Now Keith Emerson is gone...

Keith Emerson turned the keyboard to the main instrument, no-one before him couldn´t do that. He became the master of the Hammond and Moog, the mightiest player of them all. He took symphonic classical music to another level, he made classical to rock´n´roll. "Pictures at an Exhibition" (March 1971) is a live recording rock version from Modest Mussorsky´s symphony, its Blue Variations section adds extra drama to this quite incredible performance of a simple rock group. 

I will play Intermezzo from Karelia (Sibelius) and Jerusalem in his memory.

Keith, after all your work there´s no more pain, now you have peace.
Thank you for the music. 

"They were played in my secondary system which consisted of a Parasound Halo Integrated Amp, Sony HAPZ1ES Music Player and Golden Ear Triton 2 Speakers."



Why the hell would you post that crap in a thread like this...??? 

Actually, Pictures at an Exhibition was composed for piano and later scored for full orchestra.

Right you are tostadosunidos. I have a Columbia LP I bought new in 1970 of a live solo piano performance (recorded in the 1950's, I believe) of the original composition. A nice alternative to the orchestrated version.
