CONTRONATURA (THE UNNATURALS)

Carlo Savina (August 2, 1919, Turin- June 23, 2002, Rome) is an epic name in worldwide film music. He is a prolific composer as well as a conductor for many of his celebrated colleagues such as Rota, Rozsa , Sarde, and Lavagnino. For “The Unnaturals” he wrote and directed a dramatic OST for large orchestra and saxophone interventions, in which a Requiem religious theme emerges. From the tapes of the recording session we used every note recorded in mono of the dramatic score, and we were also able to retrieve all the danceable 1920s melodies recorded in full stereo (we have to mention that in 1969 an easy listening album in stereo was planned, and then apparently deleted). Our CD lasting 44:39 minutes, recovers and preserves an excellent OST by Maestro Savina, from one of the best films by Antonio Margheriti (one of the director’s Form: CD favorites). --- from the label.
