The Pines of Rome
"The Pines of Rome," by Ottorino Respighi. It's not just about the the sights and sounds of nature. Respighi wanted the ancient pines to tell the history they had seen. He wrote: "The centuries-old trees which so dominate the Roman landscape became witnesses to the events of Roman life." In today's show, ancient history uncovered by the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos conducts a concert performance of "The Pines of Rome."
