«Pictures at an Exhibition» is the album by Vladimir Ashkenazy and the Philharmonia Orchestra with music by Modest Mussorgsky, released in 1986 on Decca, on CD.
The CD brings together two versions of Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition: the original for solo piano and the orchestral one. Vladimir Ashkenazy plays the piano in the first and conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra in the second. The suite evokes a walk through an exhibition of paintings and alternates passages of great expressiveness and contrast.
The cover shows an illustration of Russian architecture and the title in English, French and German; the catalogue number is 414 386-2 and the recording is digital.
It will appeal to fans of Romantic classical music and to those who want to compare the original piano version with the orchestral one of the same work.
