It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Cool. Of all Respighi's "other" works, his Concerto Gregoriano and Concerto Autumnal moved me the most.

My "deeply moved" Respighi's is his Il Tramonto (The Sunset). I don't understand Italian and did not check the verses but the music itself made good mood for a sunset scene.

I first heard this work in a Westminster LP by Jurinac with the Barylii quartet, deeply moved, as said.

There is also the wonderful Baker sings this work with orchestra instead of string quartet accompaniment. But Baker's Italian is somewhat distracting to me.

One can find Seefired and von Otter's recording on YouTube but Seefried's voice is too bright and healthy for this work and Otter's came with a not so devoted accompaniment. So I stick to Jurinac's at present.
