Respighi's Roman Pines, Fountains and Festivals

Iv谩n Fischer conducts a tour of Rome through Respighi's three colourful tone poems 鈥� Pines, Fountains and Festivals of Rome 鈥� interspersed with Roman choral rarities by Liszt.

Iv谩n Fischer conducts a cinematic tour of Rome via Respighi's Technicolor tone poems evoking some of the Italian capital's most famous landmarks. The Roman holiday begins at the Villa Borghese and ends with a cinematic spectacular in the Piazza Navona as the teeming throng parties on the night before Epiphany. Interspersing Respighi's colourful tone poems are two solemn, Rome-inspired contemplative choral rarities by Liszt.

Recorded last month at the Auditorium, Parco della Musica, Rome, and introduced by Fiona Talkington.
