Modest Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition (orch. Ravel)
Музыка
NYO-USA performs Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, under the direction of David Robertson, in the orchestra’s Carnegie Hall debut on July 22, 2014. Watch additional highlights from this concert at: bit.ly/1nCz8oF
Modest Mussorgsky’s highly individual voice was long obscured by well-meaning editors and fellow composers who considered his unconventional harmonies and orchestrations crude. Pictures at an Exhibition-a suite of vividly drawn tonal sketches inspired by an exhibition of artworks by the composer’s friend Viktor Hartmann-was originally written for piano. However, it is best known in the masterful orchestration that Maurice Ravel made in 1922.

Each summer, Carnegie Hall's Weill Music Institute brings together the brightest young musicians from across the country (ages 16-19) to form the National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America (NYO-USA). In 2014, following a two-week training residency with leading professional orchestra musicians, these remarkable teenagers were joined by conductor David Robertson and violinist Gil Shaham for an eight-city coast-to-coast US tour.

It makes me so sad to see all the uninformed comments and all the hateful replies in this comment section. Music isn't about being right or wrong at all; it's about having an opinion, because that's what makes music so beautiful: the interpretation! Even if you don't like the piece, or the way the orchestra played it, or what some guy said about the recording, you should always try to see it from a positive viewpoint and raise others, and through that, yourself upwards. "The trumpet player cracked a note. He was probably nervous and felt terrible about that, so let's give him praise and encouragement so he can do better!" and other ideas like that are what makes one a true musician in their own right, because it's all about supporting the group, no? Let's stop the bickering and arguing and admire how well these kids played this piece!

Agreed, as a trumpet player and any brass players can relate to this, a solo like Pictures is hard to play under pressure, also considering this guy has cameras all on him and he's playing in a huge concert hall. He sounds great and plays great throughout the whole video and even if he cracked two notes, who cares? Everyone messes up.

Zander Grier I like to respond to critics by telling them I look forward to viewing their performance video.
My first introduction to this magnificent piece is when Emerson, Lake & Palmer released their recording of it back in the early 70s. Loved it ever since.

Thank you, NYO-USA. I enjoyed and appreciated this performance. An octogenarian, I've had a lifelong love of music, and especially when played with such feeling. I note this is 7 years old, so I'm late coming to the party. Still, belated or not, my thanks to all for the performance of a much loved work. I think what I liked as much as anything was David Robertson's smiles of enjoyment/encouragement. Bravo!

Music of my youth, born in 57 my Father was a musician and Band Director. I was raised on the Hand of Five, Classical is my foundation. Of course growing up in 60's and 70's Rock was always with me too. Then Emerson, Lake & Palmer produced their version of Mussorgsky's Pictures of an Exhibition. You should of seen my Fathers reaction to first hearing ELP rendition, he gave it his approval. How classical has influenced Rock, New Age and Techno could always be determined by those artists that first had that classical foundation. Played trumpet and baritone in band and always loved when Mussorgsky's compositions were selected.

As great as is the original piano work, the transcription by Ravel is just sheer genius. I'm sure if Mussorgsky had heard this, he would have been over the Moon.

Hello, (Zander Grier) You have a very good analysis on the report of this concert. Myself I admire such philharmonic which sometimes employ performers in the group, which must do without serious impact on the whole performance. There is nothing embarrassing in these few small incidents which can be estimated but which in no way hides the total performance of the driver and all the instrumentalists. I love your comment which makes me happy; I find that this concert that I have just listened to in full delights me with the spirit and the musicality of this long piece; modest Mussorgsky.
Bravo!!!
I think a lot of these commenters are a bit salty because they never made the top orchestra...:P

Its actually a great recording I heard instrumental nuances which I have never heard on other recordings.

When I listened to the piano ver. it didn't sound as much welling or upbeat but Ravels piece made it more amazing and exotic! It gave better rythmn and sound which I enjoy a lot in music. But music is mainly about your emotions and how you or the composer decides the rythmn and beat to be as! This piece and video was served a huge well done!!
Processional at our wedding was the opening part of this piece. An excellent non traditional piece for such as that.
