A Welcome Addendum! (review from amazon.com)
 
Maintaining the resounding success of its debut surround series, Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab has unearthed another rare jewel from the illustrious Vox catalog, and is proud to announce the release of Mussorgsky's Pictures At An Exhibition, Night On Bald Mountain, and Khovanshehina on its critically acclaimed Ultradisc UHR? SACD surround series. This historic Vox recording of Leonard Slatkin conducting the Saint Louis Symphony is a bold, stellar recording featuring brilliant orchestration. The full sonic spectrum of this recording masterpiece is finally unveiled as four channels of stunning detail, life like imaging, and in-depth ambient information that enables listeners to experience the producers original sonic intention for the first time. This Ultradisc UHR? SACD features 4.0 surround sound and original liner notes written by Richard Freed. Another classic recording brought back to life by Mobile Fidelity's GAIN 2? (Greater Ambient Information Network) mastering process. The process that enables the maximum amount of musical information to be extracted from an ORIGINAL MASTER RECORDING and delivered to classical aficionados and high resolution surround enthusiasts alike as a dual layer hybrid SACD

An amazing performance and recording (review from amazon.com)
I was put back by the high price. But this disc is worth the price of admission. A young Leonard Slakin was what enticed me. A wonderful reading/performance and recording quality is quite pleasant and is definitive in it's realism. A+
