In Reply to: Stokowski's Night on the Bare Mountain. . . . posted by risabet on February 9, 2007 at 16:38:04:
I'll bet the MHS is Stokowsky's arrangement as well. The following recommendations are Rimsky Korsakov's arrangement, and, of course, they've dug up Mussy's original. I know Chandos has cycle of Stokowski arrangements including one of Russian works that includes his own Night on Bald Mountain. If you want to hear Mussorgsky's own original, you can find it on RCA with Abbado and the LSO, which include a very creepy children's choir.
