Digitmovies, in collaboration with Gruppo Sugar, issues on double CD set the complete OST by Angelo F. Lavagnino for the dramatic movie“La Maja desnuda” (aka “The naked Maja”) directed in 1958 by Henry Koster and Mario Russo and starring Ava Gardner, Anthony Franciosa, Gino Cervi, Amedeo Nazzari, Lea Padovani, Massimo Serato. After witnessing the passing of a young witch who is led to the stake, the Duchess of Alba (Gardner) went with some friends at a tavern where you can dance and sing. Here the noble lady meets Francisco Goya (Franciosa), a young painter from passionate temperament, which takes up the defense of the Duchess, insulted by a drunk customer, and in the incident he is wounded. Between the two young ones a romantic relationship develops, born of mutual sympathy, which later is truncated as a result of misunderstandings. Goya became court painter, enjoying the friendship of King Charles IV (Cervi), while the Duchess, fallen out of favor with the queen, is sent into exile by the evil prime minister Godoy (Nazzari). But Goya cannot resist away from the woman he loves and reaches despite the ban. The Duchess, to prevent Godoy also hurts the artist, wants to move away from him and to the intent, she pretends to betray him. The painter, desperate, almost insane, runs away and became seriously ill. When the betrayal of Godoy opens the doors of Spain to Napoleon's army, the people rises and, fighting desperately, contends invader every corner of their soil. The Duchess sits at the head of the revolutionaries, but Godoy, worried about her political influence, makes her poisoned. Francisco Goya, realizing that the beloved woman sacrificed herself and her feelings to her salvation, he runs to her and arrives just in time to pick up her last words of love. At the time, in Italy, a vinyl album on the label Fonit Cetra (LP.281) was released and with partially different selections on the United Artists LP (UAS 5031) issued in America that, despite did feature the writing stereo on the sleeve was absolutely in mono. Only in 1997 C.A.M. issued a CD (CAM 493270-2) containing 23 selections (43:17). For our double CD project we had access to master tapes in mono of the original recording session with conducting of Carlo Savina. In addition to the material of the previous CD (now taken from first generation master tapes without using the Denoiser and dolby surround) that have sequenced with the film music sequence with the ''finale'' rightly at the end of the tracks list, we have discovered fabulous inedit material (64:42); as movie versions, alternate takes, the beautiful song ''Embrujado'' and even the short theme for the Titanus emblem, before the ''Titoli''. In about 108 total minutes of orchestral OST, the listener can really reallize the greatness of Angelo Francesco Lavagnino who, for this film, has created one of the most intense love themes of his long career and that the composer alternates with fanfares, court music, Spanish dance both instrumentals and vocals, atmospheres of tension and mystery. In short, a true masterpiece that with relentless passion we wanted to pay homage due to a proper digital remastering and a de-luxe digipack graphic. ---レーベルより

アメリカとイタリア合作のかたちの作品で、「再会(1958)」「聖衣」のヘンリー・コスター監督により、近世スペインの画家ゴヤの作品“裸のマヤ”をめぐるロマンが描かれた作品。イタリア側からもマリオ・ルッソが監督して加わっている。音楽をフランチェスコ・ラヴァニーノで、既発売のサントラ・アルバム収録曲（第１世代マスターテープからリマスター収録）と今回初リリースとなるフィルムバージョンのフルスコア（別バージョンも収録）をCD２枚に収録したデラックス・エディション。デジパック仕様。
トラックリスト18世紀末、マドリッドはゴドイ宰相の圧政下にあった。サラゴサの田舎から出て来た画家志望のゴヤ(アンソニー・フランシオサ)は、貧民街にある居酒屋に泊り、そこでアルバ女公(エヴァ・ガードナー)と知り合う機会を掴んだ。ある日、アルバ女公はコヤを招待したが、彼は教会の壁画を描くので欠席した。このことがアルバを侮辱することになった。教会を訪れたカルロス4世とマリア・ルイザ女王は、ゴヤの新しい壁画をみ、宮廷画家の1人に加えるよう勧めた。宮廷画家になったゴヤは、貴族の頽廃した風潮に怒りを感じながら、ひたすら王家の肖像を描いていた。カーニバルがきた。ゴヤはそこでマヤの仮面をつけたアルバと出会った。2人は我を忘れて楽しんだ。もはや2人は愛し合っていることを覚った。家へ帰ったアルバは女王から厳罰に附すよう命ぜられた。それはカーニバルの夜“ゴドイを倒せ”という騒ぎに関係したと見られたからだった。翌日、ゴヤはアルバがマドリッドから去ったことを知って跡を追った。そしてゴヤはアルバをモデルに楽しい平穏な生活を続けた。しかし、それも間もなく終りをつげた。ゴドイはナポレオンの侵入する計画を知らせるため、アルバの所に現われた。彼の策略はフランスにスペインを売ることだった。アルバに協力を求めたが彼女に拒否されたゴドイは、ゴヤを宗教裁判にかけると脅した。アルバはゴヤをマドリッドに帰すため、ゴヤを嫌いだと芝居した。失望したゴヤはマドリッドに帰ると床についた。再びマドリッドに帰ったアルバは、女王にゴヤの宮廷復帰を願ったが、ゴドイは怒って彼女に死を命じた。やがてスペインはナポレオンに占領された。傷心のゴヤはある日、アルバが病気になり死の近いのを聞いた。ゴヤはアルバの宮殿を訪れた。彼女はゴヤに、楽しかった時に描かせた“マヤ像”を寝室まで運ばせ、彼の腕に抱かれながら冷くなっていった。1959年米。
