Digitmovies presents for the first time on
CD the complete OST in full stereo by Franco Micalizzi for
the war movie Il Grande Attacco directed by Umberto Lenzi
and starring an all-star cast:
Giuliano Gemma, Henry Fonda, John Huston, Samantha Eggar,
Stacy Keach, Helmut Berger, Edwige Fenech.
During the Olympic games of 1936 delegates from different
countries meet in Germany and their fates will cross again
during World War II:
The German officer Roland, General Foster, an Irish professor,
another German.
At the end they all will die and only one American returns
home to his wife and children.
The scenario of war and the various human affairs are highlighted
by the brilliant orchestral OST by Franco Micalizzi which
Cinevox had issued on a vinyl album at the time of the film's
release.
For this CD we have had access to the stereo master tapes
of the original session that allowed us to discover new material
completely restored and digitally remastered with the full
approval of the author.
The Maestro Micalizzi has composed a heroic march as main
theme which gets alternated with dramatic themes and mysterious
music commenting on the military actions.
The harsh atmosphere of war is broken by the song Winter In
Berlin performed by the beautiful voice of Maggie Mac Neal.
A proper rescue and preservation for the delight of all fans
of the legendary Umberto Lenzi and Franco Micalizzi. |
