Mussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition (Great Gate of Kiev)

I felt like dying after the clip ended prematurely. Damn!

Check out Dudamel doing the same piece at Salzberg. Its a totally different experiece.

Not bad at all. This chamber (whomever they may be) walked through the gate pretty much intact. It is not a piece for beginners, especially the close.

Thanks for sharing :)

music for the sake of melodoius sound without the history, story, politics is stupid - when one considers the politics of Russian hegemony Musso obviously supported renders this music to the category of SICK!!!!!

haha it is really good but professionally if the musicians and the conductor did their own part in the creative process (that is to do their 'homework' and learn the music before hand) then you can definitely get this! even at the end there's a mess up and this tempo is a TAD slow but nothing disgraceful! : )

is it arrogance? Kyiv is more likely to be mispronounced and sound worse. In most languages, you have the spelling reflect the pronunciation and not the transliteration

@Mattteus phonetically Kyiv is correct

yes but people are more likely to mispronounce that

I don't comprehend how not changing the spelling is arrogant, ignorant possibly. I do, however, find it rude that you are being so condescending over an accident. I guarentee you the misspelling was unintentional and was not meant to be offensive.

@Catholicgirl420 okay ignorant - you sound cute
