Thanks for the suggestions, i'll go into the local classical store and see if they have any of the suggested cds...except this one.


The sample made my face hurt.

You'll be doing well to find one.

Have one here in Nottingham, was in there and there was people 'updating' their collections from this place.

Ah yes. The UK would be far more civilised about such things. :-)

There was a man there who had a hat, thats good enough for me.

I will venture a recommendation:

Jean Guillou on the Dorian Label
Recorded in The Tonhalla, Zürich

I just happen to have the Pictures At An Exhibition from the same venue, label and performer. Very good sound!

Edit: Sorry his version is very "free" in terms of tempos etc. So this may not be to your liking...

No no NO!

Ha haa... Knew I was WRONG (insert buzzer sound) on that one ;)

Ah look, I actually have the recording myself. I just wish that Guillou would use his phenomenal technique for good rather than evil.

How about full Fantasia treatment? The Stokowski transcription played by the Philadelphia Orchestra under Wolfgang Sawallisch.
