Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Mariss Jansons - Conductor
Modest Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition (1874) (instrumentation Maurice Ravel 1922)
A great new 'Pictures' at a Budget Price!
The Royal Concertgebouw is in its usual fine form throughout this new recording of Mussorgsky's 'Pictures at an Exhibition'. The brass is clear and crisp during the Promenades and the Grand Gate of Kiev, and embody the majesty of this great orchestral work. If anything, this specific recording has not only proved Mussorgsky's mettle as a composer, but Ravel's mastery as an orchestrator. This would be a must have even at regular price.
A special budget release on RCO Live of Mussorgsky’s much beloved Pictures at an Exhibition in the orchestrated version by Maurice Ravel.
Recorded Live at the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Mariss Jansons and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra display magnificent form and produce a wonderful palet of colours and sonority in this dazzling orchestral piece.
