For the first time ever, the whole Piero Umiliani’s production on his Liuto record label is collected in a unique 19-CD sensational box set!
The boxset includes a set of 18 albums for a total of 19 CDs (the last one in the series is a double CD) enclosed in faithful reproductions of the original sleeves, plus a 72-page booklet with rare photos, two essays about Umiliani and his music production written by Maurizio Corbella and Niccolo Galliano, and a detailed discography and full tracklist section. This release has been fully approved by the Umiliani family.
Without Piero Umiliani’s contribution, Italian jazz, film music and library music would lack some of the key identifying features we associate them with today, thanks to his ability to carve out a distinctive sound identity from his personal craft, the studio he built and the trust he gained from his collaborators. This identity for many simply encapsulates the cipher of an unrepeated age of Italian popular music.
Without Piero Umiliani’s contribution, Italian jazz, film music and library music would lack some of the key identifying features we associate them with today, thanks to his ability to carve out a distinctive sound identity from his personal craft, the studio he built and the trust he gained from his collaborators. This identity for many simply encapsulates the cipher of an unrepeated age of Italian popular music. Umiliani’s ability to reinvent the concept of musicianship in the fast-moving society of his time made him a modern musician in the most complete sense of the term, by putting himself in charge of every facet of his work, from the conception to the production, the recording, the publishing and even the packaging of his own music.
In less than two decades, Umiliani released almost 80 records on the three labels he established between the mid-1960s and the early 1970s: Omicron, Liuto, and Sound Work Shop, besides all the music he was simultaneously composing for movie productions, licensed and published by Italian major companies.
This box set allows us to fully appreciate this little-known side of Piero Umiliani in an unprecedented way: his ability to seamlessly intertwine his musical creativity with his vision as a producer and publisher emerges clearly from this series as a unique feature of this composer. This corpus altogether constitutes a remarkable contribution to the so-called Italian sound of the 1970s, covering areas such as library music and film music and a plethora of genres such as jazz, funk, psychedelia, prog, easy listening, electronic music and much more!

ピエロ・ウミリアーニが自身のリウト・レコード・レーベルで発表した全作品が、史上初めて19枚組のセンセーショナルなボックス・セットに収録!限定盤。
トラックリストこのボックスセットには、オリジナル・ジャケットを忠実に再現した計19枚組のアルバム18枚(シリーズ最後の1枚は2枚組CD)が含まれ、さらに、貴重な写真、マウリツィオ・コルベッラとニコロ・ガリアーノによるウミリアーニと彼の音楽制作についての2つのエッセイ、詳細なディスコグラフィーと全トラックリスト・セクションが掲載された72ページのブックレットが付属する。このリリースは、ウミリアーニ・ファミリーの全面的な承認を得ています。
ピエロ・ウミリアーニの貢献がなければ、イタリアン・ジャズ、映画音楽、ライブラリー・ミュージックは、今日、私たちが連想するような重要な特徴を欠いていただろう。それは、彼の個人的な技術、彼が築いたスタジオ、協力者から得た信頼から、独特のサウンド・アイデンティティを切り開く能力のおかげである。このアイデンティティは、多くの人々にとって、イタリアのポピュラー音楽が繰り返されることのなかった時代の暗号を単純に封じ込めたものである。ウミリアーニは、時代の流れが速い社会の中で音楽家としての概念を刷新する能力を持ち、構想から制作、レコーディング、出版、さらには自身の音楽のパッケージングに至るまで、作品のあらゆる面を自ら担当することで、最も完全な意味での現代音楽家となった。
ウミリアーニは、1960年代半ばから1970年代初頭にかけて設立した3つのレーベルから、20年足らずの間に80枚近いレコードをリリースしました。オミクロン、リウート、サウンド・ワーク・ショップの3つのレーベルから80枚近いレコードをリリースし、同時に映画音楽の作曲も手がけ、イタリアの大手企業からライセンスを得て出版しました。
このボックス・セットによって、ピエロ・ウミリアーニのあまり知られていない一面を、かつてない方法で存分に堪能することができる。音楽的創造性と、プロデューサーやパブリッシャーとしてのヴィジョンをシームレスに絡ませる彼の能力は、この作曲家のユニークな特徴として、このシリーズからはっきりと浮かび上がってくる。ライブラリー・ミュージックや映画音楽、ジャズ、ファンク、サイケデリア、プログレ、イージーリスニング、エレクトロニック・ミュージックなど、さまざまなジャンルを網羅したこの作品群は、1970年代のいわゆるイタリアン・サウンドに多大な貢献をしています!(機械翻訳)
