In Fellini's Trail

Nonet with strings and wind instruments is a type of ensemble that is not often in the spotlight. Yet the Czech composer Bohuslav Martinů and the Italian Nino Rota, known for his music for the legendary films of Federico Fellini, wrote inspired scores for this line-up. Two brilliant works that enter into dialogue with the lively Quintet, opus 39, by Sergei Prokofiev.
