MODEST MUSSORGSKY . MAURICE RAVEL – New Production

Pictures to an Exhibition is a suite of ten pieces (plus a recurring, varied Promenade) composed for piano by Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky in 1874. It was conceived to illustrate the paintings of the late Viktor Hartmann. The piece was never printed or performed, until french composer Maurice Ravel set up a orcherstra version of it, as it was originally conceived for piano solo. 

The suite is Mussorgsky’s most famous piano composition and has become a showpiece for virtuoso pianists. It has become further known through various orchestrations and arrangements produced by other musicians and composers, with Maurice Ravel’s arrangement being by far the most recorded and performed.

The new production, follows the line of some our previous works, offering visual performance alongside the music that illustrates the atmospheres of each painting imagined  by Mussorgsky.
