About

Ottorino Respighi was in the vanguard of the 20th-century rebirth of Italian symphonic music. Famed for his Roman Trilogy, Respighi was also prominent in the synthesis of pre-Classical melodic styles and late-Romantic harmonies and textures. These are the elements that make the Ancient Airs and Dances so captivating and expressive, as Respighi draws on dances by 16th-century composers to brilliant effect. The Concerto all’antica is an early, beautifully poetic work that again draws on ancient styles, in a recording that uses the first printed critical edition of the work by Salvatore Di Vittorio, published in 2019.

Reviews

“… it’s great to see that Respighi is getting the championship that he deserves from Salvatore di VIttorio and the Chamber Orchestra of New York, and I look forward to future releases in this vein.”

Andrew Desiderio – Fanfare – September/October 2021

**** Excellent Album

Laure Dautriche – Classica magazine (France) – September 2021

“… Respighi fans will have to get it for the sake of the otherwise unavailable Concerto all’antica, but others should also find the performances of the three suites of Ancient Airs and Dances most enjoyable. And all of us should be grateful to Naxos for their continued interest in the exploration of the output of an always fascinating composer.”

Paul Corfield Godfrey – MusicWeb-International.com – 19 May 2021

“The selling point here is the Concerto All’Antica, which many listeners will be unfamiliar with – it is given the best possible advocacy here, as is the more familiar Ancient Airs and Dances…”
