‘The two faces of Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky and Meijering’

We all know Mussorgsky’s Picture Exhibition, but now finally on the Russian instrument par excellence: the BAYAN, or, the accordion! The accordion duo TOEAC made an arrangement of this fantastic work and invited composer Chiel Meijering to give his personal addition to Mussorgsky’s paintings. Whereas Hartmann’s paintings inspired Mussorgsky for his masterpiece, Meijering was guided by Mondrian’s lines.

A musical museum in which the Russian and Dutch worlds are connected by TOEAC and its accordions.

– Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky, arr. TOEAC

– Rhythm of Straight Lines by Chiel Meijering (2012)
