Agreed, on both counts. I'd love to hear more of Cortot playing Beethoven Piano Sonatas:

I have a feeling it would quickly become one of my favored sets.

By the way, the thing by Rzewsky that I'd love to hear his his Songs without Words (Mendelssohn) If you ever see a record please let me know.

Well I don't know other recordings, but I liked it very much indeed, all the soloists, the chorus, and the band are excellent.

Thank you. That cover was bugging me a bit.

To be sure, I was really curious about the cover picture; nonetheless I visited Wikipedia before posting that, to check whether Bumblebees were technically 'bugs'. It turns out they are classified under a different taxonomic order (Hymenoptera, and not Hemiptera).

Indeed. And Maazel's recording is absolutely great.

Although Maazel is superb, the best recording ever is perhaps Karajan/Philharmonia with Walter Legge.

Really, Karajan recorded Respighi's Feste Romane?? :o I didn't know it, how interesting!

Sorry, was looking at the album cover and didn't read the fine print.  I was refering to Pini di Roma, recorded by Karajan in 1958.  (Sorry for the false start.)

I'm afraid Pini di Roma is the only piece in the Roman trilogy that take pleasure in.  Another very intersting recording is Previtali, who was a friend of Respighi and probably had unique insight into the piece.  His old recording on Decca has finally been released.
