We proudly present on this CD the world premiere release of two symphonic scores by Renzo Rossellini which had been written for two 1950s melodramas that remained rather unknown outside of Italy and dealt with such themes as tabloid journalism, corruption and unfair jurisdiction. “Il magistrato” was an Italian-French-Spanish coproduction directed by Luigi Zampa in 1959. The basis for Rossellini’s orchestral score is a romantic love theme , graceful and nostalgic, whose melody is a close cousin to the love theme which he had written ten years earlier for the famous Ingrid Bergman movie Stromboli. As always, Rossellini’s musical language is a highly emotional one, he puts a lot of passion and feeling into all the tracks of the score so that there is a direct communication with the audience. The beauty of the melodic line, of the instrumentation and of the timbre are decisive for him.
The Italian-French coproduction “Difendo il mio amore” was made in 1956 with Martine Carol, Vittorio Gassman, Gabriele Ferzetti and Charles Vanel in the leading roles. Rossellini’s score is highly romantic and melodramatic in the best sense of the word and gives furhter proof of his tasteful elegance and his melodic lyricism. The music apperas only in a selected sequences, but always makes a strong impression there. Rossellini’s training as a classical composeris particularly evident in his handling of the longer music cues which are in most cases not formless, but have a fine self-contained structure which makes them a real delight to listen to also on their own without the images of the film.
This double CD release of the two excellent symphonic scores offers another rare opportunity to rediscover the splendid music of a fascinating composer of Italian cinema’ Golden Age. We have included a few alternate and source music tracks of the two scores in the bonus sections of each CD and added some excerpts from the original recording sessions as an interesting historical document. CD 2 closes with two suites from our two previous Renzo Rossellini CDs “Montecarlo” and “Le legioni di Cleopatra” Due to the age of this soundtrack the original mastertapes had some defects and anomalies which we tried to correct as best as possible during the mastering process. Although the sound quality in some tracks could not be improved, we have nevertheles decided to include them in this edition for their historical and musical value. -- from the label
