"Fellini's films are full of visions of his own dreams. He once said that he was keeping a notebook near by his bed so that when he wakes up anytime at night or in the morning he would have instant access to a pen and a piece of paper to note or sketch his dreams. For a second, think about yourself being a movie director and that you would like to film one of your dreams, your favorite dream for example. What music would you use? Do we dream silent or with sounds? Or, when we wake up, do we remember the music in our dreams? How can one compose music for another person's dream? You will find answers to these intersting questions with this CD. It is a beautiful CD full of inspiration and a perfect match of two artists' work. Rota understood Fellini perfectly and succeeded in composing for another person's dreams. Sometimes, listening to this CD, I wonder if Fellini's dreams have changed after meeting Rota."
