"This latest recording of Respighi's Sinfonia drammatica (the third so far) is by a long way the best, and the consequence is that the work has never sounded more convincing. Of course Respighi doesn't so much reveal his influences as flaunt them: there are some moments which might almost be by Franck or Strauss, Rimsky-Korsakov or Scriabin, until you try to locate where Respighi borrowed them from ...This is a stunning performance, intensely responsive to the work's emotional core; it is most magnificently played and sumptuously recorded, and has such conviction to it that the indulgent smile (''poor old Respighi! Pretending to be a symphonist!'') is quite often wiped from one's face.'" --Gramophone Magazine, May 2016
Ottorino Respighi’s hour-long Sinfonia drammatica, which he completed just before the First World War broke out, appears to anticipate the impending tragedy. The brilliantly orchestrated composition (with six horns, four percussion, harp and organ) is the Italian composer’s answer to Mahler and Richard Strauss: it could easily have been composed in the German-speaking world. The music lives up to its name – it is dramatic in all respects, with a hint of nostalgia for a world that was on the verge of disappearing forever.
