NYO-USA performs Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, under the direction of David Robertson, in the orchestra’s Carnegie Hall debut on July 22, 2014. Watch additional highlights from this concert at: bit.ly/1nCz8oF
Modest Mussorgsky’s highly individual voice was long obscured by well-meaning editors and fellow composers who considered his unconventional harmonies and orchestrations crude. Pictures at an Exhibition-a suite of vividly drawn tonal sketches inspired by an exhibition of artworks by the composer’s friend Viktor Hartmann-was originally written for piano. However, it is best known in the masterful orchestration that Maurice Ravel made in 1922.
