If you’d like to hear a sonically spectacular version, Jean Guillou transcribed it for organ and it was recorded on the Dorian label. It will give your subs a workout. I love it.
+1. "Gnomus" will tell you just how far your sub(s) REALLY go. 😉
Pictures at an Exhibition
For someone who studied music in college, I somehow managed to miss Moussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition until now. I admit I’m not a fan of large-scale orchestral works, so I avoided it not knowing that it was originally written for solo piano. I picked up both CD and vinyl copies of the solo piano version and I think it is fabulous. A wonderful mix of simplicity and virtuosity and I can’t recommend it highly enough. I’m definitely tempted to pick up another version.
Plese let me know if you are aware of any outstanding performances of this piece. Thanks

So this is funny- I said above that I ordered the Yamashita guitar version on CD, but apparently I ordered the sheet music, which looks like what we used to call flyshit back in my musical years, meaning a lot of notes. I have a friend who plays guitar that will probably like to fool around with it. A lesson to read carefully. |
I play guitar as well, but never learned to sight read despite knowing the notes, the musical staff, etc. I wish your friend ALL the luck in the world with his pages of flyshit. Even if I COULD sight read, I expect it would drive me BATshit. |
@mahler123 - Yamashita transcribed it for guitar and recorded it as well. BTW, I retuned it. Nobody I know could come remotely close to playing it. |
