PRESS RELEASE FROM TOCCATA CLASSICAL
On 6th August, we are excited to present the second volume of Giovanna Maria Gatto‘s recordings of Ottorino Resphigi‘s Complete Piano Works! Preview and pre-order now at https://toccataclassics.com/?p=24535
Respighi’s orchestral works are some of the most popular in the mainstream repertoire. His output of piano music, by contrast, is as good as unknown, and this Toccata Classics series will be the first-ever to present it all: original works and transcriptions alike, for solo piano, piano four hands and two pianos. The prentice works on this second volume of solo works reveal a Respighi with roots in the high-Romantic past of Schumann, Chopin and Brahms, but they also show the first signs of his later interest in the Italian pre-Baroque
