One year, when I was really little, Disney released Fantasia on VHS. Grandpa got that video, and he and I watched it together, and the Bald Mountain portion was my favorite part. That was when gramps had a stroke of inspiration, and so we began our dark work. I watched, and re-watched, and watched some more, feverishly sketching out how Chernobog looked, and grandpa, being a master at a sewing machine, he stitched, and he sewed, because I was too young to know definitively how to work the machine to my will, and that was the year I WAS Chernobog for Halloween. He took a pair of black sweatpants, and a black sweatshirt. These served as the base of the costume. We sewed on a pair of fake arms to the sweatshirt which held a plastic skull trick or treat bucket, and the actual sleeves of the shirt had the wings attached so I could mimic the epic moment when Chernobog opens his wings at the start.
This was the perfect music that was in Disney's FANTASIA. The music went perfect with that part of the movie. You gotta love classical music. It takes us everywhere when you listen to it.
That's honestly one of the best performances of this piece I've ever heard and I've heard quite a few! Nothing sounds off tune, no part seems inexplicably rushed or started off cue, amazing pacing. The conductor did a masterful work here! Well done!
Mussorgskys' "Night on Bald Mountain" is a brilliant work of art; that "Ave Maria" followed it in "Fantasia" remains a masterstroke of art. And it is, and shall remain, the best part of "Fantasia" (in my humble opinion)!
Chernabog is best Disney villain. He gave an unforgettable experience in only 10, maybe 11 minutes, while the other villains had their whole movie to do it. Also, just freaking look at him.
Back in my college days I was listening to this with headphones on and reading the book "Helter Skelter" about the Manson murders. My brother came to my bedroom and shook me to tell me a friend from Ohio was calling. I almost had a heart attack. This is definitely music that will scare you!
Chernabog (more correctly Chernobog) is the dark god of the Slavs before the adoption of Christianity. Chern - black, O - for connecting words, bog - god
Hands down, my favorite Fantasia segment! LOVED it, even as a very little girl. Of course, my favorite scene in Disney'sSnow White has always been the queen transforming herself into the witchy old lady too! Both these scenes made my much older sister break into tears, heeheehee (or should that be cackle cackle cackle)~ Thanks for the great upload!
+NicholasGeschke Fantasia is the best movie I've ever seen, and I've seen everything of significance. These two numbers right at the end elevate it past the others: the elect, and the audience, enter heaven.

Fun fact: Did you know? The original composer for this piece bases every piece by his nightmares and very scary experiences? As you know, this is his experience on bald mountain, in his homeland
mj nyc - i liked it long ago, until i "discovered" the original piano version - as i said: long time ago - maybe you´re right and i just should give it a try again... greetings... :-)
THank you for this, mister Mahlerman77. This sounds like the best on RUclips. The drums are clean and not overly loud. The horns reverbrate perfectly, and the strings and piccolo are top notch upper frequencies! Everything comes through clear as a bell! Thank you very much!
I've appreciated Maestro Eduardo Mata conducting the Orchestra del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Florence ,Italy , many years ago. A great conductor indeed!
I'm travelling on a fast train and listening to this on my earphones. For some reason the passengers look different to me now and I'm getting anxious. Very anxious. Rome. October, nearly November 2019.
I have a bad habit of confusing this with In the Hall of The Mountain King, in Peer Gynt. I can never remember which is which. Both feel very much the same to me. Of course when they sing it they are screaming "Slay him" in Norwegian, I believe.
@@lucatanzini2921 but into music he uses russian folk songs harmony etc etc etc and Chernobog this is russian demon, please read russian fairy tales dear. They are incredible. This is base on russian fairytale
We were riding in the middle of night through the boonies of Virginia and I conviced my daughter that playing Stravinsky's Rite of Spring wasn't such a good idea. I would have said it for this piece also.
Headphones are great, but nothing beat the power of the old style console stereo that would rattle the neighbors out of bed three blocks away when we played this back in the 70's. I still have no idea how the record didn't skip with all that sound blasting.
I still have the "Phantasia" VHS 😁 Back in 1990 it was my absolute favorite including nightmares from this "Night on Bald Mountain". After "Ave Maria" will follow, that gave me always the feeling that the demon was gone 😅
My orchestra was going to play this spring 2020 in the music festival for our state. Then covid hit and we weren’t able to meet. It’s awful this was my favorite piece :,)
Here comes the day-light and it's making me mad. Last night my friends and I did the best we ever had. Last night the darkness was making me so glad. But here comes the day-light & it's making me sad, so sad, so sad, so sad, so sad, SO SAAAAAD!
When I was a child I used to listen to a radio theatre in Chile called Dr. Mortis which started always with this great work of Mussorgsky. Count Dracula was an infant compared to the evil Dr. I still remember some of those stories.
this is a pretty good performance of this piece. we played it in our high school band in '88 or so, but we didn't have strings, so woodwinds had to pick up the slack (of which i was one). we went to competitions and stuff. thank you for uploading this.
Very enjoyable version. A very clear recording and upload. Deserves a thumbs up and more views. Upload using "snapshots" from Fantasia moved the story along effectively while not playing the video/Stokowski version. It fit well artistically. Thanks to a fellow Texan
Josh Lincoln, MJ NYC: Music was used in Disney (one of the famous) movie Fantasia. Many american children from that time had nightmares from this scene. ruclips.net/video/b756FPiLlp8/видео.html
If I'm not mistaken it was Rimsky Korsakov who did the original piece and this name you see up top is one of "The Five" who shortened his great work. "The Five" did works together and over the years and were well known in Russia. Korsakov was an an admiral for the Russian Navy for nearly 30 years and taught music at one of thier most prestigious schools in uniform. The original piece was close to two hours.
It is only recently I realised this is called "St John's night on a Bald Mountain" not because John spent the night there but because it celebrates that particular saints day in June! If it had been 30th November it would be called St Andrew's night on a bald mountain!
Cool. This popped up as a recomend when I was listening to the Jimmy Malone death theme from the last scene of The Untouchables featuring a soprano sax. It's the most melancholy lilting absolutely beautiful piece of orchestration I've ever heard in my life. Enio Morricone is a genius. Folks, google it and have a listen. Btw, yes. This piece I'm listening to right now is way cool and soooo Fantasia.
I remember the disco version from "Saturday Night Fever", "Night On Disco Mountain", makes you want to go over the Verazzanos Bridge, "Can you dig it, I knew that you could, ".
I wore out my old Disney VHS tape of Fantasha* and blew the speakers on a stereo once as well playing this... Was so worth it and would love to do it again.
The stills from about 2:00 on are taken from Disney's Fantasia, and this version sounds identical to that version except for the absence of the church bell ringing repeatedly toward the end. Fantasia is definitely worth watching, btw. It's a timeless classic. Disney did a "remixed" Fantasia but it wasn't anywhere near as good as the original and is now almost forgotten. I think Disney tried to do another Fantasia after that, but it was abandoned and all that remains - that I know of - is a weepy little video based on The Little Match Seller (usually called the Little Match Girl). Last I knew, it was available somewhere here on YT, but get your tissue box out if you decide to watch it, 'cos you'll be either weeping or need to check your pulse to be sure you're still alive.

Hold on to that memory, of him....for it will define him for the ages, the man whom helped you bring hell to earth just once.
He sounds like the coolest and wonderful grandpa to ever have.
"Epic" isn't a strong enough word for that. lol
Nice !
"That was when gramps had a stroke.... of inspiration" and that's the moment I almost had a stroke from reading this sentence.
Background music for a visit with the in-laws.
You know my in-laws??? I'm so sorry....
Unannounced visit. The ultimate family horror
LOL !.. So True !
I used to play this whenever my ex wanted to get into an argument...,calmed the "stormy seas"right quick!
lolololol
Now I've gone down the rabbit hole of death classical.
Any recommendations?
Death and the Maiden - Schubert
Guilmant Organ Symphony no.1 movements 1 and 3
Stravinsky - Rite of Spring
Wow thanks :)
This was the perfect music that was in Disney's FANTASIA. The music went perfect with that part of the movie. You gotta love classical music. It takes us everywhere when you listen to it.
Sylvia Lyons most of my generation (millennials) don't even know who Beethoven is. It makes me want to cry.
You're so right! I often think of old cartoons, old Disney specifically, when I hear classical music.
FinalBossInferno lies.
Almost like the movie was designed to go with the songs. Strange.
That movie was my favorite as a kid lol scared the shit out of me
It's ashame Disney won't do anything creative like this anymore
dear, This is Modest Moussorgsky music, Russian composer.
@@alexandramott3181 They're referring to Fantasia, where the picture of the demon is from
Sad isn’t it
probably one of the best pieces of music EVER written. heard it for the first time at 6 years old, scared the hell out of me. loved it ever since.
One of my favorite pieces. Modest Mussorsky was brilliant.
This piece is just beautiful. It represents hopelessness and hope simultaneously.
Dang Mussorgsky
Heavy Metal before it was cool.
Heavy Metal before Heavy Metal was invented! Time travel confirmed!
Heavy Metal before it became watered down with repetition and synthesizers.
There is a channel named " Joe Parrish " and he covers this song in metal. You all should check it out its amazing.
Listen marduk - glorification of the black god....
Jovan Mitrić yaaaaas
That's honestly one of the best performances of this piece I've ever heard and I've heard quite a few! Nothing sounds off tune, no part seems inexplicably rushed or started off cue, amazing pacing. The conductor did a masterful work here! Well done!
Try Melodia recordings.
Try the version with a chorus!
Mussorgskys' "Night on Bald Mountain" is a brilliant work of art; that "Ave Maria" followed it in "Fantasia" remains a masterstroke of art. And it is, and shall remain, the best part of "Fantasia" (in my humble opinion)!
Chernabog is best Disney villain. He gave an unforgettable experience in only 10, maybe 11 minutes, while the other villains had their whole movie to do it. Also, just freaking look at him.
Even when I was little this was always my favourite part of fantasia. Still gives me goose bumps
How can "just sound" make all of us feel so alive, and motivated to do the good things that must be done in the world today?

I was 3, watching a CD version of Fantasia
Glad to beat his ass in Kingdom Hearts
9:24 and so begins one of the most beautiful solos in all of music EVER
Nicolas Vander Weide I Agree.
It is as it should sound the first morning of creation.
Quiet part , in Mussorgsky s writing only piano-vocal ( 1880 )
R.K. orchestrated a clarinet , Stokowski did an oboe.
As the sun rises, Church bells ring, Chernabog and his minions are banished. Ave Maria begins to play, symbolizing the triumph of Good over Evil.

Not at all
Wonderful piece and performance!! Classical music is almost always greatly melodic and spiritually uplifting
My number 1 favorite song as a kid most would think I'm mental at a bad level but I enjoyed the whole video this brings back memories
same!!! :D
Very nice audio, thanks. My orchestra is playing this (I'm in first violin) and we needed more audio from different sources.
Mussorgsky has a way of "painting pictures" with beautiful orchestral music!!
actually this symphonic poem is based on a novel of Gogol : Night on bald mountain
smug fuck
+robert bieser - i still prefer his piano "paintings" at the exhibition... :-)
You'll have to admit Ravel's orchestration adds so much to Pictures at an Exhibition.

Such a nice piece of work by Mussorgsky and nice graphics here also.
This is by far one of my favourite pieces to play, especially the solos with oboe.
When I was a little kid I thought all the ghosts/demons/monsters were just having a Halloween party. I was so innocent back in the day.
Lol I love this! Yet it scared the crap out of me and gave me nightmares as a child ha ha

Rome. October, nearly November 2019.
one of the best recordings I have found. Thanks for the upload!
I always used to turn off the video when it got to the dawn bit. I just liked the fast paced music and the dancing demons lol.
The same !!!
Ya that dawn part was too nice after this epicness
I have a bad habit of confusing this with In the Hall of The Mountain King, in Peer Gynt. I can never remember which is which. Both feel very much the same to me. Of course when they sing it they are screaming "Slay him" in Norwegian, I believe.
The Hall of the Mountain King is in Peer Gynt? DANG! I always associated Peer Gynt with "Morning" . Mountain King is intense.
Funny, they're both in an old game "Frontier (Elite 2)", where I heard them first
whenever I want to hear this song I end up listening to Peer Gynt completely searching for this song XD
Zivotnje
God Bless Russia and Russian Folk!
I agree with you but Mussorgsky wrote this music during his stay in a little village in south Italy, famous for the witches and sabba
I know right I love russian music that's why I'm proud I'm russian 😁

Mussorgski jeden z Potężnej Gromadki rosyjskich kompozytorów wspaniała jest Noc na Łysej Górze dziękuję bardzo
I didn't think Chernabog was scary when I was little. I actually thought he looked pretty cool. I *aspired* to stay up as late as him.
We were riding in the middle of night through the boonies of Virginia and I conviced my daughter that playing Stravinsky's Rite of Spring wasn't such a good idea. I would have said it for this piece also.
charles stuart did you know Rite of Spring caused a riot when it was first played?
@@stephenpowstinger733 I was aware - in Paris in 1913- though the disruption did not prevent the piece from finishing.

Whole magic of Frontier came from Musorgski, Grieg and unknown space :).
Ah my boy Mussorgsky.
I spent like a year on an art project where I had to paint various pieces of his. Takes me back
If Mussorgsky lived today, he would be in Morbid Angel.
Dileep N Most def dude 👳

Blessed are the sick for sure
In Mekong Delta
If Mussorgsky lived today, he would probably write film music.
this is a pretty good performance of this piece. we played it in our high school band in '88 or so, but we didn't have strings, so woodwinds had to pick up the slack (of which i was one). we went to competitions and stuff. thank you for uploading this.
By far the best recording of this piece that I've been able to find. Nicely done.
There are some tepid versions of this on RUclips. Not so here! Spicy.
Fantastic performance. Thanks for posting!
How clever of him and so darn creative at that !😮🤗
I love Fantasia classic.
Too bad you can't show it on RUclips.
Svetlanov is one of my favourite conductors of Russian music but here Eduardo Mata surpasses him, the best performance I`ve heard of this work.
