Pictures at an Exhibition performed live by Emerson, Lake & Palmer was the album that brought me back to classical music at about age 15.
Written for the #piano, it was famously orchestrated by #Ravel. I've heard it performed once and have several versions on mp3. Perennial favorite! 👍
At the top level it is Mussorgsky's emotional journey as he walks around an exhibition of artwork by his recently deceased friend Viktor Hartmann. But there are captions for most/all of the works, so it is also a recursive tale with stories within stories. 🙂
Some of the original art is lost, so the musical renditions are all we have left. 🙁

This rollicking opening movement of the same Reissiger trio (No. 15 Op. 164 in G major) from which I posted the slow movement the other day, played by Trio Art Noveau: György Déri (cello), Orsolya Winkler (violin) and Ervin Nagy (piano), left a big grin on my face:
The somewhat march-like (but with a lovely inner theme) slow movement of Carl Gottlieb Reissiger's fifteenth piano trio (Op. 164 in G major) played here by Trio Art Nouveau: Orsolya Winkler (violin), Gyorgi Deri (cello) and Ervin Nagy (piano):

Fun fact: in my youth when I went to science fiction conventions (and sought out any pianos at the hotels while there), this was a piece I always carried with me to play with any other pianists in attendance (and did, several times), namely

Forgotten Melodies

https://classical.music.apple.com/us/album/1839201313?l=en-US
“Nostalgia for an imaginary world, untroubled by life’s mundane realities, provides the creative thread connecting the works in Alexander Malofeev’s superb debut album. “
The rip-roaring romp that is the last movement of Raff's Op. 195 piano concerto brings a smile to my lips every time; here played by Michael Ponti and the Hamburg Symphony conducted by Richard Kapp:
I have been enjoying the contemplative slow movement (on repeat) from Charles Villiers Standford's 2nd piano concerto, played here by Margaret Fingerhut with the Ulster Symphony conducted by Vernon Handley:
Why are Korg grand piano sounds +5ct at 440Hz (~441–441.5)? I know about spread, but wouldn’t you prefer 440Hz to be exact? C4 is +1ct, so maybe they just center the tuning along that.
But it’s nice to verify that a good default for spread is something like +5ct for C4 and +7–10ct for C5, with a larger increase for the very upper and lower octaves.
The (mostly) light-hearted final movement of Weber Flute and Piano Trio, played here by Gidon Cremer (violin), Vadim Sakharov (piano), Irena Grafenauer (flute) and Clemens Hagen (cello):
