Music reviews of Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition, A Night on Bald Mountain, and Other Russian Showpieces [Hybrid SACD]
Music Review: Brillient, for the most part.
Rating: 4 Stars
I love this record. I've always loved "Pictures" but never owned a copy. When I found it was available on SACD, I had to get it since it's the best consumer distribution format I've ever heard. The recording was great in its day and still holds well over many more "technologically advanced" recordings. Really, the most of the best classical recordings are done with 2 or 3 microphones and a stereo or 3-track tape recorder. My one peve with this album is that they used some pretty heavy digital noise reduction which saps some of the life out of the string section. The horns are still clean and clear though and the percussion is as it should be. The recording really didn't need much (if any) noise reduction really as it was so clean in the first place but for some reason the engineers felt obligated to push down the noise even further. In light of that, I can see why people try to get the original LPs whenever possible. But it's still a great performance with lots of realism (like musician's breath or turning pages) reminding you there's people making this music. Many new recordings are artificially forced to be so steryl and clean they sound fake. This sounds like an orchestra in my room. A worthy buy for any SACD enthusiast.
