About this product
The most comprehensive set ever compiled of instrumental music by Respighi, featuring classic scores such as The Pines of Rome alongside hidden treasures of chamber music. All modern recordings made by native Italian musicians between 2009 and 2015 both an ideal starting and destination point for anyone looking to explore the vibrantly coloured musical world of Respighi. Italy's landscape and history supplied Ottorino Respighi with a deep and seemingly inexhaustible well of inspiration and material on which to draw. Works as superficially diverse as the elegantly neoclassical Ancient Airs and Dances, and the opulently orchestrated extravaganza of the Roman trilogy, are united by Respighi's care for his native heritage, and his curation of it as a living object. He is, in this sense, no less centrally an Italian composer than those of his colleagues dedicated to continuing the opera tradition, from Bellini to Puccini. Yet there is so much more to Respighi than those two collections. There is the hour-long Sinfonia Drammatica which finds Respighi at his most Straussian. There is the pulsating and neoclassical Toccata for piano and orchestra, the contrasting delicacy of the orchestral triptych after paintings of Botticelli, the withdrawn beauty of his Church Windows sequence, and a sequence of concertante works for violin and orchestra, none of which fit neatly into the 'romantic concerto' template. Perhaps the least known and most intriguing work in his orchestral output is his dark and brooding Metamorphoseon, commissioned by Serge Koussevitzky in 1930 and thus long predating Richard Strauss's postwar elegy of (almost) the same name. The piano and chamber works of Respighi illuminate complementary aspects of his identity, such as his feeling for long-breathed melody and drama in the violin sonatas, and the deft turns of phrase in his student-era piano pieces.

Ottorino Respighi (Italian [otto'ri?no res'pi?gi]; 9 July 1879 - 18 April 1936) was an Italian composer and musicologist. He is best known for his orchestral music, particularly the three Roman tone poems Fountains of Rome (Fontane di Roma), Pines of Rome (I pini di Roma), and Roman Festivals (Feste romane). His musicological interest in 16th-, 17th- and 18th-century music led him to compose pieces based on the music of these periods. He also wrote a number of operas, the most famous of which is La fiamma. Album Tracks 1. I. Feste Romane, P. 157 Circenses 5 09 2. II. Il Giubileo 8 22 3. III. L'ottobrata 7 37 4. LV.

Born and raised in the deep outskirts of Mexico City, the Gama brothers are keeping alive the rich legacy of marimba music running through their family with their latest project, Son Rompe Pera. While firmly rooted in the tradition of this historic instrument, their fresh take on the folk icon challenges it's limits as never before, moving it into the garage/punk world of urban misfits and firmly planting it in the 21st century. Originally performing alongside their father at local events as kids, they now find themselves at the forefront of the contemporary international cumbia scene with their sonic explorations of the classic marimba. Their absolutely unique blend comes from a typical youthful rebellion, when as teenagers they left behind their upbringing and began to play in various punk, rockabilly and ska bands. Now they've gone full circle with the return of the marimba on lead, and mixing all of their influences together with an energetic take on the popular instrument, this band of punk brothers from the outskirts of Mexico City will make you dance with their unique style of garage-marimba-punk-cumbia, played on the historic marimba like no one has ever seen before.
