I have not heard this recording, however I have heard an earlier(pictures), with Gerorge Schzell and Cleveland. I loved it! However , I just bought Leonard Bernstein with the N.Y. Phil. and liked it as well. That is except for the last part (following the grand pause or tezzura, in the Great gate of Kiev, He slowed it to almost half tempo, a knife, in my musical heart! I know Moussorgsky keeled over again when Bernstein did this. However I still have respect for him. Track 34 on Portrait of an artist is definetly how it should be played!
