I recently viewed the Criterion Edition of Fellini's 'Juliet of the Spirtits', 1965, and I hadn't seen the film since I first saw it at a retrospective in San Francisco in the 80's. This Nino Rota score would 'complete' my collection of his music (for me anyway), one of his most 'Fellini-esque' film scores, full of vibrancy and unusual orchestral flourishes. Hoping Quartet has this in the works, they've released their Nino Rota releases with perfection!

The Rota Renaissance on Quartet has been truly marvelous to behold. I'm up for any other definitive editions they want to produce!

Rota’s score for GIULETTA DEGLI SPIRITI has been released on CD more than once.
But what I’d love is a complete WAR AND PEACE.
Even the old Columbia lp is really just excerpts.
BTW: does anyone know if this film ever had overture, entr’acte, or exit cues?

I second this. In fact, I’d even take a remastered version of the LP if nothing else survives as ended up being the case with Romeo and Juliet. The current editions of this score sound just dreadful so this could use a serious remastering.

Quickly rising to the top of my favorite Felllini films. Dumstruck by the haunting beauty of that dreamy flick.

The collected Rota/Fellini works are, for me, the greatest body of composer/director (or series) works. I just adore all of them.

It's a matter of opinion, because, damn, there's Herrmann/Hitchcock, and Morricone/Leone, and Jarre/Lean, and Barry/Bond, Goldsmith/Schaffner, and somebody else will mention the various John Williams. But for me, those Rota tunes are just perfect.

Agree with the Herrmann and Morricone pairings in terms of quality, but there were many more Fellini/Rota films, weren't there?

I just watched I Vitelloni and was struck by that beautiful score. I see it’s only had a 2-3 minute excerpt released of the main theme. Could one of the labels tackle that, or is it just expanded releases of existing soundtracks that are open?
Only a few months ago we had talked about I VITELLONI and that the original tapes are long gone. You have to consider that the film and score are from 1953 - from that time only very few things have survived in Italy. So no label can release the original recording anymore:

The only possibility to get the complete VITELLONI score would be a new recording, but apparently nobody wants to do that which is a pity.

Constantly unmentioned remains Mancini/Edwards.
Rota/Fellini may have worked together on many projects, but as much as I love Rota, you also have to see that there's a lot of copy&paste going on.
