Could it be Maurice Ravel? Very famous French composer

dawnie1972

Pictures at an Exhibition is a famous piece of music for solo piano composed by Modest Mussorgsky in 1874. It is Mussorgsky’s best solo piano work. Many years after Mussorgsky’s death a French composer called Maurice Ravel made an arrangement of the piece for orchestra. This arrangement has become very famous and this is the form in which people usually hear the music today.

Looks like best bet to go with Ravel as previously suggested

What is this andrex comp that everyone is winning on?

dooby

The version by Maurice Ravel, also produced in 1922, represents a virtuoso effort by a master colourist. The orchestration, commissioned by Serge Koussevitzky, has proved the most popular in the concert hall and on record.

I Found this on wiki to back up Ravel.
