A colorful orchestral feast by Istvan Kertesz and the London Symphony Orchestra.
This collection of Respighi's works, centered around "Pines of Rome," is brought out to its fullest by Kertesz's clear interpretation and the rich sound of the London Symphony Orchestra. Flutist William Bennett's delicate solos also shine in various places, highlighting the orchestra's overall expressiveness. Recorded in 1973, the sound quality is excellent, vividly capturing the texture and spatiality of each instrument. This is a masterpiece that allows you to fully appreciate the painterly beauty of Respighi's music.
