Artist: ROTA, NINO
Title: LSD Roma
Label: EL RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $16.00
Catalog #: ACMEM 061CD
"Nino Rota and Federico Fellini are the definitive composer-director team. They are Italian cinema and they are internationally famous. This compilation features a number of Rota scores, Toby Dammit, the soundtrack of which is the centrepiece of this compilation is a cinematic masterpiece made by Fellini during his LSD-taking period and widely regarded as the most eloquent example of film psychedelia. Nino Rota is seen as very contemporary -- this compilation will be of interest to the same public who have purchased our highly successful Ennio Morricone compilations. Nino Rota is hugely collectable especially in Japan and America. The music of Nino Rota is the timeless sound of Italy; a mixture of romance, surrealism and madness. Almost all of the Fellini films are landmarks in cinema history and both the director and composer were extremely popular; Nino Rota's theme song for the film La Strada sold more than two million copies in Italy alone."

Title: Fellini Masterpieces: La Strada/Nights of Cabiria
Label: EL RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: ACMEM 123CD
"The artistic partnership between film director Federico Fellini and composer Nino Rota was one of the most productive and enduring in cinema history. La Strada and Nights of Cabiria announced their arrival on the scene to an awestruck Italian and international public. Both movies won Academy Awards for 'Best Foreign Language Film'; establishing the style that would soon reach full expression with the renowned La Dolce Vita. These are the original mono soundtracks recorded in 1952 and 1956 respectively: the same recordings that are used on the films and both are long out-of-print in any format."

Title: War and Peace OST
Label: EL RECORDS (UK)
Format: CD
Price: $17.00
Catalog #: ACMEM 147CD
"For King Vidor's 1956 filming of Tolstoy's epic, Nino Rota, already revered for his work on the films of Federico Fellini and who would go on to compose the Oscar-winning music for the first two parts of The Godfather trilogy, provides a suitably dramatic and romantic score that pays homage to the music of Tchaikovsky. The film is a truly sumptuous spectacle, thanks to the radiance of the young Audrey Hepburn (who plays Natasha) and the contribution of veteran cinematographer Jack Cardiff -- widely hailed as a genius in the field after his work on the Powell and Pressburger masterpieces A Matter of Life and Death, Black Narcissus and The Red Shoes. Nino Rota's score is long deleted in digital form and much sought-after by the composer's acolytes in America, Japan and Italy especially. Audrey Hepburn is collectable in all mediums and naturally enough, she graces the front cover of our edition."
