COMPOSER: Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky (21 March [O.S. 9 March] 1839 – 28 March [O.S. 16 March] 1881) was a Russian composer, one of the group known as "The Five". He was an innovator of Russian music in the romantic period. He strove to achieve a uniquely Russian musical identity, often in deliberate defiance of the established conventions of Western music. Many of his works were inspired by Russian history, Russian folklore, and other nationalist themes. Such works include the opera Boris Godunov, the orchestral tone poem Night on Bald Mountain, and the piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition.ARTIST: EZIO PINZA - Ezio Pinza (May 18 1892 - May 9 1957) was an Italian basso opera singer. He spent 22 seasons at New York's Metropolitan Opera, he also sang to great acclaim at La Scala, Milan, and at the Royal Opera House in London's Covent Garden. After retiring from the Met in 1948, Pinza enjoyed a fresh career on Broadway in the musical theatre and also appeared in several Hollywood films.
