Peter Jablonski performs

Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition &

Liszt: Works including Ballade No.2 & Hungarian Rhapsody No.11

'His new recording "Pictures of an Exhibition" by Modest Mussorgsky is highly commendable and enjoyable'

'The percussive and rhythmic precision and articulation makes this recording stand out, which by no means only portrays the harsh and brutal elements: The children's talk, following the play in the "Tulleries", is interpreted with great tenderness and precision'

He then finishes with the delicate En reve.
