NYO-USA performs Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, under the direction of David Robertson, in the orchestra’s Carnegie Hall debut on July 22, 2014. Watch additional highlights from this concert at: bit.ly/1nCz8oF
Modest Mussorgsky’s highly individual voice was long obscured by well-meaning editors and fellow composers who considered his unconventional harmonies and orchestrations crude. Pictures at an Exhibition-a suite of vividly drawn tonal sketches inspired by an exhibition of artworks by the composer’s friend Viktor Hartmann-was originally written for piano. However, it is best known in the masterful orchestration that Maurice Ravel made in 1922.

It makes me so sad to see all the uninformed comments and all the hateful replies in this comment section. Music isn't about being right or wrong at all; it's about having an opinion, because that's what makes music so beautiful: the interpretation! Even if you don't like the piece, or the way the orchestra played it, or what some guy said about the recording, you should always try to see it from a positive viewpoint and raise others, and through that, yourself upwards. "The trumpet player cracked a note. He was probably nervous and felt terrible about that, so let's give him praise and encouragement so he can do better!" and other ideas like that are what makes one a true musician in their own right, because it's all about supporting the group, no? Let's stop the bickering and arguing and admire how well these kids played this piece!

Agreed, as a trumpet player and any brass players can relate to this, a solo like Pictures is hard to play under pressure, also considering this guy has cameras all on him and he's playing in a huge concert hall. He sounds great and plays great throughout the whole video and even if he cracked two notes, who cares? Everyone messes up.

Music of my youth, born in 57 my Father was a musician and Band Director. I was raised on the Hand of Five, Classical is my foundation. Of course growing up in 60's and 70's Rock was always with me too. Then Emerson, Lake & Palmer produced their version of Mussorgsky's Pictures of an Exhibition. You should of seen my Fathers reaction to first hearing ELP rendition, he gave it his approval. How classical has influenced Rock, New Age and Techno could always be determined by those artists that first had that classical foundation. Played trumpet and baritone in band and always loved when Mussorgsky's compositions were selected.

@elainescott4702 Ай бұрын

Emerson Lake and Palmer were an exceptional band and I too have always been a devoted fan and miss them terribly! It was inspiring that a band produced the classics in a rock style genre which worked exceptionally well for audiences to appreciate!

Hello, (Zander Grier) You have a very good analysis on the report of this concert. Myself I admire such philharmonic which sometimes employ performers in the group, which must do without serious impact on the whole performance. There is nothing embarrassing in these few small incidents which can be estimated but which in no way hides the total performance of the driver and all the instrumentalists. I love your comment which makes me happy; I find that this concert that I have just listened to in full delights me with the spirit and the musicality of this long piece; modest Mussorgsky.

But music is mainly about your emotions and how you or the composer decides the rythmn and beat to be as! This piece and video was served a huge well done!!
