Modest Mussorgsky: “Pictures at an Exhibition”
モデスト ムソルグスキー：「展覧会での絵」
TIME COMMITMENT: 34 minutes
This palatial, raw, multifarious composition essentially forms a catchy song cycle of a vaguely folksy resonance. It is unmistakably Russian but remains original in its self-styled collection of pastoral themes. Kissin in the original version may awe, but the Ravelian orchestration of the piece (here recorded from Japanese TV) is highly recommended. Note the wake-up clarion used to replace the right-hand intro in “Promenade”.

A REFLECTION
Because it is so very clear,
It takes longer to come to the realization.
If you know at once candlelight is fire,
The meal has long been cooked.
