This is a VERY interesting CD - Mussorgsky's Pictures, but in Leo Funtek's orchestration, an orchestration that lies sooo much closer to Mussorgsky than Ravel's perfumed one. Coupled with Songs and Dances of Death, sung by the superstar Martti Talvela (I remember when he stayed in my house while recording the Winterreise, holding my newborn boy in his gigantic hand, rumbling out a lullaby). Finnish Radio SO conducted by stars Leif Segerstam and Neeme Järvi, resp. Oh yes, Night on a Bare Mountain is thrown in for good taste. All for less than a fiver - Christmas came early...  Please use VISA in preference to PayPal.  RvB
