About
Nino Rota is best known for his music for film, but he spent a large part of his life composing 'classical' music. The works collected in this album deserve a special attention for their blend between tradition and the avant-garde; at the same time Rota's style is always recognisable, and highlights include two pieces from his celebrated film scores.
The release is enhanced by numerous documents and images in the booklet, courtesy of Silvia Rota Balchaert.

November 2013
Overall the Stradivarius recording, apart from having some of the worst cover artwork seen for a while, has almost everything going for it. Though on occasion almost precipitate, D'Orazio plays Rota with great style, elegantly supported by Giampaolo Nuti.
