Antiche Danze ed Arie Suite No. 1 by Ottorino Respighi Chamber Orchestra - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: S9.Q24855

Traditional foundations in new tonal splendour - the leading representative of new Italian instrumental music, Ottorino Respighi, transcribed the original lute versions for large orchestra in a masterly fashion. Thanks to his compositional analysis of tradition, Respighi made a substantial contribution to the revival and rediscovery of forgotten musical treasures. The three orchestral suites based on lute settings from the Italian Renaissance and Italian Early Baroque period, however, have not only been influenced by the historicism of later revivals of original texts. Respighi makes the intimate original pieces also shine in repackaged versions for large orchestra, thus achieving wonderful, brilliant sound effects!

Dans ces trois suites orchestrales, composées d'après des oeuvres pour luth de la Renaissance et du Baroque italiens, Respighi fait resplendir ses modèles intimistes dans une transposition pour grand orchestre, obtenant ainsi de somptueux et brillants effets sonores.
