There is an orchestral soviet Melodia version that I like.
And I love ELP album with the same name, I think it is a really good interpretation and a piece of work despite that it was recorded live.
Pictures at an Exhibition
For someone who studied music in college, I somehow managed to miss Moussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition until now. I admit I’m not a fan of large-scale orchestral works, so I avoided it not knowing that it was originally written for solo piano. I picked up both CD and vinyl copies of the solo piano version and I think it is fabulous. A wonderful mix of simplicity and virtuosity and I can’t recommend it highly enough. I’m definitely tempted to pick up another version.
Plese let me know if you are aware of any outstanding performances of this piece. Thanks
