranged by Rimsky-Korsakov, who turned it into quite a different piece. It was the one used for this recording, apart from the few changes mentioned. See the Wikipedia article on this work for confirmation! If you want the original Mussorgsky score (or scores, as there were more than one, including a choral version) you should find them here somewhere.
A wonderfully opulent and audiophile recording! Many thanks.

It's Modest Mussogrsky not Rimsky-Korsakov. I'm just saying.
