Anyone actually think they just forgot it?
That seems more plausible to me than a copyright issue. Very few classical recordings require such an overdub, so it's something a mastering engineer could have missed.
The nightingale sound is in the score, and it's not something inessential that can simply be omited, because it's almost like a solo in that passage. Every recording of Pines of Rome I have heard (about a dozen) has it.
BTW, concerning bird copyrights, the booklet of the 2010 Neschling release on BIS says "The recording of the nightingale singing in "I pini di Giancolo" is used with kind permission of Reinhold Meissner."

So, in the end, this is one to skip.

Or, buy the disc, and substitute the sounds of pigs making love in the mud...
Call it,
"THE SWINES OF ROME"

Unless you just absolutely love this recording, it seems really silly to pay $65 for it when the very fine BIS recording can purchased at a fraction of the price.

I have the Japanese RBCD and the birds are chirping happily on it. It sounds great, by the way.

Are you absolutely sure they're not pidgeons cooing?

The BIS performance doesn't even come close to this one, in my opinion, though it was recorded with better sound. I would love to hear if they did a remastering job that is significantly better than the original, which suffered from the multiple micing and restricted dynamic range.
