Respighi - Pines of Rome Karajan Berlin Philharmonic

[@climbtheladder9440]

The first time I heard this was when I watched Fantasia 2000 in an Imax theater as a child. I vividly remember the whales and my awed state. In highschool I performed Pines of Rome in the MN All-State orchestra as a hornist and I'll never forget the overwhelm of awe returned the first time we ran through it as a group. The beginning of the final movement forming all around me was so powerful that I couldn't even play for a moment --a teacher sitting with us pointed out the measure we were on, thinking me lost when he saw me not playing, but when he saw the look in my eye he let me alone cuz he could tell what I was going through 😆

[@josephevans1265]

Great story!

[@ИгорьДымченко-к9л]

Absolutely Outstanding piece of 20 th century.

[@marcsmith7789]

A technicolor orchestra. That third movement and that clarinet solo.... One of my favorite passages of any piece. Beautiful performance of this masterpiece!

Incredible strength for the victoriuos legion to Rome.

My god man, what a wonderful rediscovery. Still one of the biggest musical pieces I’ve heard ..and the Festivals of Rome!

[@tyounnaclark4333]

I’m in high school band and we played part 4 for our spring concert and it was my favorite out of all the songs we played. I wish we would have played the other parts as well.

[@fabricelacroix749]

Quelle merveilleuse musique. C'est d'une beauté et d'une plénitude divine!

Que maravilloso regalo de Dios a la humanidad es el poder creador que emana de los músicos, directores y por supuesto, los compositores que han materializado estos sonidos celestiales

[@reginaldkarpinski]

Il merito va ad Ottorino Respighi e solo a lui. Continuare, per ogni cosa, a ringraziare un Dio che, nelle forme espresse dalla religione, dovrebbe essere chiaro che non esiste, lo trovo volgare ed ingiusto.

Spectacular!...von Karajan and his Berliners wrap themselves in glory...

[@ryckoffr]

Magnificent! By 2 Masters: Respighi and Herbert von Karajan.

[@65billh]

Clarinet beautiful solo, pp to infinity...

[@thomasthompson6378]

That brief piano solo at about 10:00 astonishes us with its rightness, somehow. This music is profoundly enticing; it leads us to an understanding of the value of great forests. I don't mean that in an political sense -- only in an aesthetic sense. Respighi wanted us to feel that sense of things. And he fully succeeds here.

[@shimmereyes8984]

I would pay to see a column of shiny armoured legionaries marching through the appian way as the ground thunders under the the unending steps of proudful romans as one great and majestic mass triumphantly parading under the watch of all the citizens. Then the buccinae start roar with fearsome bright tune and the Legatus presents himself wearing the ceramonial raiment and salutes the plebes on a golden chariot with the banners of the roman signifers and the veterans at the head of the centuries. That is the epic feeling this piece evokes.

[@monopod1]

Evokes.... to you maybe.

[@hughcapetien]

I suppose I can't knock this piece - bought - the album - in 1979 at the record store. Karajan did a fine job with this classic!

@Richard Williams No in the score it is supposed to be Buccinas but in this recording, they are using trumpets and horns to replace them. Horn 5 and 6 are the ones that are playing those extremely loud notes.

[@barney6888]

My understanding is that Karajan wanted that so as to simulate those long horns with the banners welcoming the troops. I can't hear any other way now.

Yes, from it's premier in 1925. Respighi had a gramaphone recording made of, specifically, a nightingale singing in the Janiculum park described in that third movement in the pre-dawn hours, and it was played in the symphony hall during it's debut.
