For this World Premiere CD, total time 67:07, we used the master of the album of the time and additional material, 11 tracks, never before released, taken from the original recording session in mono. These cues never before heard add depth to this impressive score.
This OST is certainly one of the most elegant in the career of Maestro Piccioni, where romantic themes of extreme lyricism (often with the choir I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni and the virtuous solo voice of Edda Dell'Orso, here reaching high extensions) are alternated with lounge music, such as Bossa, Samba, Blues and Jazz, that make a perfect background to the sophisticated environments in which the protagonists move. From the technical point of view, we have restored the original source by using a slight reverb and by lightening up the audio. The good job we have done it had the intention to give to the listener the feeling of being right in the recording studio with Piero Piccioni on the podium conducting the orchestra. An OST of high class that will add to the archive dedicated to the great soundtracks of the Cinema.
