Info for Morricone: Cinema Rarities for Violin and String Orchestra

Die Idee zu diesem Album entstand während der Aufnahme des Vorgänger-Albums Cinema Suites (BBC Music Magazine's "Screen Choice", Album der Woche auf WDR3 etc.). Die Familie Morricone schickte Marco Serino eine Reihe von Raritäten, von denen sie hoffte, dass sie ebenfalls aufgenommen werden könnten, insbesondere "Dedicated to Maria" (aus dem Film The Sleeping Wife), das der Komponist seiner Frau gewidmet hatte. Diese Werke bilden zusammen mit anderen, die Serino in seinen eigenen Archiven wiederentdeckt hat, das Rückgrat von Cinema Rarities, einer idealen Fortsetzung der Cinema Suites. Nach zwanzig Jahren als Ennio Morricones Lieblingsgeiger beschäftigt sich Serino diesmal mit Kompositionen für Violine und Orchester fort, die nicht nur weniger bekannt sind, sondern auch einen gewissen Grad an " Italianità " aufweisen.

Den Kern des Programms bilden drei Suiten, die nach drei italienischen Filmregisseuren (Silvano Agosti, Mauro Bolognini und die Brüder Taviani) benannt sind, mit denen Morricone eng zusammenarbeitete. Obwohl die jeweiligen Filme nicht den internationalen Erfolg der Filme von Sergio Leone oder Giuseppe Tornatore erreichten, inspirierten sie den Komponisten zu neuen und unverwechselbaren Ideen, wie z. B. "Love Remembered" aus "The Inheritance", das von Marco Serino als eines der schönsten Stücke bezeichnet wird.

Ebenso typisch italienisch sind die beiden Auszüge aus der Filmmusik von The Lady Caliph unter der Regie von Alberto Bevilacqua, darunter das liebliche "Nocturne" und das kurze "Quasi un Vivaldi" (aus dem Film Revolver von Sergio Sollima).

Einen besonderen Platz nehmen die Four Adagios ein, eine Sammlung von vier vom Komponisten selbst ausgewählten Stücken. Four Adagios" ist Serino gewidmet und wurde unter der Leitung von Morricone weltweit aufgeführt. Es zeugt von der künstlerischen Partnerschaft zwischen dem Komponisten und dem Geiger, von ihrem gegenseitigen professionellen Respekt und ihrer tiefen Freundschaft.
