About

Respighi’s orchestral works are some of the most popular in the mainstream repertoire. His output of piano music, by contrast, is as good as unknown, and this Toccata Classics series will be the first ever to present it all: original works and transcriptions alike, for solo piano, piano four hands and two pianos. The prentice works on this second volume of solo works reveal a Respighi with roots in the high-Romantic past of Schumann, Chopin and Brahms, but they also show the first signs of his later interest in the Italian pre-Baroque.

“Fabulous, rich-toned performances. Volume Two is eagerly awaited.” – International Piano, October 2019 (Vol.1: TOCC0405)

“The recorded sound is clear, bright and lifelike. There is much interesting music here, sensitively played by the excellent Ms. Gatto. Having listened to this, I think it is a shame this composer did not write more original music for the piano. I look forward to the transcriptions of his own works and other composers’ works. That, according to the notes, will be in volume 2.” – Musicweb International, November 2019 (Vol.1)
