Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition/...: - Modest Mussorgsky [CD]

A Russian orchestral showcase from Vasily Petrenko and the award winning Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra present a programme of Russian orchestral classics - with some surprises. Ravel's brilliant orchestration of Mussorgsky's 'Pictures At an Exhibition' and Khachaturian's sumptuously romantic suite from his ballet 'Spartacus' with its famous 'Adagio' keep company with Kabalevsky's fizzing overture to his opera 'Colas Breugnon' and Shchedrin's 'Naughty Limericks' plus a wistful Rachmaninov song in beautiful orchestral arrangement.
