Pictures At An Exhibition

Interesting twist of select pieces from Pictures At An Exhibition.

This is the best combination of animation and music from Animusic that I've seen.

 

[METALPRIEST]

Yeah animusic is really cool. I have a Kansas DVD where they did work for them.

 

[Big Ears]

I wouldn't mind an audio copy of that version of Pictures.

I like those "Vidoes" better than the run of the mill variety for sure.

I have...3 or 4 different versions of Modesto's most famous piece and I have to say I'm not a big fan of ELP's take on it, my Classical versions put it in the shade.

If you can get a copy of the old Telarc vinyl record it is the best one I've heard, I have the CD and it's very good too.

If you feel really adventurous check out Alfred Brendel's solo piano version, that is what it was intended to be, Ravel was the genius who transcribed it for full orchestra.

 

[Big Ears]

I've got an HMV version of Pictures, which is pretty good. I didn't know there was an Alfred Brendel version.

I've just looked it up on Wiki and he recorded piano and orchestral versions for Philips in 1996.

I love the Animusic Pictures vid. I watched more on YT. Loved them all so far. Really good!!

That's some awesome animation. I wish they did work for more prog bands.

 

[Big Ears]

Karn Evil 9 or Tarkus would be good.
