Over the last few years, I have become more and more appreciative of
Respighi's music.

Tonight I am listening to his Symphonic Variations on Naxos 8.557820.
(The Slovak Radio Symphony is conducted by a single-named conductor
Adriano).  Unfortunately, this work is only 12 minutes long.  Stunning!
The organ is an ordinary orchestral instrument and comes in about halfway.
The harp adds colour to the work.

I can recommend this CD.  It also contains Respighi's Suite in E major
(Four movements), and three other orchestral pieces: Pelude, Corale and
Fugue for orchestra, Burlesque and Carnival Overture.

Happy listening
Gerhard
