RESPIGHI Ancient Airs and Dances 

RESPIGHI  Suite for Organ and Strings

TURINA La Oracion del Torero

VALENTE La Romanesca

Italian and Spanish flavours saturate this program in music of Respighi, Turina and others. Respighi's Suite for Organ and Strings puts the grand organ of Christ Church Cathedral in the spotlight, in the brilliant hands of David Drury. Respighi's Ancient Airs and Dances show the composer's love of early music, but his arrangements are full of his typical energy and colour. In addition to brilliant works with the orchestra, the concert will include organ solos, amongst which is Valente's beautiful La Romanesca.
