Pictures at an Exhibition/Mussorgsky/Leibowitz/Part-1 (of 3)

Rare. Rene Leibowitz conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in this fantastic performance of Pictures (Ravel Orchestration), from 1962.
An incredible record (RCA) with Pictures on one side and Night on Bare Mountain on the other (sorry the album cover art is blurry). (Both on YouTube)
This is my favorite version of Pictures and Rene Leibowitz is my favorite composer/conductor.
Enjoy!
Rene Leibowitz (1913-1972) was born in Warsaw but moved to Paris in his teens and there began a long, illustrious conducting career. Particularly interested in contemporary music, he studied with Webern and Schoenberg and wrote a detailed analysis of twelve-tone music. A keen ear for instrumental coloration (Ravel was his orchestration teacher) was evident in his kaleidoscopic transcriptions of such works as Bach's Passacaglia and Fugue in C (for double orchestra!). But he is best known for his often highly personal renditions of many staples of the Classical and Romantic repertoire.

We played this in high school. It was cool then and it's still cool now! I love the Russian 5. I played the sax solo and it was great fun bring a sax to an orchestra concert.

The trumpet sounds a bit out of tune in the opening bars. I always like to hear new renditions of this wonderful piece, though. Thanks for posting
