Description
[Machine Translation] The Birds" by G. F. Respighi (1879-1936) is a suite of orchestration and prelude to a 17th-century clavecin of birds. Respighi was, after all, an avid student of 17th century music and took great pleasure in revising the music of that period, and "The Birds" is undoubtedly a byproduct of his efforts. Of course, the orchestral sound is in the most vivid colors, but the music itself remains as it was in the Baroque period. This strange texture is interesting in its own right. In contrast, "Botticelli's Triptych" is full of his characteristic melodies and rich trills at the beginning, and is highly original music. The "Suite in G major" is a work in the classical style, but it is usually heard in a shortened version, and the recording here is the "original version" compiled by conductor Vittorio himself. The melody, which is said to have been inspired by Frescobaldi's Madrigals, is sung magnificently by strings and organ in this moving music.
