Pictures at an Exhibition is a live album by the English progressive rock band Emerson, Lake & Palmer, released in November 1971 on Island Records. It is a recording of the band's arrangement of Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky, performed at Newcastle City Hall on 26 March 1971. Emerson wished to arrange the piece after seeing an orchestral performance of it several years before. He bought a copy of the score, and pitched the idea to Lake and Palmer, who agreed to adapt it.

Tomita's "Pictures at an Exhibition" sounds like something composed for four dimensions by chrome angels from the future, created from an alternate reality for some new plane of consciousness. Thirty years later, it's still relevant. This electronic realization magnifies the vision and emotions evoked in the original Mussorgsky piano compositions, interprets them with bolder imagery. He has another album just as accomplished in my estimation, Tomita: Firebird. For some reason, as unarguably good as it is, it's been out of circulation for years, and you'd have to pay with a vital organ to procure a copy. Its surreal spacial quality was bounded by a more recognizable earthbound deference to melody than "Pictures at an Exhibition. But the Tomita's rendition of "Night on Bald Mountain" had the best of all worlds. Clearly Mussorgsky's music lends itself easily to electronic interpretation.

He adds much of his own personality to the new arrangements so they are not straight technical knockoffs. Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition takes on new meanings under Tomita 's sensitive and sensible rendering. He is not re-inventing the wheel so all of the original drama and humor is there but the new hooks and riffs have moxy and their own senses of drama and humor. The ambient atmospheres and sci-fi textures give this version an outer space persona.

An exceptional album that sounds like a literal nightmare in audio, in the best kind of way. Haunting but beautiful and quite creative. Kinda makes the songs almost feel as if they were composed for the keyboard.
