The Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Riccardo Chailly, preformed this concert inspired by works from the cinema in July of 2011. Pieces include scores form Dmitri Shostakovich, Nino Rota and Ottorino Respighi.

In July 2011 the orchestra, under the ebullient direction of Riccardo Chailly, presented this concert of effervescent works by Dmitri Shostakovich, Nino Rota and Ottorino Respighi. All three composers possessed an unerring instinct for composing music that is guaranteed to please the ear of the listener. In their own individual ways, each of them powerfully demonstrates a phenomenal handling of tone colour. Their music sparkles with light one moment and lurks in the shadows the next.
