Multifaceted Maestro Alessandro Alessandroni:
composer, conductor, and arranger.
Among the various activities that he still performs to this
day, he is also a mandolinist, guitarist, fisarmonicist, sitarist,
whistler, and pianist.
Most of all, he is a musician, highly renowned in international
TV and cinema.
The Maestro has composed and conducted over 50 film scores
and documentaries, and has collaborated in the production
of many songs, achieving great success.
The activity of the Maestro seems restless, especially during
the period in which director Sergio Leone was shooting one
after the other his most famous movies, including A Fistful
Of Dollars, The Good The Bad And The Ugly, For A Few Dollars
More, Once Upon A Time In The West and A Fistful Of Dynamite.
The director gave Maestro Ennio Morricone the opportunity
to compose the scores for these movies, and in the recording
sessions, a very special trio was formed that soon after became
very famous:
Alessandro Alessandroni as whistler and guitarist, Franco
De Gemini on harmonica, and Edda Dell’Orso's vocals,
the three alternating their performances as soloists and members
of the orchestra.
Very successful in the pop music field, Maestro Alessandroni
is the founder of the Cantori Moderni choir.
He still performs publicly as well as on radio and TV throughout
Europe, and has been commended for his professionalism and
originality all over the world.
On this CD, which features previously-unreleased tracks in
addition to the contents of the Prisma Sonoro LP that was
released by Cometa in the 70s, the instruments are played
in a very peculiar way, like solo instruments, and contribute
to create a sound typical of that which earned the composer
a great degree of success.
The arrangements, the harmonic language, and the instrumental
dialogue of the various cues combine to create in the listener
romantic sensations both lovely and contemporary. |
