Digitmovies reissues three Franco Micalizzi’s famous OSTs from “The last snows of spring" (aka “L’ultima neve di primavera”, "Letze schnee des fruhlings", "La ultima nieve de primavera", "Les dernieres neiges de Printemps", "A ultima neve da Primavera"), “The tree with pink leaves” (aka “L’albero dalle foglie rosa”, “La separacion”) and “White horses of summer” (aka “Bianchi cavalli d’agosto”), in a double CD, complete edition.
THE LAST SNOW OF SPRING
THE SOUNDTRACK
This project has been realized thanks to the collaboration of M° Micalizzi, always helpful during every phase. We used original albums’ stereo masters and those of the recording sessions’ in full stereo, very well preserved in RCA archives. RCA released a LP record (TBL 1-1018) from “The last snows of spring" and a 7-inch record (OC 42) in Italy, while the album was released in Japan by KING (FML- 42). We kept all the material previously released in our premiere CD edition.
DIRECTION AND CAST
Directed by Raimondo Del Balzo in 1973 and starring Bekim Fehmiu, Agostina Belli and Renato Cestie.
PLOT
After losing his mother, young Luca cannot bear his father’s new girlfriend and his attachment to his job. The man takes him skiing but, after a fall, Luca is diagnosed with Leukemia. He will die in his father’s arms, after telling him that those had been the most beautiful days of his life.
THE TREE WITH PINK LEAVES
THE SOUNDTRACK
From “The tree with pink leaves” a LP (MDF 33/80) and a 7-inch record (MDF 056) were released in Italy by Cinevox, the last one was reissued in Spain by RCA (Cinematres NL 33218). We kept all the material previously released in our premiere CD edition.
DIRECTION AND CAST
Directed by Armando Nannuzzi in 1974 and starring John Richardson, Angela Goodwin, Renato Cestie, Marisa Merlini, Rina Morelli, Fabrizio Jovine and Carmen Scarpitta.
PLOT
Young Marco is hurt by his parents’ separation. While running away from home to avoid boarding school, he gets hit by a car. His parents are in despair, meanwhile Marco crawls under a tree with pink leaves, that symbolizes the lack of affection, where he will die.
WHITE HORSES OF SUMMER
THE SOUNDTRACK
From “White horses of summer” we found a 12 tracks selection album montage, prepared for SP promo series of RCA back in 1975 but never released. RCA only issued a 7-inch record to which we then added 7 more tracks. We kept all the material previously released in our premiere CD edition. With a running time of 140 minutes and 52 tracks, Franco Micalizzi’s music is pure joy for the ears, thanks to lots of orchestral material that alternates romantic themes with melancholic and dramatic ones and again with happy and danceable ones. Lounge and latino tracks, with wonderful solists like Oscar Valdambrini to the flugelhorn, Vincenzo Restuccia to the drums, Mario Gangi to the guitar, vocal performances by Irio De Paula, Giovanna Marinuzzi Italian Cinema’s golden uvula Edda Dell’Orso. Born after a long and passionate work, this double CD has been able to preserve three valuable scores from Italian Silver Age. Sincere homage to M° Franco Micalizzi’s Music for Cinema.
DIRECTION AND CAST
Directed by Raimondo Del Balzo in 1975 and starring Frederick Stafford, Jean Seberg, Renato Cestie, Antonino Faa di Bruno, Alberto Terracina, Ciccio Ingrassia.
PLOT
An american couple in a crisis decides to take little Bunny on a trip to Italy. Loneliness and sadness make Bunny’s life bitter, whose only friends are his dog Clipper and Peppino, young servant at the hotel where his is staying with his family. One day Bunny falls off a cliff, badly wounding himself. This tragic incident will reunite his parents.

フランコ・ミカリッツィの3つの有名なOSTを復刻！「メリーゴーランド」、「幸せの咲く樹」、「星空の神話」の完全版を収録。
トラックリストメリーゴーランド
このプロジェクトは、あらゆる局面でいつも助けてくれるミカリッツィの協力のおかげで実現した。オリジナル・アルバムのステレオ・マスターと、RCAアーカイブに非常によく保存されているレコーディング・セッションのフル・ステレオ・マスターを使用した。RCAは『メリーゴーランド』のLPレコード（TBL 1-1018）と7インチレコード（OC 42）をイタリアでリリースし、アルバムはKINGから日本でリリースされた（FML- 42）。初回CD版でリリースされたすべての音源を収録しています。

1973年ライモンド・デル・バルツォ監督、ベキム・フェミウ、アゴスティーナ・ベッリ、レナート・チェスティエ出演。
あらすじ
母を亡くした幼いルカは、父の新しい恋人と仕事への執着に耐えられない。父に連れられてスキーに行くが、転倒して白血病と診断される。人生で最も美しい日々だったと父に語った後、父の腕の中で息を引き取る。
幸せの咲く樹
「幸せの咲く樹」"のLP盤（MDF 33/80）と7インチ盤（MDF 056）はイタリアでシネヴォックスからリリースされ、最後の1枚はスペインでRCAから再発された（Cinematres NL 33218）。初回CD版で過去にリリースされたすべての音源を収録。

星空の神話
『星空の神話』から、1975年にRCAのSPプロモ・シリーズ用に用意されたものの、未発売の12曲入りセレクション・アルバムのモンタージュを発見。RCAは7インチ・レコードしか発行しておらず、そこにさらに7曲を追加した。初CD化にあたり、過去にリリースされたすべての音源を収録。演奏時間140分、収録曲数52曲のフランコ・ミカリッツィの音楽は、ロマンティックなテーマとメランコリックでドラマチックなテーマ、そしてハッピーでダンサブルなテーマが交互にやってくる、たくさんのオーケストラ曲のおかげで、耳に純粋な喜びを与えてくれる。フリューゲルホルンのオスカー・ヴァルダムブリーニ、ドラムのヴィンチェンツォ・レストゥッチャ、ギターのマリオ・ガンギ、ヴォーカルのイリオ・デ・パウラ、ジョヴァンナ・マリヌッツィ、イタリア映画の黄金ウヴラ、エッダ・デッロルソといった素晴らしいソリストたちによるラウンジやラテン系の曲もある。この2枚組CDは、長きにわたる情熱的な作業の末に誕生し、イタリア銀幕時代の貴重な3つの楽譜を保存することができた。フランコ・ミカリッツィの映画音楽への心からのオマージュ。
