Respighi’s Roman Trilogy is probably among the most spectacularly orchestrated works in the repertoire.

The vivid colours and sounds of Imperial Roman life are brought to life in these works – from the violence in the Coliseum, to the legions marching with grim determination along the Appian Way, to children playing around a fountain on a hot Roman summer’s day. All are here in the musical equivalent of glorious Technicolor.
