Modest Mussorgsky: Bilder Einer Ausstellung

Album by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky & Nicola Cittadin & Philip Tarr

Bilder einer Ausstellung is a piano suite by Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky, written in 1874. The work presents a sequence of musical tableaux inspired by an exhibition of artworks, combining folk-inflected melodies, modal harmonies and striking dynamic contrasts, and it marks a key example of Mussorgsky's contribution to 19th-century Russian nationalist music while later becoming widely known through numerous orchestral reworkings and recordings.
First released: 2010
