22. Pictures at an Exhibition: X. The Great Gate at Kiev

The 'Great Gate of Kiev' is in itself huge. But with the eight horns of german hornsound plus percussion amplification it becomes gigantic!

After their successful Verdi-Wagner Portrait 'Siegfried and Violetta', the world-class horn players appear again in 8.1 wide-screen format 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!
