Ottorino Respighi: Complete Piano Music, Vol. 2
) | Label: TOCCATA CLASSICS Catalog: TOCC0605 Format: COMPACT DISC Gatto, GiovannaRespighi’s orchestral works are some of the most popular in the mainstream repertoire. His output of piano music, by contrast, is as good as unknown, and this Toccata Classics series will be the first ever to present it all: original works and transcriptions alike, for solo piano, piano four hands and two pianos. The prentice works on this second volume of solo works reveal a Respighi with roots in the high-Romantic past of Schumann, Chopin and Brahms, but they also show the first signs of his later interest in the Italian pre-Baroque.
