Just wanted to share this surreal opening from the 2nd mvt of Respighi’s Trittico botticelliano (Three Botticelli Pictures) as I begin my preparation for performance this Sunday!!
This concert is definitely my personal favorite of this season!! Never thought that I would perform this excerpt when I learnt it in grad school and now this is happening on my first professional season!!!
Extra-bonus that it is paired with Stravinsky’s Pulcinella suite. A lot of bassoon is happening in this program and I can’t wait to this cycle!!!
