I know that the original version is widely praised - and i've heard it played by many a great pianist over the years - but I still cannot help finding it to be dull and clumsy piano writing, even though the music itself is so marvellously evocative. Of the many so many versions of it that I've heard, nothing quite comes up to the one that Elgar Howarth wrote for the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble.
I like Pictures in most of its forms - but I agree about how good the PJBE is - then I also like the Tomita version.
