description
Digitmovies presents the fourth volume of the series dedicated to the original soundtracks of the Italian Peplum genre.
This CD project was made possible once again thanks to the help of our friends at C.A.M.
The music composed by Piero Piccioni for Il figlio di Spartacus (The slave, The son of Spartacus) is appearing for the first time on record, taken directly from the mono master tapes survived until today.
The movie, a kind of Made in Italy sequel of Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus, was directed in 1962 by Sergio Corbucci and starring the mythic Steve Reeves as Rando, son of Spartacus, Claudio Gora, Jacques Sernas, Gianna Maria Canale. Piero Piccioni is one of the most important names of the Italian Film Music who has scored more than 400 scores for Cinema and Television between 1952 (Il mondo le condanna) and 1998 (Incontri proibiti).
In 1961 Sergio Corbucci and Piero Piccioni had already collaborated for the Peplum Romolo e Remo (Duel of the titans) starring Steve Reeves, Gordon Scott and Virna Lisi.
For Il figlio di Spartacus Piero Piccioni wrote a heroic main theme with a classic flavour performed by French horns, strings and percussions, as introduced in Titoli (Tr. 1).
Piero Piccioni alternates aggressive themes for brass used for the fight scenes that almost seem to be precursor of some string passages from John Williams' Star Wars scores (Tr. 7, Tr. 8, Tr. 22), with other mysterious and middle orient flavoured ones like the tribal dances (Tr. 12, Tr. 15).
He evidently provided large number of pieces emphasizing the mystical side of the plot (Rando, son of the legendary hero Spartacus) including a series of eerie, suspended, almost magical themes (Tr. 3, Tr. 4, Tr. 6, Tr. 9, Tr. 10, Tr. 11, Tr. 13, Tr. 14, Tr. 16, Tr. 17, Tr. 18).
Our CD closes with three bonus tracks: alternate versions of Combattimento (Tr. 22) and Il trionfo di Rando (Tr. 23), introduced by the strings sans the brass and the stereophonic version of Danza selvaggia (Tr. 24).
 
story

Steve Reeves once again dons sandals and hoists a sword to come to the dashing rescue of the oppressed masses in this routine Roman tale of the good old days when men were unbelievably muscular, invulnerable fighting machines.
Randus (Steve Reeves) is a centurion assigned to Rome's army in Egypt in the first century B.C. who finds out, one fine day, that he is actually the son of the legendary Spartacus.
Inspired by this new identity, he decides to continue with his centurion's duties as a cover and dedicate himself to freeing the slaves that labor for the unjust and brutal Cesare Grassus (Claudio Gora).
When not overcoming the forces that keep people enslaved, Randus has time for Clodia (Gianna Maria Canale) and some relief from all that fighting.
