Ottorino Respighi - His Music and His Life
The Italian Ottorino Respighi was born in Bologna on July 9, 1879.
Respighi studied in Italy with Guiseppe Martucci (1856-1909), in Russia with Nikolai Rimski-Korssakoff, and in Germany with Max Bruch.
He transferred the impressionism from France to Italy. The Italian instrumental music acquired standing because of Respighi.
In "Fontane di Roma" (1916), Respighi described his feelings and sentimentality at first sight of four Roman fountains. "Pini de Roma" (1924) went for the old pine tree groupings in Rome, and in "Feste Romane", Respighi tried to catch up fiesta joys in Rome.
Chamber music, mimic dramas and nine operas (i.e. "La Fiamme" - "The Flame") belong to an outstanding composition repertory.
Ottorino Respighi passed away in Rome on April 18, 1936.
