Pictures at an Exhibition

Album by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Enrique Bátiz

Pictures at an Exhibition is a suite for solo piano by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky, composed in 1874. The work is characterised by vivid musical pictorialism, bold modal harmonies and stark contrasts between sections, and occupies an important place in Mussorgsky's output and in late 19th-century Russian music, often adapted for orchestra and various ensembles.
