Famed for his inspired work with director Federico Fellini, Nino Rota was one of the most prolific
and acclaimed film composers of his era, with a list of soundtrack credits ranging from La Dolce Vita to
Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet to Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather. Born December 3, 1911 in Milan.
Italy, Rota was a child prodigy who had already written an opera and an oratorio prior to his fifteenth
birthday; he subsequently studied at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia as well as the Liceo Musicale in
Bari, where from 1950 to 1978 he served as director. In 1933 Rota first entered the Italian film industry,
scoring the "white telephone" romances and musicals prevalent during the era; before 1950, he composed
the music for some 30 features, as well as the operas Torquemada and The Florentine Straw Hat.
Amarcord [Chameleon] With the 1952 release Lo Sceicco Bianco, Rota teamed for the first time with
Fellini; their 30 year collaboration was one of the most fruitful director-composer pairings in film history,
resuting in world classics including 1954's La Strada (later adapted by Rota into a ballet), 1963's
8 1/2, 1974's Amarcord and, perhaps most famously, 1960's La Dolce Vita. Launched to international
prominence through his work with Fellini, Rota also began composing material for other major filmmakers
including Luchino Visconti (1960's Rocco E I Suoi Fratelli), King Vidor (1956's War and Peace) and Mario
Monicelli (1959's La Grande Guerra). In 1968 he scored Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet, and its love theme
became among his most recognized compositions; even more distinctive was his theme for Coppola's 1972
classic The Godfather. For 1974's The Godfather Part II, Rota won an Academy Award;
he died on April 10, 1979.
Music Composed by
Nino Rota
Played by the
Orchestre de la Suisse Romande
Conducted by
Fabio Luisi
"Italian conductor Fabio Luisi has witnessed a rapid rise from obscurity to prominence that almost seems like
the stuff of fantasy. Luisi originally trained at the piano and, after taking his diploma from the Paganini Conservatory
in his native Genoa, he settled in Paris and took private lessons with Aldo Ciccolini. During a stint back in Italy
playing accompaniments for singing lessons with Leyla Gencer, Luisi decided to broaden his horizons through
learning the art of conducting. Luisi relocated to Graz, where he studied under Milan Horvat and made his
conducting debut at the Graz Opera in 1984. Luisi's expertise in opera conducting and wide understanding of
repertoire attracted considerable attention, and by 1987 Luisi was accepting guest-conducting positions throughout
Europe. In 1990, Luisi founded the Graz Symphony Orchestra partly as a means to branch into non-operatic
orchestral literature, and he remained its music director until 1995. From there Luisi moved to the Tonk�nstler
-orchester in Vienna, which served as his home base until 2000. In the meantime, he picked up secondary
positions at a rate of one a year, slowly building the jet-setting round of appointments in a variety of cities.
Luisi formed part of a triumvirate of conductors leading the MDR orchestra in from 1996 and was named sole
director in 1999. In 1997, he accepted the role of music director of the Suisse Romande Orchestra, which Luisi
held for five years, and this really marked the beginning of Luisi's career as a recording artist. In 2003, he
took over the Dresden Staatskapelle and the Semperoper, and in 2005 he was awarded the job of leading the
Vienna Symphony. Luisi first appeared in the United States in 2000 with New York Philharmonic and, that
same year, with the Lyric Opera of Chicago; his debut with the Metropolitan Opera came in 2005. If that is
not enough, he also appeared in guest conducting ventures in Japan, Sweden, Australia, and France. As of
the spring of 2010, Luisi became the Met's principal guest conductor, to assist with keeping up the number of
productions while James Levine dealt with serious health issues, and in 2011 he was named Principal Conductor."
