Kronos Records is proud to present for the first time
ever on CD two musical gems from the late Maestro Piero Piccioni:
Temptation and La Figlia Del Capitano.
The music on Temptation is beautiful, chilled and sensual.
The ensemble plays a lovely blend of jazz and lounge with
hints of bossa that make this a very recognizable Piccioni
work, an easy listening, chill score for the 1968 film directed
by Lamberto Benvenuti and starring Mark Damon and Stefania
Careddu.
La Figlia Del Capitano was a TV adaptation of Puskin's
"Kapitanskaya Dochka", directed by Leonardo Cortese
and starring Amedeo Nazzari, Umberto Orsini and Lucilla Morlacchi
shows us a more dramatic facade to Piccioni's ample
composing skills.
This score for orchestra is solemn, romantic and very evocative
of the high period of classic Italian drama. |
