Ancient airs and dance suite (Respighi)

Ancient Airs and Dances is a set of three orchestral suites by Italian composer Ottorino Respighi. In addition to being a renowned composer and conductor, Respighi was also a notable musicologist. His interest in Italian music of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries led him to compose works inspired by the music of these periods. Played by The Australian Chamber Orchestra - leader Richard Tognetti.
