| description |
L'Impero Del Sole was directed in 1956 by Enrico
Gras and Mario Craveri, for whom Lavagnino had already before
set to music the films Magia Verde (1953) and Continente Perduto,
and is a visually impressive documentary movie about Peru and
its exotic scenery.
Starting from the dead and ruin cities of the Incas, the cinematic
journey leads from the lake Titicaca to the carnival of the
Indios in the Andes.
With an adventurous little train we get into the primitive Amazon
territory, which is strongly contrasted with the urban atmosphere
of the capital Lima.
After short stays with the black Guanero workers and the cotton
pickers along the coast, the cinematic trip ends with an unusual
bullfight from which the condor as symbolic figure of the empire
of the sun comes off triumphantly.
The expeditionary narrative is framed by the romance of the
two characters Juana and Pedro which with wooing, marriage and
birth stands as a metaphor for life eternally renewing itself.
Lavagnino has certainly written one of his most beautifully
sounding, most sensual and also thematically richest works
for L'Impero Del Sole.
The melodic basis is established through the enchanting and
charming main theme Canzone Di Lima (by the way also whistled
by the composer himself in tracks 1 and 4) and the elegant
love theme for Juana and Pedro, from which a gorgeous music
for orchestra and choir with a duration of more than 70 minutes
unfolds itself before the listener, a music which is colourfully
orchestrated and which besides the exotic sound palette and
the exciting rhythms also allows sufficient space for glowing
romanticism.
Particularly typical of Lavagnino's style are the high string
registers, the harp glissandi which crop up in many places,
the extensive use of the choir, for this score Lavagnino for
the first time had at his disposal the choral ensemble of
choir director Franco Potenza, with whom he became friends
very soon, as well as the incorporation of exotic instruments
and unusual sound combinations (as for example in the two
tracks The Cemetery Of The Birds and The Felling Of The Forest).
The compositional density and the fine-tuning are even more
remarkable if one bears in mind that Lavagnino had composed
and orchestrated the score within a period of just 11 days.
Until now only about 20 minutes of the original recording
of L'Impero Del Sole have been available on a double EP which
had been published in Italy as well as in France at the film's
release date in 1956.
Therefore on this CD the complete score with 73 minutes, which
Lavagnino had composed for the film, can now be heard for
the first time.
