This is how this work was originally composed though no recording of that version has previously been released. The full symphonic version of Pictures at an Exhibition is cut here at 33 1/3. The orchestral version of Mussorgsky’s musical picture gallery has always been one of the most popular works ever heard in concert halls all over the world. Originally written for the piano, the unsuccessful composer never heard the work in all its symphonic glory, although many of his contemporaries had often been tempted to arrange his works. As early as 1891, ten years after his death, Mikhail Tushmalov – a pupil of Rimsky-Korsakov – presented a first version. However, it is Maurice Ravel’s orchestral version from 1922 that remains unsurpassed to this day. His arrangement amalgamates the original force and angularity of the piano with the brilliance of a modern orchestra. The transparent and powerful performance by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra is complemented by an equally fascinating version from one of Mercury’s main pianists, Byron Janis. In listening to the two interpretations one after the other it becomes clear as to how closely Ravel remained true to the original version while still managing to imbue his genial orchestral version with his own tonal conception. The solo piano recording, released for the first time on vinyl, will certainly be of special interest to record collectors. “…the performances are excellent and the sound, minus the midbass boom, first-rate. Anyone who can listen to the Dorati/Lso reading of the Enesco Roumanian Rhapsody No. 1 without breaking into a grin is no one I’d like to know. Holy Xeria, what a delightful piece of light classical music – a virtual kazatsky in sound!” – Jonathan Valin, The Absolute Sound, June/July 2006 Artist Moussorgsky -MSO/Dorati Genre Classical Label Speakers Corner / Mercury Living Presence Buying Options 180g 2LP Format 180g , 2LP Condition New Country Germany Track Listings 1.
