 | Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibitioninstr Maurice Ravel 1922
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Mariss Jansons (chief conductor) Recorded Live Concertgebouw Amsterdam on 22, 23 May & 29 Aug 2008. A special-priced release on RCO Live of Mussorgsky's much-loved Pictures at an exhibition in Ravel's orchestration. Recorded live at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, Mariss Jansons and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, on magnificent form, produce a wonderful palette of colours and sonority in this dazzling orchestral piece. “Whereas some interpretations tend to coarsen the edges of Ravel’s instrumental sonorities in a bid to make them sound more “Russian”, Jansons treats the music with the finesse that was one of Ravel’s hallmarks.” The Telegraph, 20th January 2010 **** |

Of course the music has to be ‘rewritten’. Here they include Rimsky Korsakov’s Sadko and Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. |

 | Mussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition & Night on The Bare Mountain
Russian National Orchestra, Carlo Ponti Jr These well known pieces are presented in superb SACD sound. Carlo Ponti Jr. is the son of Carlo Ponti Sr. and Sophia Loren and is a regular conductor of the Russian National Orchestra. “Carlo Ponti…brings out the Russian-ness of Mussorgsky's inspiration with each of the pictures sharply characterised… The wind solos are specially impressive, as is the horn descant in the "Great Gate of Kiev". In short, an excellent version of a much-recorded showpiece. Night on the Bare Mountain comes in the highly unauthentic but undeniably effective Rimsky version, brilliantly played here with powerful bite.” Gramophone Magazine, June 2009 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Berliner Philharmoniker, Sir Simon Rattle The works on this album will be recorded at the famous Silvesterkonzert (New Year’s Concert) on New Year’s Eve at the Philharmonie, Berlin. The concert will be televised by major stations in Germany, Austria, Japan and other licensees. The turnaround of this recording will be extremely fast to allow the CD and download to be available in the shops in January. “In Pictures at an Exhibition I cannot imagine a performance truer to the finesse of Ravel's scoring. In the opening "Promenade" alone there are myriad subtleties of phasing and dynamics. What we have here is a sequence of exquisitely crafted miniatures; the French-ness of Ravek's fastidious work is everywhere.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
