- Comment NP: [b]Romeo & Juliet[/b] (1968) - Nino Rota I'm a big big fan of Zeffirelli's take on the eternal story of forbidden love. The Prague re-recording of Rota's score is one of the oldest CDs in my collection and it was much played. I now took the opportunity to also add the original album, newly ...

Those were so lushly-scored I’ve really hoped they may get released as download singles (but none of them has).[/quote] Well, I don't like ...

- Comment NP: [b]A Classical Tale[/b] (2015) - Mike Batt A collection of symphonic cues. Of interest for film music conniseurs might be three cues from the animated series "Watership Down", since that score was released in Germany only in rather small numbers. Also of interest might be five cues ...
