Concerto gregoriano

The Concerto gregoriano is a violin concerto by Ottorino Respighi.[1] It is inspired by the history and music of early Christianity, such as plainsong and Gregorian chant.[2][3] It was written in 1921 and premiered the following year in Rome.[4]

Notable recordings have been made by violinists Lydia Mordkovitch for Chandos and Takako Nishizaki for Marco Polo.[5][1]
