Nino Rota / Romeo & Juliet-Complete Film Score (WV)

Review of Mr Jim (http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A2A7NHE5HTK79N/ref=cm_cr_dp_pdp)
A theme to end all themes "Romeo & Juliet", composed by Nino Rota is without a doubt one of the most romantic and poetic scores ever conceived. Even when the music stops, the theme remains in your mind with tragic-love and medieval forbidden passions. A play from William Shakespeare, under the brilliant direction of Franco Zeffirelli with a young cast of players ~ seventeen year old Leonard Whitting (as Romeo), fifteen year old Olivia Hussey (as Juliet) and outstanding supporting cast of Milo O’Shea (as Friar Laurence), Michael York (as Tybalt) and John McEnery (as Mercutio) takes this film adaptation to the ultimate of classic Shakespeare. The film was sexual, passionate and lavish, but it was our composer Nino Rota who connected all the musical notes and gave our characters life on the silver screen.

With Rota’s score there is beauty mixed with a deep sorrow that stirs every fibre within your being when you hear the music. Our composer captures the Italian renaissance and the desperate times for two young people in love headed for tragedy perfectly. For the first time we hear the entire and complete film score as it was meant to be heard. Wonderful digital recording with The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra & Chorus, conducted by Nic Raine and Choir Master Pavel Kuhn, on a musical journey back to Italy on October 19, 1968 when the film was released.
