Music reviews of 8 1/2: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Music Review: A little orchestra of Hope with Love as its conductor
Rating: 4 Stars
Nino Rota was a unique composer, perhaps, the greatest melodist of the last century. His magic tunes are sweet and melodius, gentle and rhythmical, melancholic and playful. As with every movie Fellini and Rota had worked together on, "8 1/2", a perfect masterpiece is accompanied by a perfect score which is indelible part of the movie. Every melody either written by Rota for the movie - the main theme, La Passerella, Guido and Luisa's Swing, Carlotta's Gallop, the medley of L'Harem or skillfully adapted by him incredibly charming Gigolettes da "La Danza Delle Libellule" by F. Lehar, Sinfonia Da "La Barbiere di Siviglia" by G. Rossini, "The Waltz of the Flowers" from "The Sleeping Beauty" by P. Tchaikovsky, and " Flight of the Valkyrie " by R. Wagner reflect every emotion of Guido, the main character, and bring to life his every memory, bitter, sweet, regretful, or embarrassing. The only reason I can't give this CD a perfect score is the very noticeable omission. Undeniably, the greatest, the most memorable track of the whole movie, La Saraghina's Rumba, her lurid dance on the beach is not included in its entirety in the content of the otherwise enjoyable disc. The bits of Rumba can be heard on the track 10, L'Harem. It is better than nothing but it is the big disappointment for me because the beach scene with its music is the most powerful and moving scene for me in the whole movie.
