The ‘Pines of Rome’ by Ottorino Respighi is a favourite piece of mine, featuring a huge orchestra building from nothing to one of the most climactic endings in all music! It’s a spectacular celebration of the sound of an orchestra! In this episode I share insights into this piece and I discuss ‘What is music?’ and ‘What led to the invention of the orchestra?’

This episode features the fourth movement from ‘The Pines of Rome’ by the composer Ottorino Respighi. I recommend the recording by the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by JoAnn Falletta.
