The Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky (1839-1881) was self-educated to a large extent but went on to become one of the ?Mighty Five? which also included Balakirev, Cui, Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakov. Today he is considered the innovator of Russian music par excellence. He composed Pictures at an Exhibition in 1874, inspired by ten pictures produced by his then recently deceased friend, the Russian architect and artist Victor Hartmann. The French composer Maurice Ravel made an orchestration of Mussorgsky?s composition in 1922 which is now more well-known and more performed than the original piano suite. For his transcription of Pictures at an Exhibition, Tohru Takahashimade use of the original piano composition by Mussorgsky. The Great Gate of Kiev, issued here separately, is probably the best known melody from this classical masterpiece. De Russische componist Moessorgsky (1839-1881) componeerde Pictures at an Exhibition (Schilderijententoonstell ing) in 1874. Zijn inspiratiebron vormden tien schilderijen van de hand van zijn overleden vriend Victor Hartmann,een Russisch architect en kunstenaar. De Franse componist Maurice Ravel maakte in 1922 een orkestratie van Moessorgsky’s compositie - deze is bekender en wordt meer uitgevoerd dan de oorspronkelijke pianosuite. Voor zijn ¬transcriptievan Pictures at an Exhibition gebruikte Tohru Takahahsi echter de originele compositie van Moessorgski. Dit afzonderlijk uitgegeven deel, The Great Gate at Kiev, is waarschijnlijk het bekendst.Obwohl der russische Komponist Modest Petrowitsch Mussorgski hauptsächlich als Komponist von Opern und Liedern bekannt ist, schrieb er auch eine Anzahl von bedeutenden Klavierwerken, wie zum Beispiel die weltberühmte Suite Bilder einer Ausstellung, die vielen besser in der Orchestrierung von Maurice Ravel bekannt ist. Für seine Transkription von Bilder einer Ausstellung griff Tohru Takahashi jedoch auf die ursprüngliche Komposition von Mussorgski zurück. Der separat veröffentlichte Satz Das große Tor von Kiew ist daraus der wohl bekannteste Teil, der immer wieder gerne gespielt und gehört wird.Modest Moussorgski (1839-1881) est considéré comme le grand innovateur de la musique russe. Il a réalisé ses plus grandes créations dans le domaine lyrique, mais n’a jamais manqué de composer des oeuvres pour piano dont le célèbre cycle Tableaux d’une Exposition. Dixième et dernier tableau de la suite, La grande porte de Kiev est certainement le mouvement le plus connu du public. Modest Moussorgski (1839-1881) è considerato il più grande innovatore della musica russa. Ha realizzato le sue più grandi creazioni nel campo della musica lirica, ma ha anche composto opere per pianoforte tra le quali il celebre ciclo Quadri di un’esposizione. Decimo ed ultimo quadro della suite, La grande porta di Kiev è certamente il movimento più conosciuto dal pubblico.

Leo's Brouwer's Pictures At Another Exhibition, with a title that tips a hat to the Mussorgsky suite of 1874, is presented here for a chamber group of Piano, Horn and Violin. The Cuban composer has created a set of programmatic musical depictions inspired by six works of art ranging from Bosch's Garden Of Earthly Delights to Rauschenberg's Pop Construction. This set consists of six Piano scores, and may be performed in any order or combination. Ideal for chamber performances, or for a smaller ensemble as part of a larger concert, the pieces offer an unusual and exciting addition to any repertoire, and are brimming with the vitality and energy of Brouwer's Cuban origins. Movements are as follows: The Garden Of Earthly Delights: Hieronymus Bosch Portrait Du Chopin: Eugene Delacroix Los Desastres De La Guerra: Francisco Goya The Jungle: Wilfredo Lam Reclining Nude: Amadeo Modigliani Pop Construction: Robert Rauschenberg.
