This week: Ottorino Respighi.
They weren’t so sure this son of a piano teacher had much aptitude for music… but that sure turned around! From his symphonic tone poems to his Ancient Airs and Dances suites, the magic in Respighi’s writing won him both wealth and esteem as Italy’s most celebrated composer after Puccini!
Tune in to “A Little Night Music” every night this week at 7 o’clock!
