MUSSORGSKY, M.: Pictures at an Exhibition album coverNashville Symphony Orchestra under Leonard Slatkin has just released a new recording of Pictures at an Exhibition with each movement transcribed for orchestra by a different arranger.

Some of the arrangers, like Vladimir Askhenazy and Leopold Stokowski are well known, others are not.

But all have been moved by Mussorgsky’s music, and all have created brilliant arrangements.

    Absolutely brilliant. It's wonderful to hear such a familiar work in a new light, in both orchestration - and in the case of podcast host Raymond Bisha - narration as well.

    The link goes to a page that tells me it's not available? When will it be released?
  • Hi Alex,

    My apologies, the hyperlink you're referring to had a typo. It is now fixed. The album in question is indeed available already.

    Thank you for your continue support of Naxos.
