Ottorino Respighi – The Pines of Rome
From the Vault: Relive Pacific Symphony’s inspirational rendition of Italian composer Respighi’s richly colored symphonic tone poem, Pines of Rome. Conjuring up vivid images of ancient Rome, the piece achieved success at a time when opera dominated the music scene. Each of the four movements depicts pine trees around the ancient city in changing settings, including mysterious catacombs, children playing in the Borghese Garden, an ancient Roman temple and a soldier marching home triumphantly on Via Appia.
Watch this streamed concert on Pacific Symphony’s YouTube or Facebook channels starting at 7pm (Pacific). This performance will remain available for on-demand viewing through June 18th.
