★ 原始鋼琴曲於1961年錄製，此為首度發行LP版。

歌劇「霍望奇納」選曲

前奏曲及波斯奴隸之舞

安東杜拉第指揮明尼亞波里交響樂團

鋼琴：堅尼斯

五○年代堅尼斯在巴黎獨奏會首演就以「展覽會之畫」轟動一時，但是這個錄音卻到六○年代才開始灌錄。當初的母帶不知何故遺失，直到九○年代初才失而復得。堅尼斯的技巧、演繹重現穆索斯基的樂曲風範，加上杜拉第同樣曲目管弦樂版的經典演出，更是難得的選擇。

Modest Moussorgsky: Pictures At An Exhibition (orginal and orchestral version by Maurice Ravel), Two excerpts from "Khovanshchina" - Byron Janis / The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra conducted by Antal Dorati      
      
The orchestral version of Mussorgsky’s musical picture gallery has always been one of the most popular works ever heard in concert halls all over the world. Originally written for the piano, the unsuccessful composer never heard the work in all its symphonic glory, although many of his contemporaries had often been tempted to arrange his works. As early as 1891, ten years after his death, Mikhail Tushmalov – a pupil of Rimsky-Korsakov – presented a first version. However, it is Maurice Ravel’s orchestral version from 1922 that remains unsurpassed to this day. His arrangement amalgamates the original force and angularity of the piano with the brilliance of a modern orchestra.
The transparent and powerful performance by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra is complemented by an equally fascinating version from one of Mercury’s main pianists, Byron Janis. In listening to the two interpretations one after the other it becomes clear as to how closely Ravel remained true to the original version while still managing to imbue his genial orchestral version with his own tonal conception. The solo piano recording, released for the first time on vinyl, will certainly be of special interest to record collectors.
