Summary

Respighi occupies a strange place in musical history. He is almost never considered to be one of the "greats," though his mastery of orchestral color is never doubted by anyone. Today on this Patreon sponsored episode, we'll look at his Pines of Rome. We'll talk about Respighi's extremely detailed program notes, his Strauss like gifts at portraying real life in his music, and the fact that Respighi, for all his innate conservatism, was actually the first composer to use electronic music in one of his works.

I've brought back, I got a lot of great feedback about my episode with Jan Swafford.

0:58.6

So I've brought him back to do a really fantastic, I think, episode, which I probably will end up splitting into two

1:05.2

parts because we talked for almost two hours about how stories really brought

1:10.9

revolutionary music forward.

1:13.2

And it's sort of a chicken and the egg conversation
