"Pictures From Exhibition" best recording?

There is another classic and very good performance on Mercury Living Presence. The CD reissue of Dorati's orchestral version is coupled with a previouly unreleased solo piano version performed by Byron Janis. The transfer to CD was done by Wilma Cozart fine. Well worth getting for either performance, especially since these reissue CD's are priced below $ 13

Alexc's suggestion is a good one, as is the Knight version. My favorite, probably because it was the first piano performance of it I heard, is the Horowitz recording on RCA, which I have somewhere in my records in glorious mono, a marvellous performance. I would love to hear the Richter, as I always have admired his artistry.

hey, has everyone forgotten about emmerson, lake and palmer? -cfb

Of course I forgot, I'm over 50, remember?

I have a recording by Barry Douglas. It was recorded in 1986, in his winning Tchaikovsky piano competition performance. It is on CD, at Tower Records for $7.99;

Also have a nice recording by Ashkenazy. It is on LP or on a CD at Tower Records for $14.99. The Ashkenazy recording has both the solo piano version played by Ashkenazy and then Ashkenazy conducting the orchestra version.
