A cinematic sweep of orchestral color — from a Viennese waltz to ancient Rome in full thunder.
Travel from the ballrooms of Vienna to the grandeur of ancient Rome in an evening of dazzling orchestral color. Ravel's La Valse whirls the Viennese waltz to its glittering breaking point, while Respighi's Pines of Rome and Roman Festivals unleash the full might of the orchestra — from hushed catacombs to an ancient army on the march — in one of the most thunderous finales in all of music.
