Far from being just a collection of character pieces, Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition represents a musical journey. The work was created as an act of homage to his friend, the artist Victor Hartmann, who had died in 1873 at the age of 39. One of the most famous works of the classical music repertoire, Pictures from an Exhibition first came to prominence not in its original form but in an orchestration by Maurice Ravel. This recording features the original epic piano work, along with five works by Sergei Rachmaninov including the world premiere recording of the Piano Piece in A-flat major, which was discovered by Scott Davie in the Library of Congress, Washington.

Scott Davie is well known to audiences as a soloist in recitals and concertos. He has given concerts throughout Australia and his performances and recordings are frequently broadcast on radio. His first solo CD, Lilacs, featuring the music of Sergei Rachmaninov, was released by ABC Classics in 2002.

This CD was recorded on the Overs 225 grand piano (No. 005), designed and manufactured by Ron Overs of Overs Pianos, Sydney.
