Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Josep Caballé-Domenech

\n

Respighi’s Roman Trilogy is probably among the most\nspectacularly orchestrated works in the repertoire.

\n

The vivid colours and sounds of Imperial Roman life are brought\nto life in these works – from the violence in the Coliseum, to the\nlegions marching with grim determination along the Appian Way, to\nchildren playing around a fountain on a hot Roman summer’s day. All\nare here in the musical equivalent of glorious Technicolor.

\n

Josep Caballé-Domenech studied with Sir Colin Davis as part of\nthe coveted Rolex Mentor scheme and had further studies with David\nZinman. He regularly conducts the Royal Philharmonic, Czech\nPhilharmonic, and orchestras in Spain and the US.
