The Italian Silver Age was also an incredibly prolific and immensely popular era of film scoring that gave us the likes of Ennio Morricone, Bruno Nicolai, Piero Piccioni, Riz Ortolani, Armando Trovajoli, Stelvio Cipriani, Carlo Rustichelli, Piero Umiliani, Francesco De Masi, Luis Bacalov, Carlo Savina and Guido \u0026amp; Maurizio De Angelis, among many others. The 1960s and '70s boasted an unmistakable flair for memorable tunes, great thematic variations and scores that could work exceptionally well on an album, away from their respective films. In fact, the large number of great scores tied to barely known movies has become the bane of soundtrack producers as there are so many wonderful scores that go unheard due to the relative obscurity of the pictures or the composers. Even if we were to release three or four titles each month, it would be decades before we could close the book on the great archives of Italian film music.  For this reason, Quartet Records aims to speed up the process and offer it at a reasonable price with its new collection of multi-CD sets dedicated to the Italian Silver Age. The aim of this project is to release rich, thematically connected box sets, each featuring scores that may be a hard sell on their own?but which should be more enticing when given a deluxe \"bulk discount.\" This first such collection includes a great variety of genres and composers?from marital dramas and comedies through horror and heist movies to the family film VERSO L'AVVENTURA, featuring commercially underrepresented composers such as Daniele Patucchi, Gian Piero Reverberi, Teo Usuelli, Gino Peguri, Romano Mussolini, Carlo Pes, Peppino de Luca, Gregorio Garc?a Segura and Fred Bongusto. What all the scores included have in common is a strong romantic and lounge vibe, so characteristic of Italian soundtracks of those years.  Some scores are either previously unreleased or, if there have been any prior digital releases, significantly expanded. Others have only been previously released on LP (CARA SPOSA, EUTANASIA DI UN AMORE, IL DEBITO CONIUGALE) or, like IL DIVORZIO, in an obscure Japanese edition decades ago.  This collection has been produced by Claudio Fuiano and painstakingly mastered by Chris Malone from the original master tapes. The package includes a richly illustrated 28-page full-color booklet with an in-depth essay by the late and much missed Gergely Hubai, who had worked hard on this project for several months.

Initially conceived as a kind of continuation of the Conan saga started three years earlier by the same producer, Dino de Laurentiis, the original idea was to tie in Sonja’s character with the rest of the Conan universe and create a trilogy featuring the hulky Cimmerian. Ennio Morricone, who took over after Basil Poledouris scored the first films, provides a powerful and exciting score dominated by an epic march as the main theme, far away from the Poledouris style. The score also features a beautiful love theme, fierce action cues, adventure music and dark and mystical passages. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRed Sonja was originally released by Varèse Sarabande on an LP (and later on CD) featuring two extremely long tracks labelled “Symphonic Suite for Chorus and Orchestra – Part I \u0026amp;amp; II,” although the music was organized like a regular album—just without separate track titles. In 2010, Perseverance Records released a new edition of the CD, cutting up the suites into tracks and organizing them into mostly chronological order, but not adding new material. This new edition contains all the music from the original album program in stereo (also reorganized in film order) and then the complete score in mono (from the only elements available). Both versions of the score have music that’s not heard in the other—for instance, the main battle theme from the album (“Fighting the Soldiers”) is never heard in such a developed version in the film, while other bits and pieces (like the music for Varna’s escape) were not included on the album.

The film is a macabre British black comedy about a Shakespearean actor who is systematically humiliated by critics who consider him hammy and old-fashioned. The actor becomes a serial killer and murders every critic by emulating the sadistic crimes in Shakespeare’s plays. Michael J. Lewis (SPHINX, THE MADWOMAN OF CHAILLOT, THE NAKED FACE, THE MEDUSA TOUCH) composed a delightful score, with a catchy, charming main theme that is opposed to the brutality of the story. Contrasting strains of old-fashioned lyricism and modern soundscapes frame a score of great stylistic diversity. Even though THEATRE OF BLOOD was a success—and has become even more widely admired over the last half-century—no commercial album of the full soundtrack existed until 2010, when the score made its debut on La-La Land Records.

A cornerstone of sophisticated heist comedy and romance, and a classic that began a saga about the clumsiest policeman in history: Inspector Clouseau, brilliantly played by Peter Sellers, who would reprise the role for four more films before his passing. In addition to Sellers, THE PINK PANTHER stars David Niven, Capucine, Robert Wagner and Claudia Cardinale. The film was shot on luxurious locations in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, with some sequences shot in Rome, Paris and Los Angeles. Henry Mancini had previously composed several acclaimed scores for Blake Edwards, including BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S, DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES and the TV series PETER GUNN. The theme he created for the animated main titles of THE PINK PANTHER immediately became a classic—one of the most famous pieces in the history of cinema and popular music culture. Mancini went on to write a fantastic catalog of melodies—all refined with his redoubtable good taste—and an exciting underscore that has remained unreleased for sixty years. Together with Johnny Mercer, he wrote another of his great songs, “It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio Stasera),” which appears on this CD in its original version, performed by Fran Jeffries. This double CD presents in the first disc the actual film score from the original master recordings with the original session at the Samuel Goldwyn Studios in 1963, preserved in mint condition and originally recorded in mono. It also includes some alternate versions and unused music. The second disc contains the remastered album Mancini recorded for RCA with new arrangements of the more commercial tracks.

What more can you say about BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S that hasn’t already been said? It is one of the most iconic films in the history of cinema, and that’s just from the first five minutes of the movie: Audrey Hepburn, Hubert de Givenchy’s Little Black Dress, Tiffany’s jewelry, and the longing strains of “Moon River.” Iconic images and iconic music. The music is perhaps Henry Mancini’s most famous score, awarded two Academy Awards (for Best Original Score and Best Original Song [“Moon River”]. It is the quintessence of his style, as well as the music and life-style of the sixties. The movie, its aesthetics and its music marked an era. As was customary in the sixties and during his contract with RCA, Mancini recorded a legendary album with a selection of cues specially arranged for listening pleasure. This album has been available continuously for more than sixty years, and it is impossible to count the number of reissues around the world, as well as the countless covers that singers of all nationalities and styles have recorded of “Moon River.” But the original version, the one heard in the movie, the magnificent and clever underscore, or “Moon River” itself, performed by Audrey Hepburn, was not released until Intrada found the masters in the Paramount vaults and released the actual score on CD, for which we will never be able to thank Douglass Fake and his team enough.

These beautifully designed albums contain some of the composer’s best-known themes, newly arranged and performed, and—in the case of AMERICANS—an original musical work for jazz soloists and orchestra. Ahead of his firstpublic appearance conducting a symphony concert in October 1972, John Barry prepared a series of suites from some of his most successful triumphs, in a lavish and new symphonic orchestration, specially arranged to be performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under his baton. An extensive James Bond suite, a delightful suite from ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND, the themes from MIDNIGHT COWBOY and MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS, the theme from the TV series THE ADVENTURER, and two suites from his two Oscar-winning scores of the 1960s: BORN FREE and THE LION IN WINTER. For reasons still unknown, the suite from THE LION IN WINTER was omitted from the original LP, but since it was recorded and included on the master tape, we happily premiere it on this CD. John Barry’s next album, PLAY IT AGAIN, was recorded during several sessions over the course of an entire year beginning in July 1973. Most of these would be recorded with a smaller orchestra and many would be newly conceived arrangements. Barry took the chance to revisit some pieces that were originally conceived as songs, featuring new instrumental arrangements: THE DOVE, THE TAMARIND SEED, MONTE WALSH, as well as songs from his stage musicals LOLITA, MY LOVE and BILLY. He also provided new arrangements of major works such as WALKABOUT, BOOM!, and previously unreleased themes from TV filmssuch as LOVE AMONG THE RUINS and THE GLASS MENAGERIE, as well as the theme from the TV series ORSON WELLES’ GREAT MYSTERIES. During the same period, Barry recorded other similar arrangements for Polydor, which were either released as singles or included on later compilations and reissues of PLAY IT AGAIN, such as A DOLL’S HOUSE, THE WHISPERERS, FOLLOW ME, and different arrangements of his iconic themes for DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER and THE ADVENTURER. The last album in this collection is perhaps the most special: his firstconcept album. AMERICANS, released in 1976, was a 36-minute compilation of impressions of the sights and sounds of America, written for orchestra and top jazz musicians. It was an ambitious work rooted in the composer’s love of jazz, American movies and the country itself. Barry recruited seven outstanding West Coast jazz soloists: Tony Terran, trumpet; Dick Nash, trombone; Ronnie Lang, alto sax; Jerome Richardson, tenor sax; Artie Kane, keyboards; Mike Rubin, bass; and John Guerin, drums. Israel Baker was concertmaster of the 42-piece orchestra, which was recorded over three days at Glen Glenn Sound on the Paramount Pictures lot. With little promotion and almost no reviews, Americans disappeared quickly from record bins and became a sought-after rarity. But for John Barry, who many years later called it “a thrilling experience,” it was an important artistic achievement—and one of the finest orchestral jazz albums of the era. He would employ alto sax player Ronnie Lang frequently thereafter, especially on jazz-based 1980s scores, and in the late 1990s, Barry would revisit the concept-album idea with his albums The Beyondness of Things and Eternal Echoes. The collection has been painstakingly produced and mastered by Chris Malone from original master tapes. The albums come in three separate jewel cases, housed—along with a separate 24-page booklet—in a handsome hardcover slipcase.

(2005) The film is about Giulio, a film student whose passion for the films of Hitchcock will take him to the site of a grisly murder. Obsessed with his beautiful neighbor Sasha, Giulio is distraught to learn that the girl’s mother was slain in a gruesome murder that would fit in a Hitchcock thriller. Knowing that Sasha didn’t like her overprotective mother, and that she had just seen STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, our hero deduces that she made a switch and had someone else commit the murder—but this also means that she will kill someone in return. Giulio launches a VERTIGO-inspired investigation on the streets of Turin and is shocked to learn that he was wrong—it was another Hitchcock film that inspired the plot! Can you guess which one? Filled with dozens of references to REAR WINDOW, STRAGERS ON A TRAIN, DIAL M FOR MURDER, VERTIGO and MARNIE, Dario Argento’s pastiche is a nice exercise from the giallo maestro, exercising his skills while paying homage to his favorite director. Pino Donaggio’s score (his third for the director) is an exciting blend of Herrmann-inspired suspense, interspersed with seductive siren- like vocals for scenes of voyeurism. Performed by the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Natale Massara, Donaggio’s music for DO YOU LIKE HITCHCOCK? is one of his best scores in the genre that brought him many adoring film music fans. This CD includes the entire Donaggio score, but whereas the previous 2013 edition was mastered from a DAT with 2-track mixes prepared for a cancelled 2005 album (with some anomalies), this time we started with the stereo mixes engineered by Marco Streccione from the original master tapes transferred in high resolution, carefully edited and mastered by Chris Malone and approved by the composer, presenting the music in greater detail.

AND HOW TO GET IT, winner of the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1965—a symbol of its generation, a true witness of its time. The “Swinging Sixties” marked a period of significant social, cultural and innovative change in the UK. John Barry played a pivotal role in shaping the cultural revolution of the era, swiftly becoming one of England’s most influential and sophisticated film composers. His GOLDFINGER soundtrack even surpassed The Beatles, reaching number 1 on the Billboard charts in March 1965. Barry’s music for THE KNACK is vibrant, funny, powerfully melodic and well-remembered as an icon of the “Swinging London” movement. The recording took place at CTS Studios in Bayswater with engineer Eric Tomlinson, the composer’s favourite combination of the era. It seems John Barry elected to make separate takes for the film and album as no two appear identical. Given the consistency in orchestra size, overall performance and acoustic, it seems that these were recorded concurrently rather than days or weeks apart. The soundtrack album of THE KNACK was released on LP by United Artists Records at the time of the film’s release. It was reissued on CD by Ryko in 1998 and by us in 2011 but has been out-of-print for the last 14 years. Both releases were mastered from 2-track stereo tapes, but the recent discovery of the original 3-track, 15 ips, first- generation master tapes has given us the opportunity to transfer it in high resolution and offer a more precise and detailed stereo mix. Whatever the reason for the difference, we are now able to proudly premiere almost all the film-specific recordings, amounting to 21 minutes, derived from the film’s monophonic music and effects (M\u0026amp;E) track. Even though the most critical listeners will hear some anomalies, we have employed every available technique to remove sound effects and ensure the music is as clear and enjoyable as possible. The result is convincing, and it’s the only way to listen to the long-lost, historical original film recording. We kindly invite you to listen to our samples and make your own decision about the sound quality before you buy. We have also included organist Alan Haven’s 45-RPM single version, arranged and conducted by John Barry for Fontana Records. And we conclude with lead actor Michael Crawford’s performance of the Leslie Bricusse lyrics with accompaniment conducted by David Whitaker. This was also the first-ever recording by the brilliant future star of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA and BILLY!

Starring Gian Maria Volonté, the filmwon the Palme d’Or at the 1972 Cannes Film Festival, with a special mention for Volonté as Best Actor.As he had done for other filmmakers, Morricone created a particular sound for Petri’s social cinema, based on grotesqueforms and adding profane elements to the music itself.

Over time, however, the film has become a funny and entertaining subgenrepulp cartoon.The score by Berto Pisano (co-composed by the unknown Jacques Chaumont, who, according to several sources, can be a pseudonymfor Pisano himself) deserves special mention. One of Pisano’s great skills was his ability to combine Italian musical tradition with newsounds emerging at the time. In KILL! the composer provides a cocktail of exotic sounds, exciting action passages and sophisticatederotic motifs. The title song is performed by the Queen of Soul, Doris Troy, and the love theme features the whisperings of Jean Sebergand the chorus of Alessandroni.KILL! was originally released on LP in Italy by General Music (whose original cover art we have retained for this Quartet CD) and in Japanby Seven Seas. Later, the CD was issued three times in Japan by three different labels, but all of them have been out of print for years.This is the first European release of the score on CD.

On an epic sea voyage from Polynesia to Alaska, aboard a tiny fragile raft, he is guided by the voices of his ancestors.\n\u003cbr\u003eMorricone’ score for OCEANO seeks to merge nature with mythology. It breathes, vibrates, transmits, and is characterized by its episodic and\n\u003cbr\u003eatmospheric structure, taking the form of an evocative soundscape. The composer draws on resources that recall a primitive, spiritual component: tribal percussion (tablas and bongos), solo woodwinds (flutesand clarinets), guitar, sitar, clanging metal and harp. The fusion of timbres in this instrumentation is unconventional. He expressively sets to music ideas associated with wind or nature, sound textures that construct Tanai’s intimate journey: we hear the sea, we feel the air roaring over the sail of his canoe, the danger lurking in the ocean, his loneliness. The music is another character that gives the filma lyrical dimension and complements the visual element, transcending its narrative function to become a gateway to meditation on the mystery of the sea and existence. Through his unmistakable style, Morricone invites us to immerse ourselves in a world of introspection, beauty and silent emotion.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe original 40-minute program was released on vinyl in 1971 in Italy and Japan, and both LPs quickly became collector’s items.

The filmtells the story of a British mercenary who in 1844 helped the slaves of an Antilles island colony revolt and gain independence for the island from Portugal, but later returned to hunt down a local rebel leader and former protégé. Because they previously worked together with great success on THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS, the next collaboration between Morricone and Pontecorvo was eagerly awaited. The composer rose to the occasion, writing a monumental score, led by the freedom hymn “Aboliçao”, a kind of beat Luba-mass. The music of QUEIMADA is characterized by its rich textures, dramatic contrasts, and a fusion of European, African, and Latin American elements. Morricone avoids falling into decorative folklore, instead creating a deeply emotional score, using both traditional orchestra and choir, organ, tribal percussion, electric guitars and Hammond organ, generating a fascinating hybrid soundscape. In 1969, only a 45-rpm single was released in Italy and France with the hit “Aboliçao.” The score was not released on LP until 1971 when United Artists Records issued it in the U.S .and Japan.
