Mussourgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition

Mercury D 106727 [3C56C44]

I had only heard Ravel's orchestrated version prior to buying this CD. The piano version is fantastic. I can't say that one is better than the other - they are just very different experiences. If you've never heard the piano version, you owe it yourself to listen at least once.
