Respighi: Pines of Rome - Slobodeniouk - Sinfónica de Galicia - OJSG

[@javiermarting]

Aquí habría que dar muchos premios. El primero al ingeniero de sonido, ¡qué barbaridad de toma! El segundo a Slobodeniuk, tremenda lectura de una partitura ya de por sí vistosa. El tercero a la orquesta, sólida, virtousa, felixible... me quedo sin adjetivos. Y el último al público, entregado al final... aunque sorprende ver asientos vacíos en todos los conciertos de la OSG. Gallegos, ¿qué esperan para ir a ver y escuchar a una de las mejores orquestas de España?

I came to know this orchestra through hearing about principal trumpet player John Aigi Hurn. This orchestra has an energy that many of the great orchestras of the world lack. The recording sound quality is second to none. I am absolutely amazed by the richness of sound that this orchestra can produce. Aigi is one of the finest principal trumpeters I have ever heard and it is heartbreaking to know he is no longer with us....thank you for leaving us with such fine recordings of his amazing talent.

[@jdeeside5021]

I have been a lover of classical music all of my life and cannot fathom how, until now, I have missed this incredible piece of music! It's stunning and the last three minutes are so emotionally charged it brings me to joyous tears. This is a fantastic orchestra. Europe is so lucky to have such wonderful bands.

[@GregBreden]

Many of us came to know it from Disney's Fantasia 2000 in an abridged version by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra 20 years ago that includes the full Apian Way climax. I've listed to so many versions trying to get the very best one. I have to say that the final section in Disney's version is the tightest and best recorded version I've heard, possibly helped by being in 5.1 sound but because the work as a whole was cut down I wanted a fuller version and have listed to SO many. I've heard some versions where the ending is plodding and others where it's a mess. The version on this video is really damn good, one of the very best, with great clarity and control. Superb.

[@wavoconqueso]

Me too. Every time after all this time. I bought the trilogy album around high school in the 60s and it's still growing on me.

[@capefox8321]

I especially love the final part - can you imagine the approach of a Roman army coming over the hill, getting closer... and closer... can you smell the dust from the horses' hooves as they proudly march past? It's awesome!

[@fthornberry3032]

@@capefox8321 I have walked the Apian Way with Julius Cesar's Gallic Wars. He walked with the Praetorian Guard during his victorious entrance until reaching the Forum. Amazing, indeed.

[@musicalaviator]

Make sure you listen to the other 3 in the trilogy too. Fountains and Festivals. Both this and Festivals are a great boon to the gigging Trumpet player as they expand the trumpet section from the usual 4 up to 7 or 8.

Easy to visualize in your mind the marching of Legions, upon returning to Rome after battle, marching on one of the world's oldest roads, the Appian Way. Distant at first, slowing approaching and reaching the center of the Roman Empire, Rome in all it's ancient glory. Having played an excellent transcription of this in college at various venues, I still get a thrill upon hearing it yet once again.

[@IvarsBezdechi]

Absolutely stunningly breathtaking performance of this incredible example of orchestration. Slobodeniouk's passion is channeling Ottorino Respighi.... I had tears flowing watching and listening to this masterpiece of orchestration...

[@vhar5658]

Magnífico Respighi, eximio Slobodeniouk, impresionante la Sinfónica de Galicia. Y también hay que aplaudir a el editor del video y sonidista. Sin duda una de las mejores versiones en video de esta obra, realmente grandiosos todos.

[@jriquelmem]

Observando asombrado la increíble dirección, el dominio de la orquesta y conocimiento de la pieza del maestro Slobodeniuk, no puedo dejar de pensar en el dicho "el que sabe sabe... y el que no... aplaude"... aplausos emocionados para el maestro y toda esa magnífica orquesta!

I must admit: I'm a huge fan of the Berlin Philharmonic... But I started to enjoy your concert videos. They are truly excellent!! Bravi! Maestro Slobodeniouk and the orchestra make a very special match. Congratulations on that frutile collaboration. I hope he is gonna stay some more years. Many greetings from Germany!

[@msotil]

Ottorino Respighi was a friend of Sergei Rachmaninoff. Respighi lived in Saint Petersburg, Russia, for three years where he was first viola in the orchestra of the Russian Imperial Theater in Saint Petersburg. When Respighi told Rachmaninoff that he would like to orchestrate some of Rachmaninoff's Etudes-Tableaux, the composer not only approved of the idea, but provided Respighi with tematic material. Ottorino Respighi was a master of orchestration.

[@dbryant4]

When I first performed this piece as a young horn player (about 50 years ago) what I remember was how demanding it was for the wind players. It is hard work! Respighi wrote long melodic lines which required great breath control and power, a difficult combination. But a disciplined orchestra willing to do the hard work Respighi demands will always get a great ovation. Emotional piece.
