Pines Of Rome - The Janiculum (3/4)

Pines of Rome (In Italian: Pini di Roma) is a symphonic poem written in 1924 by the Italian composer Ottorino Respighi and, together with Fontane di Roma and Feste Romane, forms what is sometimes loosely referred to as his "Roman trilogy". Each movement depicts the pine trees in different locations in Rome at different times of day.

The first performance was given under conductor Bernardino Molinari in the Augusteo, Rome, on December 14, 1924.

Sections:

1.) "I pini di Villa Borghese" (The Pines of the Villa Borghese)
2.) "Pini presso una catacomba" (Pines near a catacomb)
3.) "I pini del Gianicolo" (The Pines of the Janiculum)
4.) "I pini della Via Appia" (The Pines of the Appian Way)

These are the best recordings of Pines of Rome I could find. I recently noticed that these videos were taken down a while ago which is a shame. That is why I am re-uploading them. I am still trying to find the second movement, but I can't at the moment so be patient.

In case anyone is wondering, this piece is being performed by the Radio Sinfonie Orchester Stuttgart SWR, conducted by Georges Prêtre.

Mr Wenches of Redempion??? Where's the second part?

[WenchesOfRedemption]

@caldagia Unfortunately, I never had it downloaded in my computer before the user shut-down their videos of this performance. I might be lucky and stumble across it on someone else's channel or something, but at the moment I do not have it.

[roboninjazz]

Thanks for the reply!

[WenchesOfRedemption]

@roboninjazz No problem. Try several mouthpieces out because crystal isn't for everyone. Once you decide, get yourself a nice leather ligature, a pack of Vandoren reeds, a Buffet R13, and you have yourself a fine clarinet!

[roboninjazz]

What type of mouthpeice is that?

[WenchesOfRedemption]

@roboninjazz

That would be a Pomarico crystal mouthpiece. They are among the best out there, and really unique as well.

@dzidziaud Thanks ;-) Night time, day time. It is simply beautiful.

At 6:03, listen carefully for the tweeting sound of the nightingale.

I'm in love with the Concertmaster <3

@LJbones3 it's actually supposed to be night time! Respighi meant this piece to depict a temple in Rome at night; interestingly enough, he chose to integrate an actual recording of a nightingale into the orchestral work to further depict the night scene.

This is so dreamy sounding to me <3. Relaxing with the sun shinning, birds chirping, lovely. Just my opinion though :-) The orchestra really nailed the emotions of this music <3

Why is part 2 missing, can;t find it anywhere.
