"Pictures From Exhibition" best recording?


This is one of my favorite piano pieces by Musorgski that I want to inquire about best recordings available(vinyl, red-book CD or HDCD)

with the Janis/Mercury recording....
I find the piano version very uninspired..almost mechanical.. and sonically , at least on my gear, it is as though
the piano is miked too closely..perhaps it is the remastering...
On the other hand, the orchestral version is moving and emotional...and worth the price of the cd for it alone.
