Retro and Radical
Nobody could combine retro and radical like Italian composer Ottorino Respighi. He called for both old and new in his orchestral tone poem, "The Pines of Rome." Roman trumpets depicting the march of ancient soldiers along the Appian Way. And a newfangled audio recording of a real nightingale, which shocked audiences in 1924. In today's show, old meets new in a concert performance of Respighi's "Pines of Rome" from Amsterdam.
