Pines of Rome (1924) PROGRAM NOTES & COMMENTARY Ah, Italy! The very name conjures forth images of Imperial Rome, the gently rolling hills of Tuscany, the amazing Mediterranean coast, and.opera. Italy is the land of the voice, where vocal music has always reigned supreme. Since the birth of opera in 1600, Italians have emphasized the vocal element in music.

Trittico Prospect

We search in vain for symphonic Italian composers from the time of Beethoven until.Respighi. As you will hear in the audio examples, here we have a figure of major importance in the history of Italian music. Respighi Video Links Offered here is a fine performance of the last movement of Feste Romane, with Massimo Zanetti conducting the NHK Symphony in Tokyo (2008). An elegant conductor! Fine playing, as well.

Just when you think you have seen and heard everything, something like this comes up: a version of Feste Romane for band (with cellos and basses!). Wow, that is a LOT of clarinets!

I think it actually works pretty well for band.Comments? Do you like the saxophones?

I maintain that Pines of Rome is the loudest piece of music ever composed, and here we have a rousing rendition of the final movement, performed by Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic (in Osaka!). I have friends who play in the Berlin Philharmonic, and they always tell me that it was impossible to follow von Karajan’s beat: the orchestra followed the Concertmaster! He conducted the essence of the music Wow! This is a MUST-SEE!

You will recall from the audio commentary that Arturo Toscanini was the conductor who helped establish the international success and fame of Ottorino Respighi. Here is rare footage of the century’s greatest conductor (by many accounts) performing the last movement of Pines of Rome. Please compare with the von Karajan rendition!

Amazing difference in tempos! Toscanini was the tyrant of the orchestra, who was known to physically assault players on occasion, and who openly defied Mussolini and refused to conduct in Nazi Germany. His famous comment was “If I was capable of killing a man, I would kill Mussolini.” He was 85 when this footage was filmed. An example of a rarely-heard work by Respighi, the Adagio con variazione, performed by Misha Maisky. Does this sound like the composer of Pines of Rome and Feste Romane? Respighi had a very eclectic style and was easily able to compose music of archaic and Neo-Classic style.

Respighi’s The Birds ( Gli uccelli ) has always been one of my favorite works of the composer. Here is the opening movement in a ballet performance. Much of the later music of Respighi is based on themes from earlier musical periods, such as the Renaissance and Baroque eras. For those art-lovers out there I offer here an interesting example of music and art together: Respighi’s Ancient Airs and Dances with paintings of the great Italian Baroque artist Caravaggio as a backdrop.

It is always good to have a multi-disciplinary approach to the arts! WARNING: there are some disturbing paintings here!

Respighi’s ballet La boutique fantasque ( The Magic Toy Shop ) is seen here in a staged production. The original music was by Rossini, and was wonderfully arranged and orchestrated by Respighi in 1919. We end with a brilliant performance of the first movement of The Pines of Rome, with the Osaka Philharmonic Orchestra.
