Mussorgsky / Prokofiev / Roessler / Kraemer - Pictures-Music for 8 Horns & Percussion - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Great Gate of Kiev is in itself huge. But with the eight horns of German horn sound plus percussion amplification it becomes gigantic! After their successful Verdi-Wagner Portrait InchSiegfried and ViolettaInch the world-class horn players appear again in 8.1 wide-screen on their second GENUIN-CD. However, before the listener is blasted away by the sound of the Great Gate, he travels through a veritable musical Jurassic Park spooked by the Gnome, a witches' Sabbath on the Bald Mountain, and morbid waltzes and emotional suffering with Romeo and Juliet. On the program Mussorgsky, Shostakovich, and Prokofiev - here dances the Russian bear!
