Quadros de uma exposição
Event
Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition is one of the great masterpieces of Russian music and, being a favorite piece of the general public, is one of the most celebrated orchestration that Ravel has done of pieces by other authors. Based on the paintings and drawings by the painter Viktor Hartmann, we find mythological creatures like the gnome who runs with deformed legs or the witch Baba-Yaga. A distinctive element of this work is the Promenade, which in its various versions represents the path that a visitor takes between the different pictures and rooms of an imaginary museum. In this commented concert, Rui Pereira tells us the fantastic stories behind the images and the music.
