It should also be mentioned, since it appears you might not know, that the original version of "Pictures at an Exhibition" by Modest Mussorgsky is a solo piano piece.

It was orchestrated since by several composers; however, the most famous version is by Ravel.

The best versions of the original piano version, which you can find on record:

Mikhail Pletnev - Virgin/EMI 59611
Sviatoslav Teofilovich Richter - The Sofia Recital 1958 (Polygram 464734)
Vladimir Horowitz - RCA mono 60321
