Our Take

If Pitchfork reviewed classical music, it might read something like this:

"VLADIMIR ASHKENAZY's rendition of Mussorgsky's Pictures At An Exhibition is a waltz through the whimsical and strange. Ashkenazy's nimble fingers dance across the keys, bringing to life each vivid picture painted by Mussorgsky's iconic work.

From the haunting "Promenade" to the playful "Tuileries," Ashkenazy navigates the various moods with precision and flair. His interpretation of the stately "Great Gate of Kiev" is grandiose yet delicate, capturing the awe-inspiring beauty of this final movement with grace.

Each piece is a mini masterpiece in its own right, showcasing Ashkenazy's technical mastery and emotional depth. The haunting melodies of "The Old Castle" linger in the air long after the final note has been played, while the frenetic energy of "The Hut on Fowl's Legs" leaves listeners breathless with excitement.

Overall, Ashkenazy's interpretation of Pictures At An Exhibition is a triumph. His blend of technical prowess and artistic sensitivity make this album a must-listen for any classical music aficionado. So grab your top hat and join us for a musical adventure through the halls of this virtual art exhibition."
