Post Subject: Some good “Pictures at an Exhibition”…Posted by Romy the Cat on: 4/4/2007

As some of you know I do not like the orchestrated “Pictures”… There are a half dozen different orchestrated versions, including a concert version for a piano and orchestra but I prefer to say with a simple piano as properly performed it is more “impressive”. Here are some my selected pictures. They are not in the firm order but still in some kind of semi-rational order

Sviatoslav Richter 1958 and 1956
Vladimir Horowitz 1949 and 1951
William Kapell 1951
Maria Yudina 1967
Vladimir Ashkenazy 1976 only, not the recording form the end of the 90s
Nikolai Demidenko 1997
