About "Night on Bald Mountain" by Leonard Bernstein
Bernstein conjures Mussorgsky's witches' Sabbath with lurid brass and snapping strings. 'Night on Bald Mountain' is a carnival of shadows—demonic revelry that builds from eerie stillness to violent climax. The tension is pure theatrical dread: you can almost see the mountain's peak splitting open under a cold moon.
