    It's not too surprising that people are hearing Borodin, Gliere, Tschaikovsky, Grechaninov, etc. since it is a
    "Ballet on Russian Melodies". In it, Respighi pays tribute to a group of lesser-known Russian composers. The opening prelude is "in the style of Grechaninov". The third movement, "Entry of the Tsar with Bridegrooms" is in the style of Arensky. Movement 4, "Scene of the Tsarevich" is modelled after Palchuski. The 5th movement, "Dance of the Tartar Archers", is in the style of Rubenstein, while the Finale is in the style of Rabikaff. The other movements are by Respighi but based on Russian folk tunes.

    Respighi es un grande. Insisto en que la "posteridad" no siempre da lo que algunos se merecen. Incluso a veces da a quien no se merece. No es este el caso, como queda patente en lo que respecta a este genial compositor-artista recordado casi exclusivamente por sus "Pinos o sus Fuentes de Roma" y no mucho más, y que merece más atención de la que viene gozando. A ver si esas grandes orquestas se animan a sacar a la luz las composiciones --y los nombres de sus autores-- de tantos que aún permanecen en un, por lo general ( y que Oscar me perdone) injusto olvido; o como en el presente otras de sus obras a penas conocidas e incluso desconocidas. Que así sea.

    In 1900, Respighi, continuing his studies, accepted the role of principal violist in the orchestra of the Russian Imperial Theatre in Saint Petersburg during its opera season. During this time he met Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, a composer Respighi greatly admired, who gave him valuable and influential lessons in orchestration and composition over 5 mos. More tutoring with Rimsky-Korsakov occurred when Respighi returned n the winter of 1902 for another series of Imperial Theater performances. This suite Respighi arranged in 1920, & is a direct result of his experiences in St. Petersburg, & his training as a musicologist, orchestrating several Russian master piano miniatures. He chose the title, "The Magic Pot" as a descriptive "catch-all" for the conception of a small ballet production. We have to admire Respighi reaching back to older forms & works to "modernize" them with his flair for tasteful & skilled orchestral colors. In this way, her also brought lesser-known music to wider audiences. His range of works - from these "miniatures" to "Ancient Airs & Dances" to massive orchestral forces required for his "Roman Trilogy" reveal his musicological, compositional & orchestral skills.

    There are many of us who are so well versed in the 20th century playlist. We move beyond the "Canon" in midlife. We collect many other genres of the so-called "classical" library. We have built upon the genius class of 18th/19th century works, and move out to experiment and experience the ever-branching bodies of musical creation. I co-host a Music Appreciation Group in Southern California. Several of us inherited it from a group that started in 1954! There is a wealth of delight out there in the world of music...all genres, all schools, all categories. If it gives YOU a "Frisson" all over your body when you hear it, it is WORTHY! Keep it alive!

      Respighi was not only a composer but also a pianist, violinist, orchestra conductor, professor of composition at the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome and the greatest Italian musicologist who rediscovered our Renaissance music and studied Gregorian chants, a sacred music whose origins date back to 500 AD
      He composed suites based on music by Italian and French composers of 1600-1700 thus contributing to the knowledge of then forgotten music. He was also a transcriber in orchestral form of Bach organ sonatas.

    Ottorino Respighi is one of the most underrated composers of the 20th century and yet, tonally his music rates "up there" with all the British greats of the same time period. I suspect there is a little sub conscious racism and dismissal of him as being "just another Italian with Italian music". Well, imho, his music stands tall and proud and is the equal of anything the venerable John Williams could write today.

And even Vaughan Williams, not sure he is considered " up there". Holst? And really are there persons around thinking anything such as "just another Italian with Italian music"? That is really blatant ignorance of the history of music and of history in general (and maybe you are right also racism). I hope you have been able to dismiss them as the ignorant people they are.

    • @alger3041
      @alger3041 10 років тому

      ***** I certainly cannot argue that Respighi was more attuned to the St. Petersburg Conservatoire rather than the Moscow. Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov were essentially foreign to his nature, as to an extent was Glazunov and following this latter, Shostakovich. I think we are in agreement there. Stravinsky of Feu d' Artifice and Scherzo Fantasque as well as the original first act of Le Rossignol would appeal to Respighi as well, along with parts of
      Oiseau d'Feu. Here too we have no difference.
      Between Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov (as indeed with all of the Nationalists) it was the whole approach to composition. Tchaikovsky was no amateur as they were and insisted on formal study. He assiduously followed the examples of the great Austro-German composers and their tradition, adapted them to his own ends, and his work benefited thereby. The same to an extent could be said of the other three names I mentioned above.
      In later years, Rimsky-Korsakov, almost alone among the Nationalists, began to see the error of his ways, recognized the need for intense study to accomplish his ends, and really set out to make up for lost time. He acquired enough knowledge to acquire a font to pass on to pupils by keeping, as he put it, one jump ahead of them. He actually sought Tchaikovsky out at one point for guidance, and as it turned out, Tchaikovsky had more respect for him and his accomplishments than that of any of the other Nationalists. Even Rachmaninov in the end developed a healthy respect for him even though the two had totally different approaches.
      And Glazunov, who was prodigious in his talent at a very early age, actually ended up by outstripping his master in compositional skills, although I realize that many will dispute this.

      +alger3041 You are so right! Too much "academia" has pervaded the musical world with certain composers being accused of being out of touch with current trends but in the end this is really irrelevant.

    • @alger3041

      +cameronpaul Very good. Even in my professional status, I agree with your outlook 100%. We cannot go by what we read in books or hear others state, but on the contrary have to experience a given work of music for ourselves, for in the end, it is the work itself that matters, that we have to deal with.And it is also true that a work generally regarded as an important historical landmark may be found by many to be utterly revolting or at the very least, uncongenial; whereas, on the contrary, a work thought of us derivative, solidly on the beaten track, and consequently dismissed as insignificant, may move us to our very roots.This point would even apply regarding individual works by the same composer.And we must also remember that we are hearing a work of music with our own faculties - our minds, our ears, even our eyes (assuming the ability to read a score and mentally hearing what the notes on the page represent) - with our own faculties, not anyone else's not even the composers. We form our own images, and these are in a sense immutable, because they are what introduced us to a work in the first place. We should never permit any external influence to take these from us. The sources of a composer's inspiration or the coincidental biographical occurrences while a given work was composed may be incidentally interesting, but in many cases, because of how we receive a work, they can oftentimes become intrusive and quite frankly, unwelcome.You seem to be very much on the right track. Please tell me more about your musical experiences.

    Generally I've categorised all Respighi's works into the transitional period between the Romantic and Modern eras. I, for one, would rather refer to Respighi as a Romantic composer, due to the influence of Romance on his works.
