At the beginning of this video you can see young Alexei Sultanov which did not missed to the 3nd round of this competition.

this performance is O.K.

This is one of the great moments from my favorite documentary of all time.
I first saw this when it aired on Nova just after the 1986 competition in Moscow and watched it often. I recorded it on Super Betamax.
Until I saw this performance I never knew that Ravel's orchestrated piece wasn't the original. The original piano score as interpreted by Barry Douglas has a raw power, and emotional tenderness a symphony with all its depth can't match.

I first heard this piece in Ravel's orchestrated form, and for the longest time listened to it only in that version, unable to believe the piano version could match up. I even tried listening to the piano version, but couldn't. It wasn't until I attended a couple live performances of it until I realized how although the orchestration is fantastic, colorful, and fills the hall, the original piano version is a masterpiece!!

Well actually you're all idiots, Moussorgsky didn't write this peice as any particular political statement. Quite simply, it was written as a tone poem to a picture drawn by his friend Victor Hartman, the sound reflects the drawing done by his friend. Even in the original picture Hartman drew, he drew it with a bell tower, and the music actually reflects this. Also, the actual updated gate was never built.
