See this film program: Music For Movies: A Celebration Of Bernard Herrmann And Nino Rota
Nino Rota's famous theme for Fellini's 8-1/2
Imagine Hitchcock's Psycho or
Scorsese's Taxi Driver without the lacerating, haunting music - or The
Godfather films and Fellini's 8-1/2 without
the lush scores of Nino Rota. Still masterpieces, just . . . not
the same. The music without the movies, however, is well worth a listen as is
demonstrated in the program Music For Movies: A
Celebration Of Bernard Herrmann And Nino Rota at the
Brattle, which is also currently running a series of each composers' films in
honor of their centennials. Members of the highly praised local ensembles Cirkestra
and the Boston String Players
will perform selections from the repertoires of these two extraordinary and
influential composers at 40
