Esther Peristerakis (Harfe) - Marcel Sobol (Horn) // When Toscanini encouraged Nino Rota to study at the Curtis Institute, where instructions by Fritz Reiner and a friendship with Aaron Copland awaited the precocious composer, it was already clear he would have a massive career. Only the direction wasn't certain yet. It turned out to be classical music and film music, the former informing the latter. Notable when you listen to, f. ex., the delicious waltz Rota from War & Peace.
