And if you look even further you will see that the great masters also borrowed from each other.

Anyone notice the John Williams, "Indiana Jones" chords beginning @ 2:45 and then,another great film composer Bernard Herrmann ,"Jason and The Argonauts" chords, evolving into "Cape Fear" 'lines' starting @ 3:39? Yep, even these great film composers listened intently to the 'old masters' and "borrowed" from them. Just an observation.

What? That cough was specifically written in there by Mussorgsky himself, and in my opinion it greatly adds to the atmosphere.

randomness at 1:52 ;)

Beautiful and sensitive first Promenade, a lot of versions make the first Promenade simply cheerful, but this one brings out more a sense of *trying* to be cheerful, with a layer of sadness underneath. Great Gnome, too.

Great recording, except for the cough @ 8:21

[nraspopo]

Nothing better than a character portrayed by Mussorgsky

[barfingonall4s]

This was fantastic, it's too bad it couldn't have been recorded without all the bothersome people repeatedly coughing, people are shameful to continually ruin music for others.

@TheY0gaman Star Wars History 101: Lucas originally used music from the Planet Suite to accompany test shots of the film. He later collaborated with Williams who was virtually obligated to mimic the music and maintain Lucas' original vision whilst adding some brilliant additions of his own. I think he pulled it off extremely well, and has never denied that he drew very heavily from the Planets...that being said, it's NOT the Planets and he has been widely hailed as a genius.

@TheY0gaman And Holst stole from Classical composers. Most everything came from the Classical era. Big deal. Nothing is new under the sun. It's great to listen to! (and George Lucas specifically told Williams to make it sound like the Planets Suite)
