Respighi,O. ~ Pines/Fountains/Roman Fest

These are the extraordinary tone poems for which Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936) is known. Whatever else he has written, it all pales against these guys. Respighi's music embraced a kind of neo- romanticism that has hints of French Impressionism. He creates pictures as well as moods. Hard to do. This particular recording by Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra is a rerelease of two practically ancient vinyl discs of the early sixties. No one beats the Philadelpia Orchestra for sound, especially in the
Pines of Rome or the glittering cascades of the
Roman Festivals. At mid-price, this disc is virtually a steal.
