For his second album on the prestigious classical label Deutsche Grammophon (released on October 17th 2011, Universal Music distribution), Richard Galliano pays homage to the music of Nino Rota (1911-79), whose centenary is celebrated this year.

The music is mainly themes of the movie ‘La Strada’, but there are  other beautiful soundtracks composed for Federico Fellini. The CD opens with a surprise: on one of the ‘Godfather’ themes from Francis Ford Coppola, Richard Galliano forgoes the  accordion to play the trombone!

Nino Rota is probably the most acclaimed Italian musician of modern times having won many Oscars, Grammies, and other Golden Globe awards.

The very famous Richard Galliano, a French native with an Italian name and parentage, will surely conquer the public all over the world with this new genuine adaptation of rich musical masterpieces.
