Nino Rota: Music for Film presents the intensely romantic film scores of famed composer Nino Rota, whose music beautifully evokes the romance and drama of the cinema and of his native Italy. One of the country's most famous composers of this century, Nino Rota is best known for his more than 150 film soundtracks, especially those for the films of Federico Fellini.

Thanks to skillful archiving of his papers and meticulous research, the original musical concepts for seven important scores of Rota are performed for the first time by Riccardo Muti and the Filarmonica della Scala. In addition to work from such Fellini classics as 8 1/2 and La Dolce Vita, the album includes the sweeping love theme from Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather and The Godfather Part II and other dramatic Rota music. The powerful impact of Nino Rota's music from these films is unforgettably recorded in this superb performance by Muti and La Scala.
