Komponist: RESPIGHI, Ottorino ((1879-1936))
RESPIGHI, Ottorino Seine Musik:
This man wrote some of the most beautiful and moving classical music. The best piece is entitled "The Pines of Rome". It is a musical tale of the soldiers climbing the Appian way in battle and victory. You can hear the percussion as they march and a victorious crescendo att the end.

Sein Leben:
[From the Encyclopedia Brittanica.]
Italian composer who introduced Russian orchestral colour and some of the violence of Richard Strauss's harmonic techniques into Italian music. He studied at the Liceo of Bologna and later with Rimsky-Korsakov in St. Petersburg, where he was first violist in the Opera Orchestra. From his foreign masters Respighi acquired a command of orchestral colour and an interest in orchestral composition.
A piano concerto by Respighi was performed at Bologna in 1902; a "notturno" for orchestra was played at a concert in the Metropolitan Opera House that year. His comic opera Re Enzo and the opera Semirama brought him recognition and an appointment in 1913 to the Sta. Cecilia Academy in Rome as professor of composition. He became director of the conservatory in 1924 but resigned in 1926.
Respighi was drawn to the sensual, decadent climate of the Rome depicted by the poet D'Annunzio, and in his celebrated suites - Pines of Rome and Fountains of Rome especially - he sought to convey the subtlety and colour of the poet's imagination. Other suites include Vetrate di chiesa (Church Windows, 1927); Gli ucelli (The Birds, 1927); Feste Romane (Roman Festival, 1929); and Trittico Botticelliano (Botticelli Triptych, 1927, for chamber orchestra).
Respighi was also drawn to old Italian music, which he arranged in two sets of Antique Dances and Arias (transcribed for orchestra from lute pieces). One of his most popular scores was his arrangement of pieces by Rossini, La Boutique fantasque, produced by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in London (1919). A later arrangement of Rossini piano pieces, Rossiniana (1925), also became a ballet.
As a composer of opera, Respighi had less success outside his own country. His best known works for the theatre were Belfagor, a comic opera produced at Milan in 1923, and La fiamma (Rome, 1934), which effectively transfers the gloomy Norwegian tragedy of H. Wiers Jenssen (known to English-speaking audiences in John Masefield's version as The Witch) to Byzantine Ravenna. In a different, more subdued vein are the "mystery," Maria Egiziaca (1932), and his posthumous Lucrezia (completed by his wife, Elsa, 1937), the latter showing Respighi's interest in the dramatic recitative of Claudio Monteverdi, of whose Orfeo he made a free transcription for La Scala, Milan, in 1935.
Respighi's wife and pupil, Elsa Olivieri-Sangiacomo Respighi (1894-?), was a singer and a composer of operas, choral and symphonic works, and songs.


[in Dutch]
Ottorino Respighi was een van belangrijkste Italiaans componisten van zijn generatie. Zijn grootste roem ontleent hij, net als zijn leermeester Guiseppe Martucci, aan zijn symfonische werken en orkestrale bewerkingen. Hij was het die de Russische orkestkleuren en de gedurfde harmonische technieken van Richard Strauss in de Italiaanse muziek introduceerde. Als operacomponist is Respighi buiten zijn landsgrenzen minder bekend.
Een vroege en sterk vormende invloed was Rimsky-Korsakov, bij wie hij in de leer was toen hij als altviolist aan het orkest van de Russische Keizerlijke Opera in St.-Petersburg verbonden was. Wat men ook van de kwaliteiten van zijn originele composities mag denken, hij was zonder twijfel een van de grootmeesters in de kunst van de orkestratie. In tegenstelling tot zijn tijdgenoten en mede-orkest-grootheden Arnold Schönberg en Béla Bartók was Respighi behoudend, met een idioom dat zich zelden ver de 20e eeuw in waagde. Zijn stijl is er een van onmiddellijk aansprekende melodieën, geplaatst tegen een achtergrond van rijke, doorschijnende harmonieën van een constante verfijning en afwerking. Respighi was een begenadigd instrumentalist, en genoot zowel als pianist als als violist aanzienlijke faam. Hij groeide uit tot een bedreven en overtuigend dirigent, veelal van zijn eigen werken.

Firma Melodiya presents a boxed set dedicated to the 75th anniversary of one of the outstanding contemporary Russian conductors, Dmitri Kitayenko.

“Today he can be undoubtedly considered one of the five or six best conductors of the world. This phenomenon is out of the ordinary”, Herbert von Karajan wrote about Kitayenko after the young Soviet conductor gave a brilliant performance at the international competition in Vienna, receiving the second prize and winning the hearts of the Viennese audience and media. Evgeny Svetlanov also greeted his younger colleague on the pages of the Soviet press as a talented and promising conductor.

A graduate of the Leningrad Conservatory who also completed a postgraduate course at the Moscow Conservatory and a training course at the Vienna Academy of Music, Dmitri Kitayenko had a brilliant start to his conducting career. From 1976 to 1990 he headed the Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Moscow Philharmonic Society. Under his leadership the celebrated orchestra substantially expanded its repertoire and actively toured.

During recent decades, the conductor worked with the orchestras of Western Europe, Japan, South Korea and the United States and regularly recorded.

This 6 CD set includes recordings made by Dmitri Kitayenko in the studio and in the concert hall between 1975 and 1987 with the orchestra of the Moscow Philharmonic Society and the USSR State Academic Symphony Orchestra. The repertoire included showcases the conductor’s stylistic diversity and highest mastery.

These recordings will be of interest to those who remembers Kitayenko’s performances of the past years and to a new generation of listeners as well.

Tamsin Waley-Cohen (violin) - Huw Watkins (piano)


Rising-star violinist Tamsin Waley-Cohen is joined by the eminent pianist-composer Huw Watkins in a diverse programme of works that were all influenced in different ways by the era in which they were composed. The works were conceived at four very different points in the composer’s lives - Debussy, at the end of his life, Respighi in the first flush of fame, Elgar, although not old, enjoying his last creative period, and Sibelius in his prime composing prolifically.
These four contrasting works were all composed as the Great War drew to a close, but none of them specifically attempts to conjure up images of the conflict, nor act as any kind of programmatic memorial to its victims. Rather, these works are all conceived as absolute music, albeit, in the case of the Elgar and Debussy sonatas, imbued with a melancholy regret that may have been a reflection of those tragic four years.
