Variations on the piano version of Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" :
Vladimir Ashkenazy: lush, informal, delicate, open, frolicsome, edgy, adventurous.
Awadagin Pratt: formal, icy, imperial, geometric, pure, crystalline. Pratt is the emperor of the night, each keystroke the fall of a single meteor, and if they sometimes fall in showers, they lose no precision for having done so.
Sviatoslav Richter: two carnivorous hands devouring notes in ornate swaths of flavor.
