Francesco La VecchiaAbout
Brilliant Classics’ survey of Respighi’s complete orchestral music continues here, with a release that explores the Italian composer’s modernising of the past (as previously evidenced in works such as Gli uccelli, see volume 1) as well as two of his most mature creations, written in the last eleven years of his life.
Starting with the Antiche danze e arie per liuto, three suites in which Respighi balances antiquated forms against modern instrumentation such as the celesta, we move on to Rossiniana, a charming suite derived from Rossini’s piano piece 'Les riens' and with a particularly affecting second movement (Lamento).
Next follows the Concerto in modo misolidio of 1925, a work for piano and orchestra whose main theme is based on Gregorian chant and with a vigorous Passacaglia of a finale. Completing the compilation is the affective Metamorphoseon modi XII, also pervaded by freely plainsong‐like themes.
As ever, Respighi’s imaginative use of timbre and first‐class orchestration permeate these engaging works, which are skilfully interpreted by an all‐Italian cast. About the first volume in the series, allmusic.com wrote: ‘The Orchestra Sinfonica di Roma under Francesco La Vecchia certainly plays very well, with the brass fully on top of the numerous passages in which they are mercilessly exposed.’
