Default Re: Help me put a name to this classical music piece...

Overture or Intro to "Pictures at an Exhibition" by Mussorgsky (sp?).

Rimsky-Korsakov also did an orchestral version, with a lone trumpet starting the melody.

There are a few different orchestrations of the piece. I think you are thinking of the one by Ravel not Rimsky-Korsakov.


For the OP, if you're looking for a recording of the original piano version, try and find Sviatoslav Richter's Sofia Recital on the Phillips label.

For the orchestral version look for Reiner and the Chicago Symphony on RCA/Living Stereo.
