Mussorgsky | Pictures At An Exhibition Nig | CD

Modest Mussorgsky was a Russian composer, born in 1839 in Karevo and died in 1881 in Saint Petersburg. He was one of the Russian composers known as The Five, and 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.
