In December of 2019, Salvatore Di Vittorio was invited by The Morgan Library & Museum’s world-renowned music archive to donate the autograph manuscripts and accompanying materials of his compositional completion of Ottorino Respighi’s first Violin Concerto (in A Major) and his orchestration completion of Respighi’s Tre Liriche for mezzo-soprano and orchestra – two of the works entrusted to the Maestro in 2008 by Respighi’s great nieces Elsa and Gloria Pizzoli and Respighi archive curator/cataloger Potito Pedarra. This follows when in 2016, Di Vittorio was invited by the Morgan Museum to donate the autograph manuscript of his composition La Villa d’Este a Tivoli. The Violin Concerto continues to be championed internationally by numerous violinists, and Chamber Orchestra of New York will record the Tre Liriche for Naxos Records later this season.
