ALL HAIL THE KING

[KatarraParson]

This man was so ahead of his time....

[PigPenguin91]

This piece is rather epic, and a great recording! I really want to play this piece, but at the moment it's far too hard.

[dinosaur521]

This is my favorite piece

[shadowassassin71]

he's defiantly not modest!

[thegunzman12]

i like most of the song from him like the promenade

[tanello2]

song is so good that i downloaded it from youtube!

[TheRekisum]

@tanello2 Thank you very much my dear friend, Gerhard

[taleylon11]

why is he playing it so slow?

[TheRekisum]

@taleylon11 The tempo prescribed by Mussorgsky for the first part is "Allegro alla breve. Maestoso. Con grandezza". The last part beginning bar 114 is "Meno mosso, sempre maestoso".

@Patibularius

World English Dictionary: "Fat"

4. the best or richest part of something

That way, moussorgsky is really fat :)

[matador5135]

This one is one of my favorite pieces.

[PigPenguin91]

I want to play this piece so badly! Too bad it's way too hard. Maybe in another 10 or so years.. :P

[godDIEmanLIVE]

Russian composers are the shit. Just awesome.

[annikee59]

Ever since the 70s I can't avoid remembering the lyrics ELP added. Makes me crazy.

[Pini3012]

Durch Herr Eckle habe ich die klassische Musik erst richtig schätzen gelernt! Ich hätte ihm stundenlang zuhören können, wenn er Klavier gespielt hat! Er war einer der besten Lehrer, die ich je hatte! Vielen Dank für den beeindruckenden Musikunterricht Herr Eckle! Nadine Nießing

[TheRekisum]

@Pini3012 Liebe Nadine, über Deinen außerordentlich wohlwollenden Eintrag habe ich mich sehr gefreut. Ich kann mich noch sehr gut an Dich erinnern und habe dabei immer die schönsten Erinnerungen. Der Lehrer allein ist gar nichts ohne so symphatische und tüchtige Schülerinnen wie Du. Ich wünsche Dir von ganzem Herzen das Allerbeste, Dein alter Lehrer Gerhard

[PigPenguin91]

This piece is just plain awesome. I'd love to play it someday, although it's definitely way, way too hard for any time in the near future.

[netedco]

this one is on my target, even that I've never did pieces with complex chords!

[Vesdrajo]

meraviglioso!

[TheRekisum]

@Vesdrajo Many thanks

[Gaul1748]

I believe the first time I heard this (orchestrated) was in an Air Force barracks in Salina, KS. I was very impressed with its majestic grandeur.

[bluetard117]

I think this recording is just about as great as most orchestral recordings I've heard of this. Fucking awesome :)

[TheRekisum]

@bluetard117 Thank you very much for this compliment

[jatuhcintalagi1]

Mussorgsky is fat

[zralokvemigraci]

@jatuhcintalagi1 he's as fat as he's genial.

[gunzcontrol]

@jatuhcintalagi1 this portrait was panted just few days before his death, he suffered from alcoholism complications.

[Judenification]

@jatuhcintalagi1 ahahahaha, and this is the top comment? mad...

[spinynorman230]

it's much better in a HUGE orchestra in my opinion, we're playing it in our school bad.

[aarond961]

My reaction every time I hear this movement is :) without fail. In my brief 19 years, I've never heard a solo piano performance of the movement and it's as beautiful as it is from a full orchestra

[TheRekisum]

@aarond961 Thank you very much for this Compliment

[AchilleDebussy]

@TheRekisum What do you mean? The performer name is there. I haven't changed it.

[Konbanha]

The "Pictures at an exhibition" it is a huge form of music.It is almost perfect. I recommend it for you, people. Chapeau bas, monsieur Mussorgsky !

[PlaystationNation2k9]

although the portrait of him does him no good at all (looks like he's been in prison half his life) he sure was talented though, ilove the entire record. my favourite is Promenade 2 + The Old Castle

[TheRekisum]

A great performance. Its melodious coherence is evocative of the spirit of Mussorgskij`s music at its best. Thanks for the presentation. More "Pictures" of this recording would be welcome.

[cuoylyf]

@TheRekisum Wonderful performance my dear Gerhard Eckle, Congratulations, love ever, Isis
