ARTHUR SALVATORE WROTE:
MUSSORGSKY-PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION-MUTI
This is one of the greatest orchestral LPs of all time. It is incredibly immediate, transparent, dynamic and has superb low-level and inner detail. The tonal balance is also very natural. The soundstage is somewhat upfront, which is its only noticeable "weakness". While the entire LP is special, one part is particularly noteworthy...
The harmonic texture, sense of presence and primal power of the lower brass in the "Catacombs" section (near the end of Side 1) is Unforgettable.
Comparison-Mobile Fidelity Vs. EMI ASD 3645- I made this comparison after reading some letters from Phonogram, with all of them claiming that the original EMI pressing was superior to the Mobile reissue. Since the Mobile was already in The Divinity, an even better pressing of this recording -which is also easier to find- would be a highly desirable change of status indeed. Unfortunately, this is NOT the case.
The original EMI is truly excellent, one of the finest EMIs I have ever heard, and it's good enough to make The Basic List...AS USUAL, IT DEPENDS ON YOUR SYSTEM...
