Of Note for Wednesday, October 28, 2015: Chills at an Exhibition

KUAF | By Bonnie Slaughter
Published October 27, 2015 at 8:05 PM CDT

Modest Mussorgsky’s classic Pictures at an Exhibition leads listeners through a musical interpretation of art by Viktor Hartmann. Originally written as a piano showpiece, its dramatic gestures and spooky twists can be chilling, perfectly lending themselves to the Halloween season. On Wednesday’s program, tune in for a vintage recording of Maurice Ravel’s orchestral arrangement of this timeless piece as performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
