		From the piercingly sad strains of La Strada to the wonderfully loopy march from 8 1/2, Rota's music was perfectly wedded to the vision on the screen.
		Rota no doubt would have approved of Muti as an interpreter, whose burgeoning talents he admired in Italy when Muti was his student at the Bari Conservatory.
		This is Muti's second recording of Rota's music; the first included the ballet "La Strada" (constructed from the film's themes) and the dance sequences from The Leopard.

	Rota (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A rota is a type of sung round of the 13th and 14th centuries, probably only in England.
		In the rota, as opposed to the rondellus, the voices entered one at a time, each singing precisely what the previous voice sang, exactly as in the modern round.
		In fact the existence of a related, but somewhat different tradition in the rondellus in France at the same time implies that the practice may have come to England at the time of the Norman Conquest, and mutated in the two hundred years between that event and the oldest notated examples of the rota.

	Nino Rota - film composer
		It is his film music that is best remembered (in part because of its more frequent performance), and this reached its peak with his extended artistic partnership with Italian film director Frederico Fellini, scoring many of his best-known films such as "La Strada", "La Dolce Vita", "The Clowns", "Roma" and "Casanova".
		Rota's film music style is characterised by a certain good-humoured energy verging on satire.

		Nino Rota never made any distinction between his concert music and his music for films – each was of equal importance and, to his mind, deserved equal dedication.
		Rota’s music for Fellini’s film La Strada (1954) became the source for the music for the 1966 ballet of the same name and music from Rota’s Sinfonia sopra una canzone d’amore (Symphony on a love song) were used in two films: The Legend of the Glass Mountain (1949) and Il Gattopardo (The Leopard) (1962).
		Rota’s Sinfonia sopra una canzone d’amore was written in piano score only in 1947 but not performed in its definitive form until 17 June 1972.

	Nino Rota Film Music
		Although film music fans like to think they are an exclusive bunch, the one thing there has rarely been a shortage of is film music compilations.
		Having said that, given the state of classical music recording industry at the moment, it's only really the small labels who are generally furnishing us with inspiring new repertoire - indeed Rota's concert music has been championed by Chandos in some fine recordings.
		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.

	ederico Fellini, Nino Rota, Prova d'Orchestra, analyse du film
		Music conditions me, worries me, possesses me as a reproachful voice that tortures me because it shows me a dimension of peace, of harmony and completion in which I feel excluded, exiled.
		Rota's music (as often with Fellini) also reminds you here of the music written for circus and silent films, as a return to the origins of cinema, questioning its roots and thus the present day.
		Rota's music is sublime and very few directors have filmed music performance with such emotion and respect.

		This is some of Rota's best-known work, with his love themes from Romeo & Juliet and The Godfather, as well as his "Waltz" from The Godfather, among the most readily recognizable of film music from the 1970s.
		The second disc draws from Rota's extensive partnership with Italian director Federico Fellini, and it is far more varied, with comic, jazz, and even circus elements to accompany everything from the humorous reminiscence of Italian youth that is I Vitelloni to the phantasmagoric Fellini Satyricon.
		Rota has the ability to capture the moments from each cue in his scores with "THE TAMING OF THE SHREW", "THE GLASS MOUNTAIN", "LA DOLCE VITA" and "ROMEO and JULIET, the tapestry is fine and the weave is just right.

		This is music which is still evocative in contemporary terms, offering the pinnacle of creativity when music and film are intertwined in one amazing sensory experience.
		In any event, Rota wound up with a well-earned Oscar for his second Godfather score; and it is undoubtedly his music for that series, along with the love theme from Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet, for which he is best remembered.
		It is music that shimmers with symbolism, perfectly in sync with Fellini's penchant for fossicking around in the most bizarre caverns of the human condition.

		In his eleventh year as Music Director of the Oshawa Durham Symphony Orchestra in Canada, he has built the ODSO into a formidable ensemble prized by its city and region.
		The infernal and menacing dissonances, the demonic syncopations, all were rendered with a fearsome energy and evocative force which literally left one shaking...
		This was a splendid performance of a long and challenging work; the stark emotions of the opening movement beautifully contrasted with the ironic wit of the well-known scherzo movement.

	Movie Music UK - Nino Rota
		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).
		Sadly, Rota died before he could truly capitalize on his new American fame, suffering a coronary thrombosis at his home in Rome on 10 April 1979, aged 68.

		It's amazing to think that these 42 minutes are representative of what was a three and a half hour film in its original domestic format.
		The truth of it is that Rota's music was used reasonably sparingly throughout.
		The longest sequence requiring musical accompaniment is the poignant finale, when the proud Prince Farbrizio Salina (Burt Lancaster) suffers to see his country's future at a grand ball.

	Amarcord - Nino Rota
		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.

		Comment: This is a cd that is like having Nino Rota come into your home and sit down at your piano and play his music for as long as you want him to.Not a bad idea.
		These piano pieces are not an homage to Rota, as mentioned; they are, in essence, Nino Rota in the purist form.
		And how beautiful that form is. I could imagine Rota: his fingers flowing and pounding on the keys, as the reality of these pieces take form; the melodies oozing from his soul and thought, metamorphosizing into sonic bliss through the piano.
