The first half features Koczor Péter’s virtuoso piano rendition of Musorgsky’s original composition, showcasing its intricate textures and dynamic contrasts. The second half offers Maurice Ravel’s iconic orchestration of the suite, performed with grandeur by the Hungarian State Orchestra under the direction of Gyula Németh.
