Respighi, The Pines of Rome | Eugene Goossens (Cincinnati SO)

Ottorino Respighi (1879-1937) The Pines of Rome, P 141 (1924) (00:00) The Pines of the Villa Borghese. Children are playing in the pine grove of Villa Borghese: they dance round in circles, they pretend to be soldiers, marching and fighting, they become intoxicated with their shrieks like sparrows in the evening, and depart in a swarm. Suddenly, the scene changes… (02:34) Pines Near a Catacomb…and behold the shadows of pines circling the entrance of a catacomb: a heartfelt psalmody rises from the depths and fills the air solemnly like a hymn, then mysteriously disperses. (08:05)The Pines of the Janiculum. A quiver runs through the air: the pines of the Janiculum are silhouetted in the clear light of the full moon. A nightingale sings. (13:39) The Pines of the Appian Way. Misty dawn on the Appian Way. The tragic countryside watched over by solitary pines. Indistinct, incessant, the rhythm of innumerable footsteps. The poet has a fantastic vision of ancient glories: the trumpets sound and, in the brilliance of the new sun, a consular army bursts forth toward the Via Sacra, in order to ascend the steps of the Campidoglio in triumph. Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra Eugene Goossens, conductor Recorded in Music Hall, Cincinnati Recorded by RCA on February 14, 1946 This is the first commercial American recording of this work in the mono era - 8 years before Toscanini's commercial recording, before the Reiner/ Chicago legendary recording (all for RCA), and before Goossens' later, more famous stereo recording with the London Symphony. This was also his last studio recording in America before his fateful appointment in Australia.
