Ludovic Morlot, conductor
Berlioz: Roman Carnival Overture, Op. 9
Martinů: Symphony No. 6, "Fantaisies symphoniques," H. 343
Debussy: Nuages and Fêtes from Nocturnes
Respighi: Pines of Rome
I pini di Villa Borghese (The Pines of Villa Borghese)
Pini presso una catacomba (Pines near a catacomb)
I pini del Gianicolo (The Pines of the Janiculum)
I pini della Via Appia (The Pines of the Appian Way)
Martinů's is a lot of noise. No baby will be able to fall asleep with Debussy's Nocturne Fete. I like Berlioz' overture and Respighi's Pines, especially the 2nd and 4th. Don't know how they made the insect and bird calls in the 2nd. The crescendo in the 4th is absolutely invigorating.
