The symphonic poems 'Fountains of Rome' (performed for the first time 100 years ago) and 'Pines of Rome' by the Italian composer Ottorino Respighi, whisk us to the Eternal City for a unique journey between the flowing water of its famous fountains and some of its most legendary sites. Thanks to the Suites n°1 and n°2 of' Ancient Airs and Dances for Lute' we can travel back in time to discover once again Italian and French music of the 16th and 17th centuries reinterpreted by Respighi. The pianists Giulio Biddau & Norberto Cordisco Respighi, a member of the Respighi family, provide an accurate performance that highlights the poetry and the enthusiasm of the scores, transcribed for piano duo by Respighi himself.
