- Respighi's ballet 'Belkis, Queen of Sheba' was a tremendous success when first performed at La Scala, Milan, in 1932. It required enormous forces, not only on-stage with several hundred dancers, but also in the pit, with a huge orchestra, a large chorus and a narrator. The scenario depicted the union of the Queen of Sheba with King Solomon in the year 1000 B.C. However, the score's colossal requirements and 80-minute length meant that the work has never entered the general ballet repertoire.
In order to salvage some of the music, Respighi prepared the four-movement Orchestral Suite heard here. It was played by the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic under Sascha Goetzel during the 2014 Proms and was its UK premiere. As an encore, Maestro Goetzel played a work very popular in Turkey, "Köçekçe" by Ulvi Cemal Erkin. Видеоклипы
Respighi é un titano dell'orchestrazione

My favorite rendition of Belkis. Just... fantastic. As Bogie put it, "the stuff that dreams are made of."
Pure pleasure to listen

il capolavoro di Respighi è questo.
I. The Dream of Solomon-0:21
II. War Dance-8:47
III. The Dance of Belkis at Dawn-12:04
IV. Orgiastic Dance-19:49
That timpani player looks like he means business.

Brilliant and opulent score. Respighi at his best. The performance is very impressive. Respighi would have been a gifted composer for Hollywood movies. However, Respighi is not always too sumptuous. works such as Trittico Botticelliano show him even more refined in small ensembles. This all depends on what appeals more to listeners.
さすがイスタンブールのオケだけあり濃厚な弦や力強い打楽器が素晴らしいです!
そういえば一流のcymbalの産地ですね。
Google translate from the Japanese: "As expected, there is only one orchestra in Istanbul, and the rich strings and powerful percussion instruments are wonderful! ... Speaking of which, it's a first-class cymbal producing area."
Uni dei poemi sinfonici più belli....
Capolavoro assoluto
So cool to hear a piece of Respighi's that I was not familiar with. btw, that D/Eb clarinet player is pushing from the throat, as you can see by his necktie movement!
I was a clarinetist, and I find this very odd. Not good technique, and how do you do that? It's fatal for singers, of course, but I guess a wind instrument player can get away with it.
Bravi!!Bravi!!Bravi!!
So Human, Dream again Dream
Wonderful performance of a relatively unknown piece. I believe this was performed for the London Proms in 2014.
As stated under the video, this was that London Proms performance in 2014.
Such an exciting piece! Too bad about the extreme compression ruining the dynamics.
Perfecta y agradable interpretación.
La obra tiene un belleza enorme y sumerge perfectamente al oyente en la época y atmósfera que literalmente narra. ❤
Se nota la clara influencia en Respighi de su maestro Rimsky Kórsakov
