Mussorgsky Night On Bald Mountain is Metal!

time2 yr agoview21 views

It's Halloween time here at Metal Classical Rocks where we seek to help fellow metal and rock fans connect to classical music in a familiar way. This channel will explore the intersectionality of classical and rock genres.

Night On Bald Mountain is one of the first tone poems of Russian origin. It tells the story of witches gathering in a mass and having a sabbath for Satan. This piece was so metal when Mussorgsky wrote it that he couldn't get his version - this version - performed. Check the Wikipedia page for more.
