'OK, so we all know the evergreen Respighi showpieces The Pines of Rome and The Fountains of Rome. Here, JoAnn Falletta and her Buffalo Philharmonic forces set out to prove that the composer is no two-hit wonder. Prove it they do, in the most enjoyable of fashions, exploring the vivid Respighian worlds of church windows, Rossini tributes and images from Brazil'. - James Inverne - Gramophone Magazine

“Naxos offers anther group of rich and exotic Respighi works which demonstrate his extraordinary gift for brilliant orchestrations. The Buffalo Philharmonic under music director JoAnn Falletta is treated to warm and spectacular recording, apt for such exotica.” Gramophone Magazine, February 2008
