This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.

The Beethoven Orchestra of Bonn is rapidly expanding its discography under its conductor Stefan Blunier. The orchestra's outstanding live recordings also reflect carefully considered program planning. On this SACD the Bonn musicians dedicate themselves to the symphonic poems of Ottorino Respighi. In addition to Pines of Rome and Three Paintings by Sandro Botticelli, the highly successful orchestra presents Respighi's rarely heard arrangement of three organ chorales by Johann Sebastian Bach: 'Nun komm der Heiden Heiland', 'Meine Seele erhebt den Herren' and 'Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme'.
