Pictures at an Exhibition: original piano version / orchestral version (orch. Ravel)
Album by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky & Maurice Ravel & Vladimir Ashkenazy & Los Angeles Philharmonic & Zubin Mehta
Pictures at an Exhibition is a suite for piano by the Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky, composed in 1874. The work employs programme-music techniques with vivid contrasts of mood and texture drawn from Russian folk and pictorial inspiration, and its widely performed orchestral arrangements have become standard repertoire that illustrate evolving approaches to orchestration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
