Another member of the March born club is the “rebel” of Russian Music School, Modest Mussorgsky [1839-1881], from two works of whom we hear excerpts : “Golitsin’s Journey” [00:00], an interlude from the opera Khovantchina, and the last two parts from the orchestral version of Pictures At An Exhibition : The Hut On Fowl’s Legs (Baba-Yaga) [04:08] and The Great Gate Of Kiev [07:46].

This is magnificent. Thank you!
Can’t beat a good bit of Mussorgsky! Pictures is one of the few suite of pieces which works in any medium – orchestral, piano or even (as I grew up with, listening to Tomita) synthesizers. He had the golden touch even if the composer himself was a drunken liability!
Agreed! I still hear one or two excerpts from the Emerson Lake And Palmer version from time to time, for “nostalgic” reasons.
