Quartet Records, in collaboration with Sony EMI Music Publishing Italia and GDM, presents a greatly expanded release of an Armando Trovajoli gem from a Marcello Mastroianni comedy.
Directed by Mario Monicelli in 1965, CASANOVA ’70 tells the story of UN diplomat Andrea Rossi-Colombotti, whose globetrotting adventures leave him sexually frustrated. Women throw themselves at the handsome man, but he unfortunately has performance issues: he can only get aroused if there is some sort of chase involved. The film showcases almost a dozen colorful episodes in this modern Casanova’s life as one woman decides to get him for good.
Armando Trovajoli’s score features a central Casanova theme, which changes orchestration based on the nature of his adventures ? though most cues retain a funky atmosphere and, like our hero’s performance, they are often cut short in a comedic fashion in the film. Luckily the album features the complete takes plus other highlights such as the esoteric, Asian-flavored cues for our Casanova’s psychoanalyst, as well as the cool percussion motive that sets up every “hunt” in the film.
Previous LP and CD releases only featured about 30 minutes of highlights that included tracks that combined different cues. This 73-minutes-long CD begins with a largely chronological presentation, and includes in the bonus section several edits created specifically for the LP. Produced by Claudio Fuiano with the support of the Trovajoli estate, and mastered by Chris Malone, the release includes a lavishly illustrated 12-page book with liner notes by Gergely Hubai discussing the film and the score.
Quartet RecordsがSony EMI Music Publishing ItaliaとGDMの協力のもと、アルマンド・トロヴァヨーリの逸品、マルチェロ・マストロヤンニのコメディを大幅に拡張してリリースします。
トラックリスト1965年にマリオ・モニチェリが監督した『ゴールデン・ハンター』は、国連外交官のAndrea Rossi-Colombottiが、世界を飛び回る冒険の中で性的欲求不満を募らせていく物語です。ハンサムな彼に女性たちが群がるが、残念ながら彼には演技の問題があり、ある種の追跡劇がなければ興奮できない。この映画では、この現代のカサノバの人生における約10のカラフルなエピソードが紹介され、一人の女性が彼を永久に手に入れようと決心する様子が描かれる。
アルマンド・トロヴァヨーリのスコアは、カサノバのテーマが中心で、彼の冒険の内容によってオーケストレーションが変わる。しかし、ほとんどのキューはファンキーな雰囲気を保ち、主人公のパフォーマンスのように、映画ではしばしばコミカルな方法で短くカットされる。幸いなことに、このアルバムでは、完全なテイクに加え、カサノバの精神分析医の難解なアジアテイストのキューや、映画の中ですべての“狩り”を設定するクールなパーカッション・モチーフなど、他のハイライトも収録されています。
これまでのLPやCDでは、異なるキューを組み合わせたトラックを含むハイライトが30分程度しか収録されていませんでした。この73分のCDは、ほぼストーリー順のフルスコアと、ボーナスとして、LPのために作られた編集されたバージョンが収録されています。プロデュースはクラウディオ・フィアーノ、マスタリングはクリス・マローンが担当し、ゲルゲリ・フバイが映画とスコアについて語ったライナーノーツが12ページの豪華なイラストで掲載されています。 限定350枚。
