Release Notes:
Conductor Yannick NΘzet-SΘguin is as well-loved by
the public as he is appreciated by his peers, who
awarded him the Canada Council for the Arts
Virginia Parker Prize in September 2000. At the
helm of the Orchestre MΘtropolitain du Grand
MontrΘal since March 2000, Yannick NΘzet-SΘguin has
worked tirelessly to broaden the scope of the
orchestraÆs involvement in a variety of venues,
while always maintaining his own rigorous standards
and keeping in close touch with the music-loving
public.
Renowned as a prolific composer of film
soundtracks, Nino Rota is chiefly associated with
directors such as Zeffirelli, Coppola, and above
all, Fellini, for whom he became the regular
composer. Composed in 1966, the ballet La Strada is
the result of a commission by La Scala of Milan.
Rota grouped the highlights in a symphonic suite,
which aptly summarizes the plot.
Kurt WeillÆs universal appeal rests foremost upon
his unforgettable output of ballads and songs with
their characteristic blend of satire and nostalgia.
Some of them have become Jazz standards, such as
the famous Ballad of Mack the Knife. Composed in
1933, the Symphony No. 2 was premiered in Amsterdam
the following year, and constitutes the only
symphonic work of WeillÆs mature years.
Enjoy!
