Customer Reviews

One of Pletnev's finest CDs5
In my opinon this is the only version of Pictures at an Exhibition that comes close to that of Richter's. Pletnev has great tonal control and his dynamics are brilliant, especially in the Ballet of the unhatched chicks and the final Great Gate of Kiev.

Although Mussorgsky's work is undeniably the star piece, Pletnev's transcriptions of Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty are also excellent. Taking the best parts from the ballet he weaves them into a suite of pianistic brilliance enforcing his reputation as one of the world's best pianists.
