_____________________

This collection presents the most comprehensive survey to date of Ottorino Respighi’s instrumental music, combining celebrated works such as The Pines of Rome with lesser-known orchestral, chamber, and piano compositions. Recorded between 2009 and 2015 by Italian performers, it offers an authoritative perspective on Respighi’s richly colored musical language. Beyond the Roman trilogy and Ancient Airs and Dances, the set highlights major but overlooked works, including Sinfonia drammatica, Metamorphoseon, and concertante pieces. Respighi’s chamber and piano music further reveal his lyrical and dramatic gifts, completing a vivid portrait of a composer deeply rooted in Italian heritage.
