Mauro Tortorelli (violin)About
The success of an instrumental elaboration for solo instrument of a work originally written for orchestra is based on three assumptions: the vital force of the original material, the creativity of the transcriber and the virtuosity of the performer.
To imagine a transcription for solo violin of some of the most famous soundtracks of Nino Rota may seem like a dangerous challenge. It must be said at once that the first of the ingredients already provides in itself a guarantee: in fact, all of the material chosen by Mauro Tortorelli for this reworking, apart from the single exception of the Mazurka from 'Il Gattopardo', by Luchino Visconti, comes from the long and fruitful collaboration with Fellini. From a first listen you will be struck by the ingenuity with which all the thematic material is treated, adapted and transformed for the solo violin.
The general structure of these elaborations is not random: at the beginning and end are two songs that have the respective role of Introduction (track 1 Capriccio-Fantasia) and final (track 13 Fantasia in Rotazione), which give to the whole structure its own formal unit.
The eleven titles that are divided between these two poles constitute a sort of suite in which the “Mazurka” from Il Gattopardo constitutes a small interlude with ironic and playful character.
