Old Wine in a New Bottle
By one count, at least 80 different composers have made arrangements and orchestrations of Modest Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition," a work for solo piano. That number is now up to 81, thanks to a new orchestration by Clarice Assad. We'll hear this terrific new arrangement for small orchestra, piano, and percussion, in a performance by the New Century Chamber Orchestra in Berkeley, California.
