	Classical Notes - Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, Classical Classics, Peter Gutmann
		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).
		If Stokowski's transcription treated the orchestra as a mammoth virtuoso instrument, pianist Vladimir Horowitz applied a similar outlook to his own adaptation that was clearly attuned to project his fabulous technical wizardry.
		Although there had been others, it was a recording of an extraordinary 1958 Sviatoslav Richter recital in Sofia, Bulgaria (Philips 464 734) that refocused public attention on the merit of the original.
