Side A is the orchestra version of Pictures At An Exhibition. Stereo recording.
Side B (piano version) is a live recording from a concert in Sofia, Bulgaria, on February 25, 1958. Winner of a Grand Prix du Disque in 1960. This recording is in mono.
«The Suite consists of ten episodes, each with the title of one of Hartmann's drawings, preceded by a brief prelude, the Promenade, that acts as a connecting link to the picture. I. Gnomus. This represents a child's plaything fashioned after Hartmann's design in wood. It resembles the fames Nutcracker that Tchaikovsky described in music, the nuts being inserted in the gnome's mouth. "The gnome", writes Stassov, "accompanies his droll movements with savage shrieks." II. The Old Castle (Il Vecchio Castello). A medieval castle before which stands a troubadour. In Ravel's Orchestration, the plaintive song of the troubadour is given to the saxophone. III. Tuileries. An alley in Paris' Tuileries gardens. Children are quarreling over their games while groups of nurses look on. IV. Bydlo. An oxcart with enormous wheels rumbles down a country road. The driver sings a folk song that, in Ravel's orchestration, is given to the tuba. V. Ballet of the Chicks in their Shells. This section was inspired by sketches Hartmann made for the ballet "Trilbi", first produced at the Bolshoi Theater in 1871. The catalog for the Hartmann exhibition notes that there were canaries "enclosed in eggs as in suits of armor. Instead of a hed-dress, canary heads, put on like helmets, down to the neck." VI. Samuel Goldenberg and Schmuyle. This is based on two sketches of Hartmann's made in a small Polish town near Warsaw. One is of a rich Jew in a fur hat, slow, comfortable and rather pompous. The other sketch is of a poor Jew, fussy, excitable and voluble. The voice of the former is represented by the lower strings, the voice of the latter by a muted trumpet. VII. Limoges, the Market Place. This depicts

Mint [M]: Absolutely perfect in every way - certainly never played, possibly even still sealed. (More on still sealed below). Should be used sparingly as a grade, if at all.
------------------------------------------------------------ Near Mint [NM or M-]: A nearly perfect record. Many dealers won't give a grade higher than this implying (perhaps correctly) that no record is ever truly perfect. The record shows no obvious sign of wear. A 45 rpm sleeve has no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.
An LP jacket has no creases, folds, seam splits or any other noticeable similar defect. No cut-out holes, either. And of course, the same is true of any other inserts, such as posters, lyric sleeves, and the like. Basically, Near Mint looks as if you just got it home from a new record store and removed the shrink wrap.
------------------------------------------------------------ Very Good Plus [VG+]: Shows some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK.
The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but is should be barely noticeable. The center hole is not misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves and LP inner sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turn-up corners, or a slight seam-split. An LP jacket my have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print and sold at a discount.
In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint. All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus record highly acceptable.
------------------------------------------------------------ Very Good [VG]: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record are more pronounced in a VG disc. Surface noise is evident upon playing, especially in soft passages and during the song's intro and fade, but will not overpower the music otherwise. Groove wear will start to be noticeable, as will light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound.
Labels may be marred by writing, or have tape or stickers (or their residue) attached. The same will be true of picture sleeves or LP covers. However, it will not have all of these problems at the same time, only two or three of them.
------------------------------------------------------------ Good [G], Good Plus [G+]: Good does not mean bad! A record in Good or Good Plus condition can be put onto a turntable and will play through without skipping. But it will have significant surface noise and scratches and visible groove wear.
A jacket or sleeve has seam splits, especially at the bottom or on the spine. Tape, writing, ring wear or other defects will start to overwhelm the object. If it's a common item, you'll probably find another copy in better shape eventually. Pass it up. But if it's something you have been seeking for years, and the price is right, get it.
------------------------------------------------------------- Poor [P], Fair [F]: The record is cracked, badly warped, and won't play through without skipping or repeating. The picture sleeve is water damaged, split on all three seams and heavily marred by wear and/or writing. The LP jacket barely keeps the LP inside it. Inner sleeves are fully seam split, and written upon.
Except for impossibly rare records otherwise unattainable, records in this condition should be bought or sold for no more than a few cents each.
