John Axelrod conducts the RAI National Symphony Orchestra in Nino Rota's music for Il Gattopardo, excerpts of Ellington's arrangement of The Nutcracker and Gershwin's Catfish Row.

John Axelrod conducts the RAI National Symphony Orchestra in Nino Rota's music for the film Il Gattopardo, plus excerpts of Duke Ellington's jazzy arrangement of Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker and Catfish Row - the suite from Gershwin's opera Porgy & Bess.

During the interval you can hear a performance of Nino Rota's little-known nonetto - one of his personal favourite pieces of his own chamber music.

This concert was recorded at the Arturo Toscanini Auditorium in Turin in July.
