A small boat rocks helplessly on the waves, delivered up by the ocean; the listener holds tight onto the edge so they don't fall out. Unhatched chicks dancing in their shells; the listener experiences their confinement. It's an almost perfect illusion, whether it's the bells down below in the valley or the catacombs where the dead lie sleeping. And the "Dance of the Hut on Fowl's Legs" gives free rein to fantasy, even in the title! Anything is possible - inside your head! This is by no means just because of TACET Real Surround Sound. It comes from the 3 Ms, Modest Mussorgsky, Maurice Ravel, and Markus Schirmer. Old works in a new guise. The recording has already been released on DVD-Audio. As it is out of stock, it will now be reissued on Blu-ray disc.

Audiophile Impression (04/28/2016):

Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky is one of the beacons of classical music, and is a work originally written for piano in 1874. The background for this composition was an exhibition to commemorate his friend, artist Viktor Hartmann, who died last year.
Perhaps even more played than Mussorgsky's original composition is Ravel's orchestration from 1922. more...
