  Pictures at an Exhibition (album) at AllExperts
Pictures at an Exhibition is an album by British progressive rock band Emerson, Lake & Palmer, released in 1971 as a live album and re-released in 2001 as a remastered edition including both live and studio versions of Mussorgsky's classical piece Pictures at an Exhibition.
The original album cover used a gatefold sleeve depicting, on the outside, blank picture frames labeled with the titles of the pieces: "The Old Castle", "The Gnome", etc. On the inside all the pictures were revealed, but one remains blank: "Promenade".
Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition was also performed in a different electronic arrangement by Isao Tomita and in a heavy metal adaptation by the German band Mekong Delta.

  EMERSON LAKE & PALMER (ELP) Pictures at an Exhibition review by Australian(Matt)
Emmerson, Lake and Palmer’s "Pictures at an Exhibition" is an adaptation of Mussorgsky’s original version which was a piano peice.
"Pictures at an Exhibition" is really a Symphonic progressive masterpiece, the idea of it was unique for its time and ELP started a new musical phase.
"Pictures at an Exhibition" is my favourite ELP album and it exceeds their other classic ELP albums, 'Tarkus', 'Trilogy' and 'Brain salad Surgery.' I highly recommend "Pictures at an Exhibition", it is one of, if not the most important Symphonic Prog albums, it is an essential in terms of symphonic albums.

Pictures at an Exhibition, orchestrated by Maurice Ravel.
The following year (1874), an exhibition was organized in honor of Hartmann, and Mussorgsky's visit to that show became the most famous gallery stroll of all time, Pictures at an Exhibition.
The Gnome was a design for a toy nutcracker; Tuileries was a scene of an empty garden (with no quarreling children); Bydlo (Polish for ``cattle'') was probably a drawing of an oxcart; Samuel Goldenberg and Schmuyle were separate drawings; and the Catacombs were a somewhat fanciful drawing that pictured the artist in the Paris tombs.

While this is an interesting disc overall for the many works of Mussorgsky, I feel that Ogawa's Pictures at an Exhibition is better taken in parts rather in its entirety.

 Amazon.com: Moussorgsky: Night on Bald Mountain/Pictures at an Exhibition: Music: Modest Mussorgsky,Lorin ...
Both Mussorgsky works on this recording are testimony to a number of interrelated factors: the warm acoustics of Severance Hall in Cleveland, the recording techniques of Telarc (using minmal microphone set-ups in ideal locations as pioneered by Robert Fine of Mercury Records), the muscianship of the orchestra, and the interpretive insights of Maazel.
The recording provides a heightened sense of realism, in which the ability of Maazel to draw out the inner lines of the music is supported by the technical genius of Bob Woods and Jack Renner and their Telarc team in providing the acoustical ambience for appreciating the work of conductor and orchestra.
Nowhere is this combination made clearer than in the closing pages of "The Great Gate of Kiev" in "Pictures at an Exhibition." The final perorations of the brass choir, in the concluding coda, are simply stunning in their top-to-bottom fullness and clarity.

 Classical Notes - Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, Classical Classics, Peter Gutmann
By alternating 6/4 and 5/4 time, its regular metric “walking” pace is thrown off-balance and cleverly suggests the hesitant gait of an art-lover strolling through a museum, attracted by upcoming pleasures but hesitant to leave the object at hand without a final glance at a telling detail.
But then, almost immediately, an amazing phenomenon began – while the original version generated little interest among pianists, over two dozen composers were seized by a compulsion to orchestrate it.
Some have claimed that his Pictures lacks the character and overt excitement of interpretations that more forcefully emphasize the individual color and drama of each section (or, as one put it, at the time of Koussevitzky's recording the paint was not yet dry).

Keith Emerson was known for slipping in a phrase or a few bars from a classical piece.
35 years after they first played Pictures, ELP is remembered as being pompous, bombastic - but I don't think you'll find too many performances that are as exciting as this.
