Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Pictures At An Exhibition (CD, 1987, Atlantic 7567-81521-2, German Reissue)

Why This CD Matters
Pictures At An Exhibition documents Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s progressive-rock adaptation of Modest Mussorgsky’s classical suite, recorded live at Newcastle City Hall on March 26, 1971. Keith Emerson’s arrangement reshapes Mussorgsky’s themes around keyboards, Greg Lake’s vocals and bass, and Carl Palmer’s percussion, while adding original material including “The Sage” and “Blues Variation.” The program concludes with the group’s arrangement of “Nutrocker,” based on Tchaikovsky’s music and Kim Fowley’s earlier rock adaptation.
