Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition
OVCC-00002
This is an all-Mussorgsky album. This appears to be the first
recording in the world of the brass ensemble version of Pictures at an
Exhibition. The album also includes Night on Bald Mountain and
Dawn on the Moscow River. The unique vibrato technique and the
contrast between fortissimo and pianissimo deserve attention.

five ensemble members pose for the camera in front of a steam
engine.
