description
This project is possible thanks to the generous assistance of the CAM Archives, and Volume One is dedicated to the scores written by composer Roberto Nicolosi for Bava's La maschera del demonio (Black Sunday) and La ragazza che sapeva troppo (Evil Eye).
Until now, not a single note of these scores has been available on record, although Black Sunday's alternate score by Les Baxter, commissioned for the American market, appeared on USA CD from Bay Cities.
For this premiere CD release, we were free to use everything that survived on the master tapes in the CAM vaults.
M° Nicolosi has written orchestral music with dramatically explosive, recurrent passages and very dark atmospheres supplied by strings, brass and organ.
For La ragazza che sapeva troppo, he used a similar approach, writing dissonant contemporary music that works perfectly for describing all the tension and the paranoia felt by the young American tourist (Letícia Román) lost in the eternal mysteries of Rome.
M° Nicolosi punctuates this gloomy atmosphere with some lounge style jazz music.
 
story

la Maschera del demonio
Generally considered to be the foremost example of Italian Gothic horror, this darkly atmospheric black-and-white chiller put director Mario Bava on the international map and made the bewitching Barbara Steele a star.
Steele plays Princess Asa, a high priestess of Satan who is gruesomely executed in 1600s Moldavia by having a spiked mask hammered into her face.
Before she dies, Asa vows revenge on the family who killed her and returns from the grave two centuries later to keep her promise.
In a striking resurrection scene replete with bats, scorpions and fog, Asa rises from the tomb to claim her bloody vengeance.
With vampires, bubbling flesh, dank crypts, undead servants and torch-bearing mobs, the plot is a little ripe, but the visuals are Bava's primary consideration.
The atmosphere is so heavy and the imagery so dense that the film becomes nearly too rich in texture, but the sheer, ghastly beauty of it all is entrancing.
Although this was only the second of Bava's twenty-six films as director, it is undoubtedly his best and the one upon which most of his considerable reputation rests.

Cast:
Andrea Checchi, Arturo Dominici, Ivo Garrani, Barbara Steele, John Richardson, Clara Bindi, Enrico Olivieri, Mario Passante

Director:
Mario Bava


la Ragazza che sapeva troppo
Generally considered the first real giallo film, Mario Bava's stylish thriller stars Leticia Roman as Nora, who travels to Rome to visit her sick aunt.
The aunt dies that night, and Nora ends up witnessing a murder.
The police and kindly Dr. Bassi (John Saxon) don't believe her, since there is no body, so she goes to stay with her aunt's friends, the Cravens.
Along the way, there are several more murders tied to a decade-long string of killings of victims chosen in alphabetical order by surname.
The surprising ending is worth staying around for, as is an amusing supporting performance by Valentina Cortese.
Bava would go on to further codify many of the giallo genre's conventions in Sei Donne per l'Assassino the following year.

Cast:
Valentina Cortese, Gianni di Benedetto, Leticia Roman, John Saxon, Dante Di Paolo

Director:
Mario Bava
