“LOVE THEME” FROM THE GODFATHER –  It is impossible to discuss The Godfather without acknowledging its massive impact on subsequent movies and popular culture. The film has spawned countless imitators and parodies, from The Sopranos to The Simpsons. Its influence can be seen in the work of contemporary directors like Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino, both of whom have cited The Godfather as a major influence on their careers. Yet despite its pervasive influence, The Godfather remains a singular achievement in the world of cinema. The Godfather follows the Corleone family, a powerful New York mafia family, as they navigate the treacherous world of organized crime in the post-World War II era. The story centers around Don Vito Corleone, the family patriarch, and his youngest son Michael, who ultimately transitions from a reluctant outsider to a ruthless mafia boss as the family’s power and influence grow. The story of the Corleone family is a timeless one, exploring themes of power, loyalty, love, and betrayal that resonate with audiences everywhere. And with its masterful use of cinematography and music, The Godfather continues to captivate and inspire viewers more than 50 years after its initial release. It is considered one of the greatest films of all time and is a cornerstone of the gangster genre. “Love Theme” from The Godfather is an instrumental composition by Italian pianist, conductor, composer and academic, Nino Rota. Lyrics in several different languages were later recorded.

This is“Love Theme” from The Godfather by Nino Rota, performed by Luka Sulic and HAUSER, also known as 2CELLOS, with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Sydney Opera House.

    1. Thank you, dear Penn! There’s no way my Sicilian ancestors would have forgiven me the disgrazia of omitting this song today. It’s a beauty, one of those songs we recognize immediately and say perfezione! So glad you’re enjoying the music! 🎶 ♡
