Romantic Masterpiece, not Classical. Mussorgsky was one of the Russian Five, all Romantic Period.

lol that be true tho

[@johncrawfordpiano]

I've always loved the orchestral version, but I must say I'm stunned by this. To me, Berezovsky has perfectly captured the mood and tension of this piece. It's funny, when I heard the original version, one of the first things I thought was "this would be impossible to play solo piano"... am glad to be proven wrong. Bravo

[@harveythelobsterzbak]

100% of the reason why I love piano: if you're good enough, you can play just about anything. EVER!!

[@gilletjosephine]

FINALLY getting close enough to that where in about a month's practice I can probably play his

[@RaptorJesus.]

jesus, thats amazing! he's playing a whole orchestra worth of music :D and even more, he's playing it VERY WELL :D

How can someone dislike this masterpiece and this very good adaption!?

I like Night on bald mountain

This is the reason why im learning piano.

Dislikes! Old memories of youtube😢❤

[@anonymousQ45]

thats why pianist are the best of all musicians. they are the one man band of music.

[@Deere55]

Not to be discouraging, but I think it truly takes a gift to play at this level, more then just practice.

[@StopFear]

the intro is one of the best horror sound effects

[@PANDORASBOXRELEASE]

Something tells me this piece had a lot of influence on many modern composers

[@dashtheautoman]

The entire genre of Heavy Metal owes Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky a MASSIVE debt of gratitude. In a lot of ways, Night On Bald Mountain picked up where Beethoven left off. This is where Thrash comes from.

[@mohdhaziqdanish3971]

Hey, do you know that they also include this song in Tik Tok?

[@AintNobodyRight]

Oh MY GOSH! I'm beyond floored! Absolutely BRILLIANT! Never heard this piece on piano.

[@eddyvandendoren9244]

You must watch the metal version,it’s stunning

[@medpiano]

Well, when I first heard this, the part that made me crap my pants was actually at 5:07 with the open 5th/4th arpeggios in the LH over the two octaves. There's something about having ONLY open intervals that means that any wrong note is obvious, to say nothing of the speed. That's a LH etude passage in itself. Thx for the good comments here lately :)

[@ciararespect4296]

Easy just slow accurate practice

[@rickyromeral9484]

Yes

[@herobrine1847]

I really wanted to see his left hand there :(

[@thenameisgsarci]

The Liam Neeson of the piano never fails to amaze me... :D

[@Nganguenf]

Outstanding performance, FANTASTIC!!! This is one of the best transcription of this piece of Modest Mussorgsky, arranged by Rimsky-Korsakov

[@ChanellesKitchen]

That was the most awesome thing I have ever heard by far! He's playing like every part of the entire orchestra! Winds included!

[@nicolaspicolas1988]

man this has been one of my favorite songs ever since a was a little kid and i first heard it on fantasia. Amazing, Bravo!

[@SteffLoui88]

I love Fantasia, still my all time favorite film to this day. It's a Disney film that's not too overly sugary and doesn't rely on dialogue and princesses, just the right mix of something for everyone. Spectacular movie.

[@CrimsonFox36]

absolutely amazing! bald mountain is one of favorite classical pieces, and you just made it better!

[@capthook1]

Wow! BRAVO!! This is a truly amazing performance of Mussorgsky's composition. I really enjoy the dynamic control he has, his immaculate execution and independence of each hand contributing to a truly inpirational performance!

[@adamw2621]

At the 2 minute mark his face just looks like he is casually playing, like it is no big deal. I am going to check this amazing performer out some more wow.

[@nojstradamus]

i love the "over the shoulder" shots. it makes his hands look like there dancing in a black abyss

[@ohbabyohbaby13o489]

I am so obsessed with this video

[@SteffLoui88]

This piece of music was meant to be written for piano believe it or not. Mussorgsky never got to perform it during his lifetime, when it finally got arrange and performed for orchestra, it became a huge concert favorite. Fantastic piece of music. Obviously got the attention it deserved when being heard in Fantasia.

[@snegalin]

wow, i want scream!! i damn love this piece, and also berezovsky. such perfect job he did!

[@Tiffawesomeness]

This is incredible!

[@rickyromeral9484]

Yes yes

[@krazykorean631]

for all the people that didnt think this song couldnt translate for the piano well needs to know that it was written for the piano first and then transposed for the orchestra

[@julissavesely1710]

I played this piece a couple years ago... granted, I was only 14 AND it took me 14 minutes to play, not 8, but this was the most fun I have ever had playing piano. It takes you down every single road you can imagine In playing. The fast and the furious, and the heart-breaking earnest soulful ending. It helped me find out who I was as a musician. Truly my all time favorite piece.

[@MegaPianogenius]

yes i did when i was 10 but i did it in 9 minutes i couldn't go any fater without smudges

[@julissavesely1710]

sam333 that's awesome! how long have you been playing?

[@pulvaris]

This is...breath-taking, I actually like it better then the orchestration!

[@jackcurley1591]

This is actually such an incredible transcription, standing alone from Berezovsky's daunting performance of it here. I'm surprised and kinda sad he doesn't transcribe more works...

[@PauloMeirelesFilho]

[@ArtemisDEfes]

It's real Musorgsky. Bravo, Boris!!!!

[@busternineshoes]

This was one of the pieces I had to study for O level music back in the late 70's. We studied the Rimsky-Korsakov orchestration. I've always wanted to hear how Mussorgsky intended it. Just brilliant.

[@Theospeak1]

Beautiful. Amazing.

[@TwistedAnvil]

One of the scariest pieces of music ever!!! Always a thrill to listen to though :D

[@gojewla]

This just demonstrates how much control he has. He let's the drama of the music speak for itself and doesn't need a lot of unnecessary movement to distract the audience from the music he his making. You should also see his Chopin-Godowsky transcriptions. They are (in my opinion) the best recordings of these pieces and demonstrate even more remarkable technical and musical prowess.

[@thelightisahead]

Wow... I don't know how any human could play piano like that!!! I guess it's insane loads of practice and talent!

[@JJKjaer]

Fantastic piece. Great performance. So much nerve in his play.

[@enVme731]

whoa amazing!

[@paolohudson]

This piece has made me change minds concerning Berezovsky. He really makes something out of the piece and I didn't get any feeling of him trying to be showy in any way. Really well done.

[@AdIgnorantiam]

wow. i'd never have thought this could translate this well to piano. but then again, i never really thought about it. this is awesome!

[@davidcallahan2832]

I wish I could see what exactly Berezovsky's left hand is doing at 5:08. Is he actually playing superfast two-octave arpeggios of D - A - D - A - D ascending and descending? The reflection of it in the fall board says yes, but how in Hell is it possible at this speed and with the business in the right hand to contend with? Did he make a pact with the Devil?

[@Flav52]

Amazing indeed. And that sounds clean as hell

[@BorbaSpinotti]

lol, Zlicin, I also just got the sheet music in the mail yesterday! After a few read-throughs, I feel it is more difficult than lots of, say, Liszt's work, since it wasn't really written with the pianist in mind, good though the reduction is. So all in all it's a different kind of challenge. Thanks to Berezovsky for recording it and bringing it to my attention.

[@jmatt4life]

Genious! The man is a genious! I am crying!!! (-=

This piece of music was also used in the bridge scene in the film Saturday night fever...not even Mussorgsky would have ever imagined that
