Petrouchka arranged for two accordions is not unlike the original, since the composer's push-button winds and biting, nasal strings resemble nothing if not a giant orchestral squeeze box. Little is lost in this "de-orchestration"--for example, percussion passages are dealt with by whacking the accordion's sides. Stravinsky's Tango also lies well on the instrument, but the players miss the music's ironic bite. James Crabb and Geir Draugsvoll recast Pictures at an Exhibition with dazzling ingenuity. Their prim and spotless virtuosity, however, transforms Mussorgsky's raging, elemental lion into an agreeable, domestic kitty cat. Nevertheless, accordion fanciers will be enticed. Move over, Lawrence Welk!

Serge Koussevitzky was one of the musical giants of the 20th century. As a publisher in his native Russia he brought out the early works of Stravinsky. For his Concerts Kousevitzky in Paris in the early 1920's he commissioned Maurice Ravel to create his orchestration of Modest Mussorgsky's ''Pictures at an Exhibition.'' When he became conductor of the Boston Symphony in 1924 he sought out music by American composers for performance, forging a quarter-century long alliance unmatched in our history.

The effective retirement of Carlo Maria Giulini has left the concert world without one of its most singular maestros. Equaled by few in Mozart and Verdi operas, his select concert repertoire is equally distinctive. Both works featured here receive dynamic and subtle studio recordings; the 1959 Pathétique, in particular, is an absolute classic. Maybe this live Edinburgh Festival account doesn't have the same control and symphonic integrity, but it's a gripping performance all the same. Giulini has a very Italianate ease with Tchaikovsky's melodic generosity, but never at the expense of the work's originality and tautness of structure. The third movement march is powerful and intense--no question of the audience applauding here--while the finale is passionate but never sentimental. Ravel's orchestration of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition was a Giulini favorite; clearly he reveled in its orchestral sophistication. The present account sacrifices studio poise for live excitement, to thrilling effect. You'll need to make allowances for the limited 1961 sound, but as the "Great Gate of Kiev" reaches its spine-tingling apotheosis, the sense of "being there" is palpable.

Mathias Bamert is a totally sympathetic conductor for this music. Stokowski made three recordings of Night on the Bare Mountain, not counting the one for Fantasia, but Bamert's is equal to any of them, with a beautifully idyllic slow ending. Bamert's treatment of Pictures is a dazzling recreation of brilliant orchestration, but the great gem in this collection is the Boris synthesis. Once again Bamert equals Stokowski's three recordings (1936, 1941, 1968). Obviously Stokowski had on-going ideas for this score; in his last recording (on Decca/London, with the Suisse Romande Orchestra), he added a snippet from the end of the death scene, plus a shimmeringly sustained string chord that ends with soft chimes—an ending he also used in a 1968 Boston Symphony Orchestra concert. Apparently this addition wasn't published, and thus is not used in the Bamert recording. Chandos' sound is their very best, wonderfully capturing this multitude of colorful sounds with a fine sense of space and presence. A fabulous CD!
