    My wife and I watched the CSO play this in 2018 and I distinctly remember the conductor adding a sudden drop to piano on the V chord they blast out at 32:30 in this video and I swear they literally ripped a hole in the roof of symphony center on one of the loudest crescendos I've ever heard to the downbeat of the next bar. We literally gasped in the audience, the ending was absolutely immaculate - sounds I've never heard in my life, percussion just unleashing, brass singing out over the top of the sound. It was a moment I will never forget.

    A little background information:
    Chicago's Solti symphony orchestra toured to Japan twice prior to this recording. This was the third. One of nine performances in 15 days, this was hosted in Kanagawa Kenmin Hall, Yokohama. I couldn't find any literature on the tour, beside a schedule. It is likely these writings are either in Japanese, or simply do not exist on the internet.
    It appears "192bps Sound" taped a Japanese broadcast of the performance, which explains the subtitles.

    • @frankkolton1780
      @frankkolton1780 4 роки тому +13

      A few minor corrections sir. While the CSO did perform this at Kenmin Hall that tour, this was definitely filmed and recorded at Suntory Hall in Tokyo, the main hall has a somewhat unique design. They performed 3 nights at Suntory, April 11, 15, and 26th of 1990. Solti conducted the Mussorgsky/Ravel shows for the first two, Barenboim conducted a Brahms program the 26th. I believe this was recorded the evening of the 15th at Suntory by Sony, for Japanese TV and for eventual release on VHS.
      The CSO did a total of 12 shows over 15 nights on the Japan tour. The tour cost just over $ 2 million at that time. Motorola Corp. helped sponsor the tour with a contribution of just under $800 thousand, the state of IL and Chicago contributed some funds and $900 thousand was generated from the contracted concert fees. Daniel Barenboim, who was to be the replacement music director for the soon to be retiring Solti, was co-director for this tour.

      Mussorgsky: Nobody sounded like him before he started to compose. And Nobody sounded like him after he died. How could they? He was one-of-a-kind! ///History is littered of Artists who come to sad ends- some of their own making ( and definitely some Not of their own making!) For every present-day idiot who thinks Artists are loafers who don't perform honest work and sponge of others for a livlihood; There are countless others who realize many great Artists basically sacrificed whatever could have made them really happy- for the sake of creating their Art. And they DID have a choice! How often have I heard "If only Mozart wrote the music expected of him- like everybody else's- he could have been wealthy and had a long life" 🙄 DUH!!! And what about the millions who have loved his music for hundreds of years? And to some gave their life the greatest happiness?/// From what I do know Mussorgsky had a bona-fide drinking problem. But Thank God 🙏 Almighty in Heaven that he lived!!!(even if he MIGHT not have been always pleasant to be around)

    This is truly one of the finest brass sections ever assembled flexing its muscle. Only under Solti though would it be so. Too many performances are played at too fast a tempo. Particularly the Gate of Kiev. The slower tempo really allows the might of this brass section to truly shine. Simply incredible.

En este caso doy gracias a Ravel por tremenda transcripción de tan monumental obra pianistica.

    Remarcable performance fans, EPIC, wish you never forget, this is the Maurice Ravel version of Musorgsky composition and as he wanted to give his own personalized interpretation, other orchestra conductors could improve, most of all those concerts that are not same lucky to get important audience and bringing classical music to those who are not your fans yet is never enough, until this main dope will be the only one requested, l am addicted of a lifetime, instead of poisoning and burning the brain its regenerating and stimulating mostly when great performers are making of it such a heavenly delight 🤗🤗🤗🤗💕💕💕💕🥂🥂🥂🥂😍😍😍🍾🍾🍾🍷🍷🤩🤩🤩🥳🥳🥳🥰🥰🥰🥰🎺🎺🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

    Another query---> did Sir Georgi gussy up the percussion parts in the last few measures? To my ears, there seem to be a few nifty extra bell-chimes i cannot recall ever hearing before (and i have previously played all three upper string parts ---> viola, 2nd fiddle, 1st fiddle^^. Of course, whether string players listen to percussion in noisy orchestral blockbusters is debatable^^)
