Modest Mussorgsky (orch. Henry Wood): Pictures at an Exhibition

Paul Lewis (piano)
City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra
Kazuki Yamada (conductor)

The pictures Modest Mussorgsky saw at an exhibition in 1874 were fantastical and surreal 鈥� uniting objects and animals, poetic atmosphere and architectural precision. The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra鈥檚 Prom under Kazuki Yamada presents a rare opportunity to hear the music those images inspired in Mussorgsky in the picturesque orchestration by Proms founder-conductor Henry Wood, which pre-dates Ravel鈥檚 by seven years. Ravel fans can revel in the enchanted world of his fairy-tale ballet Mother Goose. In addition, there鈥檚 Mozart鈥檚 probing final piano concerto and a welcome outing for Augusta Holme虁s鈥檚 hypnotic interlude 鈥楲a nuit et l鈥檃mour鈥�.
