Among the most memorable and exciting evenings of my concert-going experience have been some excellent performances by student orchestras.

Belle idée, pour attester à qui en douterait encore, de la place toute particulière de Nino Rota dans la musique du XXème siècle, que d’adjoindre à ces pages cinéphiliques celles de la pièce de concert Divertimento concertante pour contrebasse et orchestre.
