"BALD" OR "BARE"?
Sir,--I see that you announce from 1YA, Auckland, a recording of Moussorgsky’s "Night on a Bare Mountain." Is this correct? This work was listed in Fantasia as "Night on Bald Mountain," Bald Mountain being in Southern Kiev, Russia, where all evil spirits used to gather to do homage to Tchernobog, the Black God. I would be very grateful if you would say definitely which is the right name?
DISNEY
FAN
(Christchurch).
(Philip Hale, in a programme note on this work, quoted a letter from Moussorgsky to Balakireff in which the composer said he was depicting a Witches’ Sabbath on "Bald Mountain." The title Night on a Bare Mountain might or might not have the composer’s authority.)
