Johannes Brahms
Piano Concerto No. 2 in B‐flat major , op. 83
Modest Petrovich Musorgsky
Pictures of an Exhibition (orch. Maurice Ravel)
The occasion of a visit to the posthumous exhibition of drawings by his friend the architect Viktor Hartmann, who died at the age of 39 in 1873, provided Modest Mussorgsky with the cue for a suite of powerfully imaginative piano pieces that, between promenades through the exhibition halls, describes ten pictures behind which as many moods are concealed, leading up to the triumphant final vision of the Great Gate of Kiev. Ravel, on whom Russian music and particularly that of Mussorgsky always exerted a great attraction, was so captivated by the charm of the Pictures that he produced an orchestral version of them that became not only famous for its unparalleled coloristic richness, but even paradigmatic.
