Toscanini regarded this orchestration of ‘Pictures At an Exhibition’ as a genuine treatise on instrumentation, on a par with that of Berlioz. Scored for the same instrumental forces as ‘La Valse’, Ravel’s version quickly established itself ahead of all the many competing orchestrations of Mussorgsky’s piano suite. In Francois-Xavier Roth’s view, ‘La Valse’ and the ‘Pictures’ together represent the peak of the composer’s output for the symphony orchestra of his time – that is to say, as the musicians of Les Siecles reconstruct it for us today. What a joy to get back to the original colours of this music.
