About Respighi: Sinfonia Drammatica
Amazon.com Respighi was a student of Rimsky-Korsakov (along with Stravinsky), and the parallels between the two are curious. Both composers demonstrated their mastery of the late Romantic orchestral vocabulary by turning to Baroque and Renaissance music and adopting a neo-classical aesthetic. Both composers also "graduated" by writing a huge Romantic symphony. But whereas Stravinsky's Symphony in E-flat takes Tchaikovsky and Borodin as its model, Respighi is more indebted to the German masters, particularly Strauss. The piece is scored for a vast orchestra with a large percussion section and organ, and it's simply a big, passionate, splashy chunk of late Romantic schlock. In short, it's great, and this performance takes no prisoners. --David Hurwitz Product description OTTORINO RESPIGHI (1879-1936) Sinfonia drammatica I Allegro energico - 24:59 II Andante sostenuto 17:10 III Allegro impetuoso - Tempo di marcia triste 18:09 l TT - 60:29 BBC PHILHARMONIC Andrew Orton, Leader SIR EDWARD DOWNES, Conductor
