Works by Respighi New York Performances

At Alice Tully Hall, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center turns to Ottorino Respighi in a program paired with Ravel, placing two early‑20th‑century composers in close relief. Respighi is often identified in New York with orchestral tone poems, but his chamber writing shows a more private craft: clear lines, antique echoes, and Italian lyric impulse kept on a tight leash. Heard in this setting, the music’s historical curiosity matters as much as its sound. One could argue it reveals Respighi at his most disciplined.
