Rota:

Sinfonia sopra una canzone d'amore

The “Sinfonia sopra una canzone d’amore” was written in 1947 but only given its first performance in 1972. The composer used music featured in three of the movements in two of his most famous film scores, “The Glass Mountain” and “The Leopard”, and consequently the piece has a cinematic quality, whilst remaining firmly in the romantic tradition.

Concerto Soirée for piano & orchestra

The “Concerto Soirée” for piano and orchestra, completed in 1958, is a far more demanding work. It still features many references to his film music, including a wonderful melancholy theme in the third movement (Romanza) which the composer adapted from music used in Fellini’s “La Strada”.

Mario Folena (flute) & Benedetto Lupo (piano)

Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana, Massimo De Bernart

This disc pays homage to the concert and symphonic work of Nino Rota, a composer who is mostly known for his outstanding film scores including the unforgettable music of the “Godfather” movies. It features a piano concerto and a symphony based around a love song.
