About

This 2015 catalogue CD offers total immersion in the filmic and musical universe of Nino Rota, one of the greatest composers in the history of the cinema. 'La Strada' and 'The Leopard' (with its unforgettable ball scene) are probably Rota’s most famous scores. Echoes of some of their inimitable themes are also to be found in the 'Concerto Soirée' premiered in 1962.

the fetching piano writing [in the Concerto soirée], very much the centre of attention, is brilliantly performed by Benedetto Lupo and wittily executed by the orchestra. A most attractive disc.” - Adrian Edwards, The Gramophone, July 2005

Sparkling performances of magic. Recommended.” - Ian Lace, Film Music on the Web, Spring 2005

All the performances are ravishing and the sound could not be better.” - Christopher Wood, Film Choice, BBC Music Magazine, Proms issue 2005

More than anyone else, Pons brings out the fun in Rota’s music…Pons’s selection is well chosen, and played with all the panache one could desire. Harmonia Mundi’s engineering shows the music off brilliantly." - Raymond S Tuttle, International Record Review, July/August 2005
