Mussorgsky
Pictures at an Exhibition

Concerto No. 1 for Piano, Trumpet & Strings

An overwhelming performance of Mussorgsky's masterpiece, the Pictures at an Exhibition by the Russian virtuoso Vladimir Ovchinnikov.
Ovchinnikov made an impressive career after winning the 1987 Leeds competition. He recorded extensively for EMI, notably definitive performances of Liszt TranscendentalStudies and Rachmaninoff's Etudes- ableaux. The Mussorgsky was recorded for CollinsClassics, in the great acoustics of the Henry Wood Hall, London.
As a substantial "filler" a scintillating performance of Shostakovich's first Piano Concerto, with the Philharmonia conducted by Maxim Shostakovich, the composer's son. Trumpeter is the famous John Wallace.
