Take a musical tour around late 19th-early 20th century Italy, soaking up the atmosphere with the 探花直播 Philharmonic Orchestra, one of the country鈥檚 leading non-professional symphony orchestras.听 An orchestral work by a young Giacomo Puccini introduces the concert before the intermezzo from his opera Manon Lescaut.听
It鈥檚 then to a village square in rural Sicily for the famous Easter Sunday scene from Mascagni鈥檚 one-act opera. Tchaikovsky鈥檚 drama-soaked symphonic poem Francesca da Rimini is a story of passion, murder and damnation.听 Respighi鈥檚 masterful orchestration brings Rome鈥檚 history and landmarks to life in ravishing cinematic detail.听
Four of the Fountains of Rome, including the celebrated Trevi Fountain, are depicted from dawn to dusk; while Pines begins as night falls over the pine grove of the Villa Borghese and ends with the rising sun on a Roman army marching along the Appian Way.听听
