Modeste Mussorgsky: Towards New Shores Video (DVD)
Product Description:
A documentary video trying to bring out the other side of Mussorgsky, the real him. This other side of him, the one lying in waiting beneath Rimsky-Korsakov’s compositions, the person who, in the words of a person who knows him well, is “more good, more clear, and more human. This personality is what the DVD is seeking to bring out.
Modeste Mussorgsky: Towards New Shores Video (DVD) traces Mussorgsky musical development from traditional romantic to Pro-Impressionist.
