    From Australia With Love
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2003*

Thank you Amazon for carrying such a large selection of titles from the Australian "Eloquence" series! While the majority of the performances in this mid-price import line are available stateside (but as different titles or with different packaging), many are not and needless to say I am snapping those CDs up quickly. This delightful disc is one of them.  It collects Respighi's "Pines of Rome," "The Birds," and "Fountains of Rome" as performed by Istvan Kertesz and the London Symphony Orchestra.  The performances, first released for Decca in 1969, are tremendous, though the disc does log in a bit on the short side -- only 55 minutes.  But personally, I'll take anything by Kertesz, no matter how brief.  It's a tragedy that Kertesz died in 1973 -- drowning while swimming in the Mediterranean -- at the age of 43.  While most conductors live to a ripe old age, too many others have been plucked from us in their prime -- Argenta, Cantelli, Fricsay, and Kertesz among them.  Savor the precious few recordings these greats left us.  Anyway, I certainly look forward to getting more Amazon deliveries from Australia with love.

    MORE APPRECIATION
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2010*

Down through the years, I have heard many performances of Respighi's "Pines of Rome" and his "Fountains of Rome".  To be honest, I have really never had too much appreciation for the aforesaid works as I have heard them.  That has changed with this splendid Telarc recording with the Atlanta Symphony conducted by Louis Lane.Thanks to this 1985 Digital recording at an unbelievable price of $9.98, I have far more appreciation for the subject works really enjoying them for a change.  Louis Lane and the Atlanta Symphony play the "Pines of Rome" and "Fountains of Rome" (the descriptive "The Birds" is also included) clearly and not as heavy and dense sounding to me as I have heard in other recordings.  All of the orchestra parts are very distinguishable to me.  All in all, I really enjoyed this wonderful sounding recording.

    O. Respighi-Pines and Fountains of Rome, the Birds
  

*by P***S on Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2009*

This Decca CD with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Estvan Kertesz includes the Pines and Fountains of Rome along with the Birds. Unfortunately, there was not enough disc space to include the third in the Roman Triptych, the Roman Festivals. The world of music lost an outstanding conductor when Kertesz drowned at the age of 44 in 1973 while swimming in the Mediterranean Sea. The recordings of the two tone poems are full of life,rhythm and color. The audio is very good. I place these performances up with those of C. Dutoit's and G. Sinopoli's of the same two pieces. You will enjoy the separate performance of the birds as the Dove coos, the Hen struts about stiffly, the Nightingale warbles and the Cuckoo cries followed by a return of the stately Prelude.P.F.Lesses
