"Pictures From Exhibition" best recording?

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.

Performance-wise, I can also suggest Benno Moiseiwitch (2cd/mono -"Appian" - compilation of '38-'45 recordings). Richter & Horowitz are also among my favourites.
