This coffee break continues the exploration of how Maurice Ravel's orchestration of Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition launches the piece into a different realm of sound. But does Ravel's version really give the sense of claustrophobic catacombs or is he going after a whole new meaning? We also take a listen to different versions of the Baba Yaga piece and review the differences in sounds. Lastly we stop at the great gate of Kiev (Kyiv) and examine the power in both renditions. Seriously, how great is that gate?)
