Watts plays Grieg
Although Respighi is known for his colorful tone poems such as the Pines of Rome, some of his best work may be found in smaller scaled but equally colorful works, such as Three Botticelli Pictures (1927) for chamber orchestra. This suite is inspired by three famous Botticelli paintings: Spring (a pastorale), Adoration of the Magi, and The Birth of Venus.
Bartók’s one-act ballet The Miraculous Mandarin (1918-1924) caused a scandal at its 1926 premiere and was subsequently banned. During the rest of his life it was performed as this concert suite, which preserves about two-thirds of the original music.
