I was introduced to Respighi's music when I was eighteen. I'm now 82. His music has travelled with me through decades and it has never failed to move me to wonder, to joy, to tears. It is magnificent.
Respighi is so underappreciated
e' vero purtroppo, ed è anche vero che in Italia non si fa più cultura musicale
You beat me to the punch.
Hai ragione, ahimè! Ma quale cultura si fa ora in Italia?
so unknown...so elegant
Luciano: There is no culture in the U.S. either. It's pop culture and entertainment.
I've been studying music for 20+ years and am stunned that I've only just come across this masterpiece.
Luke Faulkner I was thinking the same thing. TH-cam has certainly made some of the lesser known artists easier to access. I only knew The Ancient Airs and Dances.
@@nickdryad And not the Roman Trilogy ? 😵
Me too! Such an amazing piece and nobody plays it!
@@nickdryad apparently it was repressed politically by morons
Aha, found another comment of yours.
Sensational violin concerto. Respighi belongs in the Pantheon of 20th Century composers.
He is.
I feel that Respighi's music is best appreciated by those who have studied music seriously and especially those given the opportunity of playing in a symphonic group - even as amateurs. Young musicians, fortunate enough to have played Respighi in a 'youth' orchestra would NEVER regard his compositions as 'bland'. A music critic who considers this concerto, 'bland' is beyond redemption!
this is like a beautiful dream and I never want to wake up ...
I agree...divine!

I dont understand why this isnt heard more ( if at all) in our concert halls. It's such a beautiful composition.
Clive .L People like to stick with tried and true pieces, and it sucks
Because it's difficult for orchestra and violin.
@leon footguy I'm still around to reply to you. I totally agree with you. I am 71 yrs old and been attending concerts since i was 12 yrs old. What was staple programming then still applies to today i.e. load up the programmes with Schubert, Mozart, Beethoven ,Haydn etc. This is always sure to bring in the masses. Anything " off the beaten track" was and in many cases still avoided. But thanks to such sites as TH-cam the world of music has opened up for everyone. Masterpieces by many composers that you just dont hear often ( if at all) in the concert hall are made available for all music lovers to listen to and appreciate. Until recently I had no idea for example that Respighi composed such a vast output of wonderful music apart from the Roman Trilogy or Martinu wrote great symphonies ( i fell in love with his Frescos when i was 15) or Bruckner's early symphonies , especially 2 and 3 are such wonderful compositions. On a personal level i find all the TH-cam recordings from the HR Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra absolutely amazing. An extremely wide repertoire and from 2014 - 2021 absolutely wonderful audio quality and brilliant camera work and direction. The Bruckner 4th conducted by Inbal is the finest i have ever heard and the recent Bartok's Concerto for strings, percussion and celesta in the Corona era with no audience noises is truly mind blowing. May you have many more happy listening years.
Except in the finale there is very little virtuosic writing for the violin and Respighi described the solo part as being like the cantor of a choir, hence it is not attractive to many violinists. It is one of Respighi's finest works, the first few minutes of the slow movement are especially beautiful and moving.
Respighi is in my top 5 favourite composers , he is a master, why we don’t know& hear more of his beautiful, astounding,& moving music is beyond me. ❤️🌹
This black days of Covid-19 pandemia made me arrive TH-cam, where I can find muscians that were unknown to me, or unknown works of musicians worldly known. The gregorian concert is among my CD collection but last time I heard it is about ten years ago. It is a work the repertories rarely include. Thanks for this rendering
Respighi is one of my favourite composers, but that piece was new for me. But a half hour ago I heard that, and now I said: that is the most beautiful and agonizing music that I ever heard!
It's written after the 1st world war, and I feel in this music, how was Respighi escaped to this musical Heaven of past ages. At now: in 2019 I really understand him. AND I HONESTLY THANK YOU FOR THAT MUSICAL TRIP!
This is one of those pieces of music of which I simply never get tired of listening.
I am not familiar with Cappelletti but he has a great feeling for this piece. I wish this piece would get more performances. Nobody but nobody plays it. I learned it awhile back and I did not realize how great it was until I learned it. It is very liturgical and of course the 12/8 time signature (and other uncommon ones throughout the piece) perfectly depict the 10th century chants. Respighi really knew how to write for the violin, being a violinist himself. He didn't write much - this piece, the Concerto d'al Antica, the B minor Sonata, a 5-piece suite for violin and piano (nobody plays these really)...but what he did write was quite special. His two piano concertos are also outstandingly good and rarely get performed, probably because they are complex.
Was lucky enough to see this performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra this past weekend along with his "Fountains of Rome", beautiful performance of a beautiful piece
+Matthew Mckevitt a major symphony orchestra programmed this ? how wonderful !
+Matthew Mckevitt
now i see the review in the Chicago Tribune - and the reviewer, John von Rhein, is now one of my least liked critics as he wrote that the music of this Respighi concerto is "extremely well made but, in the final reckoning, rather bland."
In the final reckoning? So John von has appointed himself to be the final word on this ? By declaring this masterwork to be "rather bland", Mr. von Rhein has showed he is a music critic who has no feel for music.
lucky indeed! Respighi's music is so incredibly deep and beautiful! who was the director?
Thanks Matthew!
If I had listened to this with an "innocent ear" I would have said Vaughan Williams. I like Respighi and this was a work new to me. Thank you.
For me it's pure Respighi. For a start his orchestration is more colorful and very different from R.V.W.
I agree, I hear much of Vaughn Williams in here, in the best way ....
Yes, an essence of Vaughn Williams (5th?) with a faint wisp of Rimsky-Korsakoff, his friend.
Hearing the intro, I would guess that you may have thought "In the fen country" or the oboe concerto or even "lark ascending". Indeed, I can get why.
Vaughan Williams was inspired by folksong and Respighi by Gregorian chant, both are based on modal harmony rather than standard harmony based on the circle of fifths, so despite their individual styles, their melodies have a certain resemblance at times.
...wow. How the FUCK is this man not more present? Not played more often? Just wow, sends the shivers down my spine.
this bloke shocks the shit out of me with how good his music is, its being played at the prom in the uk this year, im so excited
11.20 - 12.00 just has to be one of the most "hair standing on end" beautiful pieces of music ever to be penned. True genius! I love it.
I came here to make this comment and saw you already had. Couldn't agree more!
Holy moly, how am I just now coming across Respighi? Where has my guy been all my life?
A really beautiful work. Can certainly understand why people think of Vaughan Williams when listening to this.
I strongly recommend the documentary " Ottorino Respighi....A Dream of Italy "
Just watched the documentary you recommended. Thanks. I really enjoyed it. Respighi was clearly something of a religious mystic. His music is an antidote to the empty modernism of some twentieth century composers.
Stupendo Respighi! Certo, uno dei più grandi compositori europei del XX secolo, del quale solo un ottuso spirito di censura continua a renderne rara l'esecuzione delle sue creazioni. Permane ancora un clima ideologico di cinquant'anni fa, che in Italia cercava di abbassare tutto quello che di grande e di immortale si era creato nella prima metà del 900. Onore dunque a questo genio italiano!
What balance. I can appreciate the chaotic sections because the beauty resolves it. Not many concertos do that
I was in a Rome mood this morning, and Respighi satisfied. Lovely.
My emotion’s depths to Respighi’s music is immeasurable and unfathomable, and beyond description
Respighi's melody is comfortable and soothing to the ears and the mind .

Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
The ascent starting at 1:38. It's like a dream! Gorgeous intro.
Ftt
Such a beautiful piece of music. Full of passion and expressiveness. Superb played
by the orchestra.
All his concerted works are beautiful and unique. He was truly a master!
A revelation to me. A wonderful piece, bursting with passion!!!!
Violin Soloist Andrea Cappelletti plays divine...B r a v o!!!
I learned this piece quite awhile ago and it's one of my faves. All of Respighi's violin music is outstanding. The Sonata in B minor, Concerto d'al Antica, Poema Autunnale (a nice change of pace from the Chausson Poeme that everyone plays.)
Ah, so achingly beautiful. Respighi can be a bit bombastic but he also can be truly profound and in complete sympathy with his musical heritage. This concerto is reminiscent of the Roman Trilogy, evoking a simmering afternoon under the pines around the catacombs, but it also reminds me of the pastoral music of Vaughan Williams, in particular The Lark Ascending. The start of the finale seems to sound remarkably English. A work of great beauty, and possibly one of Respighi's best. Many thanks for posting ! And kudos to Bamert for presenting so much magnificent unknown music.
Your second sentence is so achingly apt.. I've finally gotten over my disappointment with the "Feste" third of the trilogy, the other two-thirds are so extraordinarily wonderful.. Thanks for your entire comment, and thanks to RoyalDukeJam for posting.this.
deeply different for the ispiration and for inventions...perhaps in the same mood
@Chris Breemer- do you like his Church Windows work? That is my personal favourite of all of this remarkable composer’s works. Very rarely, if ever, given any recognition- such a shame.
@@franklinhill4341 I actually love the Roman Festivals the best out of the trilogy, but all three movements are spectacular.
The Pines is stunning , the finale makes me think of Roman Legions marching along the Appian Way - to no good no doubt. Brilliant, yes like a lovely dream. Saw and heard this once at a Prom in R Albert Hall for the first time - blew my mind away on first hearing. WOW lovely.
Respighi is for the musician as coffee is for the caffeine-addicted. The rarity of performances of Respighi is preferable to the 1000th performance of a radio-favorite that stuns the masses briefly
So damned well put!
Beautiful concert. Respighi is a composer of great talent and a fine orchestrator.
Divine,absolutely perfect🎻💟💟💟💟💟💟💟🎶🎶🎶
Questo brano lo immagino, a tratti, come la perfetta colonna sonora di una corsa lungo la libertà. Stupefacente!
Don Ottorino Respighi es un compositor maravilloso. Siempre pienso que no se le da verdadera importancia (mayor de la que tiene) que se merece. Este concierto, por ejemplo, es precioso, de asombrosa escritura. Muchas gracias, Royal Duke Jam, por haber subido este material. Saludos cordiales.
Estoy de acuerdo. Hay pocos compositores que usan los modos gregorianos y me interesa mucho los modos. Tambien su musica Aires y Danzas Antiguas es muy cantador!
Lark Ascending by Vaughan Williams premiered in 1921, Concerto Gregoriano by Respighi, premiered in 1922. Coincidence? Maybe, but it is hard to ignore certain similarities in the sound.
On the other hand, the Vaugan Williams Oboe Concerto (The Oboe at the start, reminds me of that) was premiered in 1944.
Excellent point regarding the coincidences.
Absolutely beautiful
Magnificent interpretation.
Absolutely marvelous! What a Masterpiece!
It sounds like film music，sometimes a bit of pastorale style ，or a kind of epic feeling now and then.It attracts me like magic.
I too have just heard this for the first time. Yet its inspiration is surely equal to 'Pines' and 'Fountains'...
Semplicemente SUBLIME. E' un lavoro potentemente evocativo, sensuale e ieratico allo stesso tempo.
Oh I love this so much, thank you for posting!!!!!
A happy rediscovery, haven't heard in years. Wild and joyous comments!
It makes me feel as if im flying high enough as i please, it's just beautiful.
Meravigliosa orchestrazione,,,!Grandissimo Respighi
Bellissime anche le sue trascrizioni da Bach.
Ah, quelle poignante beauté. Respighi était peut être un peu emphatique, mais il peut aussi être vraiment profond et en émulation avec son héritage musical. Ce concerto évoque la trilogie romaine, évoquant un après-midi frémissant sous les pins autour des catacombes, mais ça me rappelle aussi de la musique pastorale de Vaughan Williams, notamment "The Lark Ascending". Le début de la finale semble sonner remarquablement l'anglais. Un travail d'une grande beauté, et peut-être l'un des meilleurs de Respighi. Et bravo à Bamert pour conduire de main de maître cette magnifique musique restant assez méconnue !
Que c'est curieux - ce que vous dites est une traduction fidèle de ce qu'a dit Chris Breemer, il y a un an (voir ci-haut):"Ah, so achingly beautiful. Respighi can be a bit bombastic but he also can be truly profound and in complete sympathy with his musical heritage. This concerto is reminiscent of the Roman Trilogy, evoking a simmering afternoon under the pines around the catacombs, but it also reminds me of the pastoral music of Vaughan Williams, in particular The Lark Ascending.

And kudos to Bamert for presenting so much magnificent unknown music."Comment expliquez-vous cela, mon cher monsieur?
C'est troublant et intéressant tout à la fois cher ami ! Insinueriez vous que je me suis servi de "google T." pour traduire en français correct, un beau commentaire à l'attention de tous les anglophobes de cet excellent site qu'est Utube ? Par ma foi c'est une hypothèse qui se tient mais quoiqu'il en soit, je vous remercie de l'intérêt que vous me portez !! Recevez mes salutations et bonne journée à vous ............... ;-)
Phillippe. Sometimes in English, sometimes in French. I like your posts. I will learn some french.
I first heard Respighi's The Birds suite as an eight year old, and it stayed with me. I also know the Roman Trilogy, but it's the first time I've ever heard this (Im in my 70s). It's very moving.
I know this statement is a little non-classical but this concerto is 'just the duck's nuts'.
devine! so wonderful!
absolutely gorgeous enough said
Diviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!
Respighi is second to none. He is an IMAM to me.
This music moves my soul to tears. It is one of the most beautiful, and profound music compositions. . I have composed a few pieces on this theme for organ and choir.
Altijd het beluisteren waard. Die prachtige orchestratie en de geniale verwerking van de gregoriaanse motieven van 'Victimae Pascali laudes" en de Alleluia' s in de derde beweging.
Prachtig voor deze paastijd.
Francesco
Great performance ! Thank you so much :)
Best master of 4 part writing in 100 years.
Stunning. What a genius.
Dankeschön! So good.
Superbe émotion que ce poème-ci... Quelle verve mélodique chez ce compositeur...
Extraordinario. Extraordinary!!!
Beautiful!
Respighi and Vaughn Williams evoke the primeval soul in life.
Bella orquestación. Obra interesante. Excelente la interpretación del solista y orquesta.
unreal.i cant thank you enough for posting this... it shows the beauty of our loving God
Une œuvre bien peu connue en France, car quasiment jamais programmée en concert, mais qui se révèle être l'une des pièces maîtresses pour violon et orchestre de par sa richesse orchestrale et l'intensité d'écriture.
Merci à RoyalDukeJam pour ce très bon choix.
è bellissimo, delicato e struggente
Un chef d'oeuvre
!Esto es una brisa musical...¡
Love it - TY
(00:00) 01 Andante Tranquillo
(09:13) 02 Andante Espressivo E Sostenuto
(19:41) 03 Finale (Alleluia): Allegro Energico
God this piece makes me want to jump out of my chair and dance all around the room...but that would involve getting off my chair so I think I'll just keep listening :) Trombones after 22min though...Goddamn
29:00 I’m bursting into tears it’s so good
Quelle merveille !
HEAVENLY!
Un chant de grâce d'une poésie surnaturelle. Peu de compositeurs savent tirer autant d'agrément d'un violon.
Sublime!!
God it's a pure wonder
Every day.
Good violinist - never heard of him before but he does it well.
hermosa musica
This should be the soundtrack to the next Elder Scrolls.
The intro reminds me of a Ralph Vaughan-style atmosphere
sad and dramatic masterpiece.
Paradise🎶🎶♥️🎶🎶♥️🎶🎶♥️🎻🍀♥️♥️
For those of you who feel insulted when a "Music Critic" calls this music "rather bland," take into account just two things: One is that the music doesn't do anything for him--because he has heard literally thousands of works that probably sound similar, and Two is HE FEELS (and this is the one that gets me) that the work does not merit frequent performances. That is his opinion.
It is a bad opinion.
1:37 et 22:40 deux instants magiques !
Pour violon et orchestre de Respighi, une oeuvre - une de plus - trop peu connue : le Poema Automnale op.146, avec cette superbe tonalité typique de Respighi : on se balade en forêt, avec des oiseaux volant et chantant au-dessus de nous
Um nome que não conhecia. Sou músico violinista há trinta anos. A música é finita ?
At first was surprised at a seeming similarity to VW. Then I remembered both men were fascinated by pre- Baroque music.
かっこいい！
Did anyone detect an influence of Scheherazade (Rimsky-Korsakov) in the violin?
There are things in here that remind me also of Chinese folk music.
Truly
23:20 sounds like the beginning of the Salve Regina in the flute-with slight ornamentation
Grande música, me lembrou muito The Lark Ascending, de Vaughan Williams.
Beautiful. It sounds a bit like something Vaughan Williams would write.
I thought the same thing.
I am thinking the same thing! Like a bit of Lark Ascending, and more than a bit of Flos Campi. This Respighi piece is gorgeous!
This concert is inspired by the Gregorian Chants,
whose origin dates back to the times of the Roman Empire, at the beginning of Christianity. In the following centuries they became liturgical vocal music of the Catholic Church and sung, even today, only in the monasteries during the religious services.
Most of these songs that we know today, date back to the days of the Carolingian dynasty.
Probably also Vaughan Williams was inspired by religious music

Ma i concerti organizzati dall'AGIMUS esistono ancora? Non mi sembra logica la mancanza di "Educazione Musicale" dai nostri Licei ed in particolare dal Classico. Auspicherei la diffusione dei brani classici sui mezzi pubblici di tutte le maggiori città italiane. Probabilmente stempererebbe le tensioni quotidiane provocate dagli impegni rutinari.
Notável - como composição e orquestração - parece no início uma peça algo bucólica, depois mais tipo "Concerto Grosso" e acaba estendo-se como um largo Adágio para violino e orquestra, digna de um Chabier, V. Williams e até, porque não>?, Max Bruch. Respighi continua mal conhecido é verdade - talvez por estar intercalado entre óperas de Verdi e Puccini, etc., acabam sempre por ter primazia. Uma pena que a música italiana tenha caído nesse vício operático. Música pura, sem folhetins dramáticos, fez avançar Mahler, Sibelius, Bartok, Delius, V. Williams entre tantos outros. Tempo de ressuscitar Respighi, ave Ottorino !
