GDM music presents on CD (with a total duration of 67: 17) two rare soundtracks of M° Armando Trovaioli. "Casanova '70 " directed in 1965 by Mario Monicelli and starring Marcello Mastroianni, Virna Lisi, Marisa Mell,Michèle Mercier, Enrico Maria Salerno,Liana Orfei,Guido Alberti,Beba Loncar,Moira Orfei,Margaret Lee,Rosemary Dexter and famous director Marco Ferreri in the role of a count. " Homo eroticus " directed by Marco Vicarioin 1971, a kind of re-make of "Casanova'70" regarding to characters and situations, starring a very good Lando Buzzanca surrounded by many women such as Rossana Podestà, Sylva Koscina, Ira von Fürstenberg, Adriana Asti, Femi Benussi, Evi Marandi, Angela Luce. In both the movies the male protagonist is challenged by the feminine universe with all the romantic adventures (and misadventures) that'll follow. This CD has been realized under the supervision of the same composer, thanks to the fact that only recently the complete mono master tapes of "Casanova'70" have been found. At that time a 33 rpm album was issued on Epic label (NL 26195) assembled somewhat strange and containing a few selected tracks from Armando Trovajoli's OSTs of "Casanova '70 " and " Marriage Italian Style " and tracks from "Darling" of John Dankworth. More recently in Japan a CD was issued with the same material from "Casanova '70", but mastered from vinyl. Our CD contains the music selected from the original mono master tapes. The OST of "Casanova '70", an interesting mix of Baroque and Modern where the 18th century harpsichord is accompanied by jazz and blues sonorities, is based on a central main theme with variations performed by the Choir of I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni and exceptional soloists, such as Dino Piana playing trombone and the same M° Trovaioli playing the harpsichord. About "Homo eroticus", for this CD we have used the stereo master tapes of the original album issued by RCA in 1971 (OLS 7), but the full recording session tapes were never found. For the first time this OST appears on CD in Italy and in the rest of the world (although already re-issued in Japan in 1994 on the un- findable CD RCA / BMG - Victor BVCP 1041). Armando Trovaioli has written a brilliant and very romantic score, with Lounge Style arrangements, enriched with typically Sicilian atmospheres given by the use of the marranzano (Jewish harp), in addition to the unique voice performance of Edda. De- luxe eight full colour pages booklet filled with rare memorabilia, posters and infos on the movies and their OST.
