Given a bit more space and time to describe this unique intersection of Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition with a video presentation based on a staging of the work created by Vassily Kandinsky in 1928, I might have dug a bit more deeply into the way that Kandinsky, using abstract images typical of his style, still managed to evoke figurative depictions of Russian architecture and costumes in a way that neatly suited what Mussorgsky meant to conjure with his music. Ah, deadlines.
