'Grade: A+. Once again, as good as I've heard this
record sound. Gorgeous strings, superb bass,
avalanche dynamics with that same tape-like ease,
sensational inner detail. The authority of the CSO
is really something on fortissimo tuttis, of
which there are many in Pictures.' ? Jonathan

Another sonic and musical blockbuster from the
unbeatable combo of Reiner and RCA (and Mohr &
Layton). Recorded in 1957 at Chicago's Orchestra
Hall; the original analog session tapes were used
in mastering for LPs and SACDS. Mussorgsky's
inspiration for Pictures was the death of his dear
friend, the architect and visual artist Victor
Hartman. Having died at age 39, Hartman had not
yet had the opportunity to realize any of his
architectural visions, and Mussorgsky was angered
that his friend would have no legacy. The
Architects' Society arranged an exhibition of some
of Hartman's sketches ? some of architecture,
others of characters or scenes from everyday life.
The tribute was enough to give Mussorgsky ideas
for his composition, but not enough to give
Hartman any lasting place in history. Today, of
all of the sketches that were captured in music,
only six can be positively identified.

The piece is known today primarily through the
orchestral version created by Maurice Ravel in
1922. In fact, the work had already been
orchestrated multiple times, by a variety of
lesser names. Some conductors today find that
Ravel's version, in spite of its color, sacrifices
some of the coarse nature inherent in
Mussorgsky's piano original. Furthermore, Ravel
worked from Rimsky-Korsakov's edited version of
the piano part ? the only one available at the
time ? which changed some notes and rhythms.

None of the orchestrations, however, change the
fundamental spirit of the piece. Mussorgsky
imagines himself making his way down the hallway
that showcased his late friend's work, with his
stately procession represented by the Promenade
that opens the piece and returns several times.
Upon stopping at each image, he reflects on what
he sees. Between the early movements, the
promenade returns regularly, as Mussorgsky is
conscious of moving from one scene to the next. As
the work progresses, however, he becomes less
aware of the interval between pictures, and more
immersed in the continuous psychological
experience of moving from one state of mind to the
next. By the end, the composer sees himself
transformed by the connection with Hartman through
his visual expressions of Russian pride and
humanity.
