Roman Festivals / Fountains of Rome / Pines of Rome

Album by Ottorino Respighi & Philharmonia Orchestra & Massimo Freccia & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Rudolf Kempe

This compilation collects three orchestral tone poems by Italian composer Ottorino Respighi, composed between 1916 and 1928. The works exemplify Respighi's mature orchestral style, combining lush late-Romantic harmony, vivid orchestral colour and Impressionistic touches to evoke scenes of Rome, and they represent key examples of his contribution to early 20th-century orchestral repertoire.
First released: 1988
