Info
Rome – city of the Caesars and gladiators, heart of Christendom, home of public spectacle. A city of glittering fountains, mysterious catacombs and grand parks shaded by pines. With his trilogy Fontane di Roma, Feste romane and Pini di Roma, Ottorino Respighi created a musical homage to the Eternal City – from antiquity to his own era. The three works trace its history, its landscape and its myth. Under the baton of Kirill Petrenko, Respighi’s vivid sound worlds unfold – a musical journey through one of the world’s most storied cities.

Background
Italy’s great orchestrator
A portrait of Ottorino Respighi
A quiet observer, he listened to the world around him with a painterly sense of sound. Ottorino Respighi loved transforming everyday scenes into music – children playing in a park, the splashing of a fountain and the songs of birds. His musical tableaus would influence some of the greatest film composers, such as John Williams and Hans Zimmer. His Rome Trilogy remains one of the most successful orchestral cycles of the early twentieth century. A portrait.
