These images leave a deep mark in the memory: Bydło, the old ox cart that rumbles past us, the gloomy catacombs, the strange goings-on in the Tuileries, the great gate of Kiev. The artist’s name has almost been forgotten, but the paintings live on because Modest Mussorgsky translated them into sound with such genius. “Pictures at an Exhibition”, a one-of-a-kind museum visit, a global hit.

Kaleidoscope, the name of the new album, is a consciously ambiguous title, as in addition to Mussorgsky this recording includes “La Valse” by Maurice Ravel and three movements from Igor Stravinsky’s ballet “Petrushka”– three works that all exist in two versions, for piano and orchestra; that have all been choreographed as ballet; three works to be contemplated with the inner eye.
