Various Artists – La Dolce Vita (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

His intriguing soundtrack was actually a popular LP in it's own right throughout the '60s, and we're lucky to have the CAM series of Rota film scores (though all of them could use a sonic upgrade). LA DOLCE VITA is the score that propelled Rota to the first rank of film composers. The album is heavily composed of medleys-pop songs and Euro standards (two by Perez Prado)-juxtaposed against Rota's original themes, all of which evoke the bittersweet and, at times, eerie quality of Fellini's classic film. Music composed by Nino Rota Orchestra conducted by Carlo Savina.
