One of Respighi's masterpieces, Gli uccelli (The Birds) includes
transcriptions of birdsong and music of the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries in writing of evocative, captivating lyricism.
Trittico botticelliano, an illustration of three paintings by
Botticelli, employs dance rhythms, modal melodies and a variant of
the medieval hymn Veni, Veni Emmanuel in deft, often sublime
fashion. The Suite in G major, cast for strings and organ in the
form of a concerto grosso, is heard on this premi re recording in
its original edition.
Palermo-born Salvatore Di Vittorio has achieved international
recognition as both a composer and conductor. He has gained
considerable attention with his orchestration and completion of
Respighi's rediscovered First Violin Concerto (Naxos 8.573168)
commissioned by Respighi's great nieces and archive curator.
