Isao Tomita has a real talent for transcribing classical music on the synthesizer. He adds much of his own personality to the new arrangements so they are not straight technical knockoffs. Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition takes on new meanings under Tomita's sensitive and sensible rendering. He is not re-inventing the wheel so all of the original drama and humor is there but the new hooks and riffs have moxy and their own senses of drama and humor. The ambient atmospheres and sci-fi textures give this version an outer space persona. It has become a stroll through an art gallery deep in the Milky Way. This is not quite Tomita's best work but it is close. ~ Jim Brenholts

Tomita's classic reinterpretation of the Mussorgsky classic on synthesizers was an aural expanding experience when it was first issued as the followup to the breakthru "Snowflakes Are Dancing". This edition features the original tapes remixed into surround sound!

Mussorgsky: Pictures At An Exhibition Music Review

Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

4 stars reconnecting with an old friend
In the late 1970s I'd play this work often on vinyl. It was a fresh interpretation of this classic work then and remains so. I still very much enjoy Tomita's electronic version of Mussorgsky's musical journey.
