Hailed as the greatest Russian classical piano composition, Mussorgskys Pictures at an Exhibition takes us deep into the labyrinth of the human psyche in the clever disguise of program music its no wonder it has been an endless source of inspiration for creative musicians in the last 150 years. Estonian pianist Kristjan Randalu whose playing was described as an unnameable exotic land by Jazz Times revisits the cycle with an unlikely ally: veteran jazz saxophone legend Dave Liebman. While staying faithful to the original in spirit and structure, Randalu and Liebman reimagine and recreate each musical painting anew with immediacy and fervour, mixing generous improvisations into the Promenades, and carrying Mussorgskys music well into the 21st century.
