Title: The Measuring Stick for all Other "Pictures"
Review: There really isn't another recording of pictures that comes close to this one, the annoying cougher notwithstanding. If I had to make a second choice, it would most likely be Byron Janis' on Mercury Living Presence in superb sound, coupled with the orchestral (Ravel) version conducted by Antal Dorati. The small works by Liszt, Chopin & Rachmaninov are the icing on this very sweet cake.
