"... outstanding performances apparently recorded with a single microphone which provided a very well-balanced sound ... Doráti whips up an orchestral frenzy, everything under control, very well played by the Minnesota orchestra ... no other recording approaches the Doráti spectacular. Audiophiles and collectors surely will wish to own this important recording ..."

Recorded in November 1954, the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra and Antal Doráti present two of Respighi's most popular and recognized works. The symphonic poem Roman Festivals is the final chapter of the Roman Trilogy; the four movement Church Windows is based on Respighi's own piece Three Piano Preludes on Gregorian Melodies.

The pieces were first released on MG50046. Producer: Wilma Cozart Recording Director and Musical Supervisor: David Hall Recording Engineer and Technical Supervisor: C.
