A magnificent symphonic picture scroll that combines color and dynamism.
Seiji Ozawa's performance of the Respighi Trilogy with the Boston Symphony Orchestra is remarkable for its meticulous tone design and passionate tempo control, and the orchestra's ability to portray and lead the work is brilliantly demonstrated.
Ozawa's conducting vividly portrays the work's grand scale while controlling the flow of emotion in every detail. The power of the brass and percussion and the flexible singing of the strings organically intertwine, reflecting the contrast between city and nature. The recording is clear, vividly capturing the rich acoustics of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. This performance allows you to experience Respighi's painterly sound, and can be said to be a definitive masterpiece reconstructed with a modern sensibility.
