Free Music Notes for Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition
Free Music Review: Chicago and Reiner at their best
Hit: 5 Stars
It is difficult to put into words how much I enjoy this music. While I realized that this had been recorded in the 50's and I was prepared for some background noise, what I received instead was a kind of majesty and purpose that is difficult to find today in an orchestra or its conductor. There is no doubt about the glorious interpretation of this music and the orchestra is likewise single minded.
I freely admit that I purchased this CD realizing that my only copy on digital vinyl left me tied to my listening room at home. I also freely admit that I purchased this with the intent on revenge against the Mustangs playing what passes for music these days, a cacophony of filthy lyrics and vulgar pounding. I have to say that the result is both worthwhile and pleasurable, watching people with their baseball caps on backwards cringe at the sound of a real orchestra. Such is true delight!
In addition, I have found that when I arrive at a destination with this CD, I almost always finish listening to the selection before exiting the car, even when it makes me a few minutes late. There are few pleasures in life beyond music that, even though hopelessly romantic and idealized, stirs the soul and helps us focus on greater things. If nothing else, this recording is a sharp contrast to the shoddy values of the modern age, both in content and execution.
