Born at the intersection of music, visual arts, and the world of cinema, this vibrant new album by producer Robert Townson brings together ten internationally renowned composers in world-premiere compositions. Pictures at an Exhibition: The Paintings of Bob Peak is modeled after the timeless concept of one of Mussorgsky’s greatest works and brought to life by the Los Angeles Film Orchestra, under the baton of conductor Leonard Slatkin. Each one of the ten new movements is inspired by a unique piece from the oeuvre of the American illustrator Bob Peak (1927-1992), known for his posters for films including West Side Story, Superman, Apocalypse Now, and the original Star Trek movies, but also a prolific artist of commissions for Time magazine, the Olympics, and countless others.
