Also, Concerto all’antica. David Alongna, violin; Salvatore Di Vittorio, Chamber Orchestra of New York. Naxos 8.573901.By John J. PuccioItalian composer and violinist Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936) is probably best known for his trilogy of tone-poem suites The Pines, Fountains, and Festivals of Rome. However, coming close on their heels is his Ancient Airs and Dances, here presented on a Naxos CD by Maestro Salvatore Di Vittorio and the Chamber Orchestra of New York.Respighi wrote three suites of Ancient Airs and Dances (1917, 1923, and 1931), the music freely adapted from original sixteenth-century pieces for lute. He based the first suite on various Renaissance works by Simone Molinaro, Vincenzo Galilei, and a few other anonymous composers. He based the second suite on works for lute, archlute, and viol by Fabritio Caroso, Jean-Baptiste Besard, Bernardo Gianoncelli, an anonymous composer, and an aria attributed to Marin Mersenne.

[…] old-fashioned or dated, his music sparkles with the life and vividness that those other periods suggest, but with a solid modernity that sets them apart. Deeply interested in older music, Respighi drew on Renaissance and Baroque tunes and styles in three suites composed in 1917, 1923, and 1932, titled Ancient Airs and Dances. The third of these, heard on Sunday’s concert, was arranged for strings only and was influenced by lute and guitar pieces by Besard, Ludovico Roncalli, Santino Garsi da Parma and other anonymous composers. Although the Respighi and the closing Tchaikovsky Serenade for Strings bookend the concert with strings-only works, woodwinds have a notable featured spot as well. KSO Principal Oboe Claire Chenette will join the chamber orchestra for Mozart’s Oboe Concerto in C Major, K. 314.
