Pictures at an Exhibition / Ravel Orchestrations

Album by Maurice Ravel & Minnesota Orchestra & Eiji Oue

Pictures at an Exhibition is an orchestration by Maurice Ravel, completed in 1922. Ravel's orchestration translates the piano work into vivid orchestral colours and varied timbres, employing bold instrumentation, clear dynamic contrasts and sectional clarity, and it stands as a prominent example of early 20th-century orchestral technique and repertoire.
