Wow, why isn't this piece widely known? Starts out with a gripping Baroque melody and ends with a transcendentally sublime Cantico. A powerful piece.

Just came across this one and what a pleasant surprise! The sound engineering on the recording is amazing, really spacious as if listening inside a hyper-cathedral, if there is such a thing! The "Preludio" blew my socks off while the "Pastorale" took me to the Elysian Fields! The "Cantico" sounds almost like a dry run for part of "Church Windows" and is startlingly beautiful....Oh, and the "Aria" is rather lovely too.....

I thought at first this was a Baroque composer’s work arranged by Respighi for Organ and Strings. Little did I know it was entirely his own! What a range he had!

Loved this piece, ever since I first heard it on the radio. Respighi is one composer that seems to be able to write in several different styles, sometimes at once. Will be making a scoreview video out of this one, too.

I love the Preludio soooo much, I listen to it almost every day. It sometimes drives me insane. I don't even know why... This version has a different tempo compared to the others on youtube, I like this slower approach.

Does any know which organ Dr. Robert Boughen played in this performance?

[@lukasmiller486]

What’s the name of the picture?

[@schatzi2010able]

The CD image is a cropped part of Sydney Long’s (1871-1955) painting Spirit of the Plains, 1897. A Google search will give you access to SL's paintings on the internet
