Pictures at the Exhibition is largely known through the orchestral version by Ravel. However, the original is a piano work, and one should listen to the original and not to Ravel's shenanigans in order to appreciate it. This was the opinion of Svyatoslav Richter, one of the greatest pianists who believed that Mussorgsky's talent was next to none. Richter himself recorded the work, and his interpretation is considered golden standard. On this DVD, there is another version that rivals the Richter's. It is nuanced, inspired and passionate. If you are not Musorgsky's fan, you will become one after hearing it. The pianist, Nobuyuki Tsujii, is congenitally blind. He doesn't know how he looks like while playing, but a viewer will see how he is entranced with the music.
