Mussorgsky was not a skillful writer for the orchestra, and in fact he completed only two orchestral scores in his life - an Intermezzo in modo classico which he dedicated to Borodin in 1867 and an early version of what subsequently became Night on Bald Mountain. That the latter title and Pictures at an Exhibition have not only taken their places in the "standard" orchestral repertory but have become synonymous with orchestral virtuosity of the highest order, is attributable to the response the music drew from two the greatest masters the orchestra has known - Rimsky-Korsakov, who devoted years of concentrated effort to the editing and orchestrating of his friend's operas and other works after Mussorgsky's death in 1881, and Ravel, who undertook his orchestral setting of Mussorgsky's piano suite at the request of Serge Koussevitzky in 1922.

Dvorak: Symphony No. 9 "From the New World"

Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

Track Listings

1. Symphony No.9, Op.95 'From The New World' In E Minor: I. Adagio. Allegro molto

2. Symphony No.9, Op.95 'From The New World' In E Minor: II. Largo

3. Symphony No.9, Op.95 'From The New World' In E Minor: III. Molto vivace

4. Symphony No.9, Op.95 'From The New World' In E Minor: IV. Allegro con fuoco

For Solti, though, the "New World" is about the New World as imagined by an Old World composer. I don't say "as seen by an Old World composer" because Dvorak seems to want to convey the sense of awe inspired by being in a country the vast spaces and majestic vistas of which he was to see only parts. But I think the striking cover illustration is to the point: this is a symphony of the imagination as much as of the eyes and ears. That sweeping first movement clearly captures the imagined grandeur of the New World--both natural and man-made--and Solti is the perfect tour guide, choosing tempi that are uniformly fast though not breakneck and of course powering the movements by dint of that great Chicago brass section. Yes, in spots the effect is "hair-raising," but so, too, must have been the experience of rail travel from teaming New York City west to Iowa over the Appalachians and the Great Plains.

John Coltrane - Blue Train (1957)

Classic record from Trane. It is considered by many to be Coltrane's first "true" solo album, the first he recorded featuring musicians and songs entirely of his choosing. All of the compositions were written by Coltrane, save one ("I'm Old Fashioned", a Jerome Kern/Johnny Mercer standard). The title track is a long, rhythmically variegated blues with a brooding minor theme that gradually shifts to major during Coltrane's first chorus. "Locomotion" is also a blues riff tune. Elsewhere, whereas Coltrane's next major LP, Giant Steps, would break new melodic and harmonic ground in jazz, Blue Train adheres to the hard bop style of the era.

That's what I copied from the internet. Ha ha. If you want more infos ,try yourself.
And again, this is 24-carat edition, its cover is not like what you see above.
