Mussorgsky:

Pictures at an Exhibition

This work was composed for piano and was  inspired by an exhibition of Mussorgsky’s friend  Victor Hartmann’s paintings shortly after his  untimely death at the age of 39.   The ten pictures are interspersed by  Promenade sections which share a common  theme which is picked up and developed in the  later pictures. Some of the pictures are obvious  but the ballet was an egg based costume  design, the hut was a clock and the gate a  design for a new gate. My recordings use Steel drums, vibraphone ,  gamelan and marimba together with breathy  pan pipes which complete the oriental feel to  this arrangement of the piano recording by  Katsuhiro Oguri.
