About

In June 2007 Gabriel Feltz was conducting in Milan and during a break in rehearsals visited a well stocked music shop and made an amazing discovery – the score from a ballet by Respighi which he had never heard of Belkis, Queen of Sheba. Premiered in 1932, it was one of the most extravagant ballet productions ever staged with over 200 musicians and at least as many dancers. After a few performances, the work was forgotten until it was rediscovered by Gabriel Feltz and the decision made to film the concert.
