Molto grazie Italia! You guys were our top 5 viewers. For this reason, here you have an unknown work by Ottorino Respighi, his Suite in E major. Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by/ Orquesta Sinfónica de la Radio Eslovaca dirigida por Adriano. I. Adagio – Allegro vivo (0:00) II. Adagio (9:01) III. Allegretto vivace (17: 04) IV. Allegro energico – Marziale e sostenuto (22:14) Respighi’s Suite in E major was the composer’s first attempt to write a symphony. Conceived between 1901 and 1907, the work is redolent of his five-month studies with Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in St. Petersburg, because its language is similar to that of Tchaikovsky, Dvorak and Korsakov himself. Nonetheless, he uses a large, late romantic orchestra, and distinctively Italian flavors from Respighi’s early operas. La Suite en Mi mayor de Respighi fue el primer intento de este compositor en crear una sinfonía. Concebida entre 1901 y 1907, la obra tiene reminiscencias de sus cinco meses de estudio con Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov , ya que su lenguaje es similar al de Tchaikovsky, Dvorak y el mismísimo Korsakov. No obstante, usa una gran orquesta de la era romántica tardía y existen en la obra sabores italianos; propios de las óperas tempranas de Respighi.
