Night on Bald Mountain - Fantasia (1940)

[thebarroomortheboy]

The Night On Bald Mountain sequence was cut from the film when originally released on video. When the sequence was shown in 1940 the studio was overrun with calls and letters from parents who complained that the sequence scared their children. It has since been restored to its original place in the film on subsequent home video releases.

I know a lot of people wanted to know why I chose L'apres Midi d'un Faune instead of Printemps on the first poll. Honestly I'd want to see both, but it was the Rudolf Nureyev's Faune tween me fell in love with when it was newly filmed. Rite of Spring didn't speak to me until I was a little older. It was arbitrary, and Printemps was always going to end up on a later poll. The enthusiasm for it was heart warming.

** London After Midnight is particularly lamented lost media so it gets it's own slot.

*** These are: Mily Balakirev, César Cui, Modest Mussorgsky, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Alexander Borodin. They did not fit in the slot.

Night On Bald Mountain - Fantasia (1941) (Theatrical Cut)

A beautiful work of animation, with magnificent blend of visual artistry and orchestral music.

This is an editted version of Dmitri Hvorostovsky, The late Russian Baritone singing all parts of M. Mussorgsky's Songs and Dances of Death in 1993 at Proms. This was Dmitri's Proms debut and also the most passionate performance of Songs an Dances of Death from him in my opinion. This is sadly not the full performance but it is very good none the less.

This is so sick, I have to share it. The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky (complete) on guitars!

So fucking dissonant and insane. (But that is really what the classical piece sounds like too, if you’ve never heard it!)

Or for lighter listening, Modest Mussorgsky’s Night On Bald Mountain covered by the same guy:

Why is Night On Bald Mountain with Ave Maria right after just so good 💕

[dongslinger--420]

I feel like it is extremely important to realise that the piece that they play when Princess Carolyn having her painting fantasy is from Pictures At An Exhibition. And it's from the first movement, which is called Prominade. It's an amazing pun and it literally could not be more perfect for this scene like I don't think you underSTAND.
