Sao Paulo So:Neschling - Respighi: Roman Trilogy

Respighi's Roman Trilogy (the tone poems Pines of Rome, Fountains of Rome and Roman Festivals) holds a very special place in the orchestral repertory, challenging almost any other composition for sheer sonic audience appeal. Previous releases by this team include recordings of music by Villa-Lobos and his Brazilian colleagues Camargo Guarnieri, Francisco Mignone and Claudio Santoro, and individual discs have been described by a reviewer as 'an assured blend of lush colours, pulsating rhythms and supple phrasing' in International Record Review.
