In the Pines of Rome Respighi tried, he tells us, to express a feeling for the "principal events of Roman life," that is, for the Rome he knew himself. In the Fountains of Rome he wished rather more directly and descriptively to express the feelings four of them aroused in him. These fountains, mostly baroque and mostly by Bernini, are inseparable from the memory of anybody who has lived, loved or struggled in Rome. (…)

In the Fountains of Rome Respighi set himself the task explained in his own words as follows: "In this symphonic poem the composer has endeavored to give expression to the sentiments and visions suggested to him by four of Rome's fountains, contemplated at the hour in which their character is most in harmony with the surrounding landscape or in which their beauty appears most impressive to the observer."

Fritz Reiner was internationally recognized as one of the foremost conductors of his time. Born in 1888 in Budapest, he received his musical education at the Academy of Music there. At the age of 23 he became conductor of the Budapest Volksoper and two years later was given the coveted post of principal conductor of the Dresden Opera; while there he worked with Richard Strauss on productions of his early operas and conducted the premiere of Die Frau ohne Schatten. In 1922 Reiner became conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra; nine years later he went to the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia to head the orchestral department. After a decade (1938-48) as music director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, he joined the Metropolitan Opera. Then in 1953 he became music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, which he built into one of the world's great ensembles. Ill health forced him to resign his post in 1962, and he died the following year.
