Pictures at an Exhibition (arr. Ravel)

Album by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky & Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire & André Vandernoot

Pictures at an Exhibition is a suite for piano by Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky, composed in 1874 and most widely known through Maurice Ravel's orchestration first arranged and published in 1922. The work comprises a sequence of characterful, pictorial movements rooted in Romantic Russian nationalism, and Ravel's orchestration expands the piano textures into a vivid, colourful orchestral palette that has become the standard concert version and shaped the work's place within Mussorgsky's output and music history.

First released: 1983
