Nino Rota was unquestionably one of the greatest composers in the history of the cinema. This recording, originally released in 2005, features Josep Pons and the Orquesta Ciudad de Granad performing music from his films La Strada and Il Gattopardo. It also includes a fascinating bonus - a ''serious'' work by Rota, the Concerto Soirée, played here by pianist Benedetto Lupo.
