I know PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION best by Ravel's orchestration, but Barry Douglas makes the piano sound like an orchestra!

Not too clear, I meant, no fault of Barry Douglas who I have regarded highly for years.

Lovely performance, as others have said, in parts the sound is not too good, but fault of Barry Douglas.
