A brilliant example of Moussorgsky's innovative techniques, this dramatic work was completed and orchestrated by Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov after Moussorgsky's death. Full of intense effects, the piece has long been a staple of the orchestral repertoire, particularly after its memorable accompaniment to the Witches' Sabbath sequence of Disney's Fantasia. This enduringly popular work has been carefully reproduced from an early authoritative score for this handsome, inexpensive edition.
