Listen to actual Halley 5th Concerto theme

It seems I haven't put this link up before, so here it is now - a link to a quickie video I did with the actual recording that Ayn Rand listened to while writing "Atlas Shrugged" - the love music from Mussorgsky's opera "Boris Godunov." A friend of AR's confirmed to me that this was the exact performance she had on record: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI5ifOzLE...

- 1Posted by fuguewriter 11 years, 10 months ago in reply to this comment.I'm delighted it as so delightful! I'm planning a piano version of the Mussorgsky clip, so we can hear something like what the "real" Halley 5th might have sounded like.| Permalink

- 1Posted by $ Susanne 11 years, 10 months agoThose were both incredible and moving... I hate to say it, but I did envision Halley's 5th as more like the second one than the Love Scene in Godunov (Especially since the book mentions hearing it on the piano) but still... either way... wow. I am floored, and uplifted!| Permalink
