Pletnev at his best (and Virgin too, for such a price); indispensable November 29, 2006

This is quite the bargain: two discs of piano music for the cost of one mid-priced disc! Please excuse the poor cover, a sticky note fixes it quite well.
Pletnev does fabulously in Pictures at an Exhibition, as one would expect. He does not hesitate to fill in the blanks were Mussorgsky left them (and a few places were he didn't; but generally only as far as tremolo notes goes. His dynamics are wonderful). This is not, as it may seem, a disadvantage to this recording. The result of any "changes" is wholly convincing; Pletnev moves closer to the spirit of the music. His playing is of the virtuoso caliber without being ostentatious, even in The Great Gate of Kiev. Indispensable.
Pletnev's own arrangement of The Sleeping Beauty is very sensible, symphonic, and, at times, simply breathtaking. This album includes Pletnev's second, finer recording of Tchaikovsky's piano suite, the Seasons. His first on RCA was a bit slow, but the present, Virgin/EMI account surpasses all. His poetic insight is not to the replaced. The Six Pieces, Op. 21 are neglected music that should me heard more often. They do take a few listens to fully appreciate.
This album is piano music at its best.
