Pictures at an Exhibition
Album by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky & Orchestre de la Suisse Romande & Ernest Ansermet
Pictures at an Exhibition is a suite for solo piano by Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky, composed in 1874. The work exemplifies Russian nationalist late-Romantic piano writing with contrasting lyrical and march-like passages and is frequently performed in both its original piano form and in orchestral arrangements that expand its orchestral colour, making it a recurring feature of concert programmes.
