Facts About This Score, September 30, 2000
This review is from: A Night on Bald Mountain in Full Score (Dover Music Scores) (Paperback)
To correct the previous reviwer's comment about this work being "just the way Mussorgsky wrote it", this reviewer would like to point out that the Dover score is a reprint of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's arrangement and orchestration. While a brilliant and deservedly popular work in its own right, Rimsky's arrangement was prepared about 5 years after the composer's death and bears only the most superficial resemblance to Mussorgsky's 1867 score (full title: St. John's Night on the Bare Mountain). The Dover reprint is very clean with a sturdy binding at a very reasonable price - certainly worth the 4 stars from this reviewer.
