Fountains of Rome (Fontane di Roma) is a symphonic poem written in 1916 by the Italian composer Ottorino Respighi (1879 - 1936). It was his first great success as a composer and is his best known work. There are four movements, each depicting one of Rome’s fountains at a different time of the day. For more detailed information see the Wiki entry. The average playing time is 14 minutes (AllMusic). I have two versions, of which I have a slight preference for the one by the Orchestre Symphonique de Montreal under Charles Dutoit on a Decca/London CD.
