	Nino Rota - film composer
		Born into a musical family and something of a child prodigy himself, Nino Rota started composing at the age of 8.
		Rota's film music style is characterised by a certain good-humoured energy verging on satire.
		This is not as extreme as a fixation, but simply a way of saying that "life is a circus" and allowed Rota to use different examples of circus-like themes, which mfiles believes may have been part of the inspiration for Danny Elfman's early style and his "Big Top Pee-Wee" in particular.

	classical music - andante - concertos by nino rota
		Nino Rota is still best known for his film music, especially the scores for such Fellini classics as 8½ and La Dolce Vita.
		Coming on the heels of discs exploring Rota's concertos for piano and cello, this latest release brings us four pieces for less-common solo instruments, three of which — the works for harp, bassoon and horn — get their premiere recordings.
		Rota's idiom was a conservative one and it did not change much over the years; the Bassoon Concerto, completed in 1977, gives few indications that it was written 30 years after the Harp Concerto.

	BBC - Easy & Soundtracks Review - Nino Rota, The Essential Film Music of Nino Rota
		Throw in a pinch of Nino Rota's genius and you have a piece of the most intimidating music ever heard in the cinema...it has to be the "Godfather Waltz".
		But there is much more to Rota than his archetypal mob music, confirmed by a new digital rerecording of his film work - the sound quality on the original film recordings is dubious, making this a perfectly legitimate and very effective exercise.
		A childhood prodigy, Nino Rota began as a conductor and composer of symphonies, ballets and operas, before writing scores for a large number of Italian and, later, Hollywood movies.

		It's important to note the album is a reconstruction of Rota's complete score (the original manuscripts were lost) by Mike Townend, and is performed by a larger orchestra than the original recording, while managing to maintain the same "feel" as the original, thanks to John Luard Timperley's vintage-sounding mix.
		Rota's score is gentle, so the City of Prague Philharmonic isn't saddled with any exotic tasks, meaning their performance is very good.

	Nino Rota - Biography
		The italian composer, Nino Rota, was born in Milan in 1911 and died in Rome in 1979.
		In 1919 he began studying the piano with his mother, and at the age of eight he started to compose.
		Well acquainted with new musical developments from his youth (during which he enjoyed a long personal friendship with Stravinksy), Rota followed a quite different path in his own music, retaining the supremacy of melody, a tonality free of harmonic complexity, established patterns of rhythm and form, and a concept of music as spontaneous, direct expression.

		Of course, what they musicians are rehearsing is this nine minute suite by Rota and so the selection here constitutes a full performance of all the music heard in the film.
		I'm sure it's all meant to be pastiche, but there is so much of Rota's personality in every bar that to actually call it pastiche is doing the music a disservice.
		Unsurprisingly, it is deeply rooted in 19th century romanticism, but again, with Rota's own voice so strong that it would be more reasonable to describe it as romantic music that was simply written in the wrong era.

		Miklos Rozsa's 'Spellbound Concerto' is perhaps the best-known example of the latter variant but the young(ish) Rota came up with a powerful competitor in The Mountain, a 1949 tale of a composer smitten with the Italian girl who rescued him during the war when his RAF plane crashed in the mountains.
		Rota's gifts were such that he was able to serve both these directors.
		Rota adapted the famous waltz theme from a 1950s comedy called Fortinella, and a secondary theme from 1969's Spirits Of The Dead, part of a trilogy of Edgar Allen Poe stories.

		Not that Rota was 'just' a film composer, but as increasing numbers of recordings of his concert music demonstrate, he was simply a major composer.
		There is not one word about Nino Rota, about his approach to scoring the films, or about the presentation on the music on the CDs.
		Notes on Rota's actual use of music would be valuable too, simply because with these Fellini films he did not take a direct approach, but utilised everything from jazz and ragtime idoms, to interpolations of sometimes idiosyncratic arrangements of popular standards and classics.

	Movie Music UK - Nino Rota
		Nino Rota — real name Nino Rinaldi — was born into a family of musicians.
		Rota began working in film as early as 1933, and was in constant employment in the Italian film industry, working extensively with directors such as Franco Zeffirelli, Luchino Visconti Renato Castellani, and Mario Monicelli.
		Other notable films in Rota's history include "Il Gattopardo" (1963), "Romeo & Juliet" (1968), and the near-legendary "The Godfather" (1972), which should have won him an Oscar, but which was deemed ineligible due it re-using themes from his own score for "Fortunella" (1957).

	Amarcord - Nino Rota (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Italy has, without doubt, produced some of the finest composers to have their music grace the silver screen and perhaps the two most notable are Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota.
		Amarcord is one of Rota's most well known non-Hollywood scores and made somewhat infamous by its inclusion in Horner's main theme for Honey I Shrunk the Kids which resulted in a law suit from Rota's estate.
		Rota is not unaccustomed to creating large orchestral scores, but for many of Fellini's films, a more nostalgic set of instrumentals to cover almost anecdotal film making were the order of the day.

		I'm not going to get into the debate about which composer is the `greatest' but I'll just say Nino Rota is as good as anyone else; he should get equal treatment.
		Nino Rota began playing the piano at the age of 4 and began composing at the age of 8, making his first international breakthrough as a composer at the age of 10 or 11.
		But Rota lived through his music, day and night, he changed his work so many times that often the final transcripts haven't noted the last minute changes he made; you can feel his spirit in his music, a 1920s theme has life in it...

		Nino Rota (1911-79) will probably always be known as the composer of music to The Godfather (1971) and to the earlier Italian film masterpiece, La dolce vita (1963).
		That will be a shame because, as this disc demonstrates, Rota was highly inventive and actually had mastered all the "schools" of 20th century music, from neoromanticism to postmodernism--particularly the trends that infected Italian composers (everyone except Respighi).
		The Ensemble Nino Rota has clearly mastered the music of its namesake and the Chandos sound has never sounded fuller or more intimate.
