I really like this thread and I admit that it made me try to figure how many Savina titles I do have and how many I still miss. At this moment my collection is a bit scattered but I tried to put them all together and I think I have 21 titles at this moment:



I also still miss several western scores such as I Senza Dio, I Tre del Colorado or Anche nel West C'era una Volta il Dio. I have La Colt e Mia Legge and while it has a memorable theme it's also more in the classic western sound. I would surely pick Testa o Croce earlier (which, when eliminating the mentioned saloon tracks, is really good).

I recently bought Veneri al Sole/Veneri in Collegio from Intermezzo Media (it's on sale over there) and I concur with wayoutwest - Veneri al Sole is very nice and lovely 60's score (the second score is less interesting in my opinion), although I would probably not recommend this as a priority. Regarding the Beat two-fer of Ragazza Tutta Nuda/L'Occhio del Ragno, I am very fond of this CD and myself I by far prefer the second score, which has some of my favorite 60's lounge tracks. A Ghentar Si Muore Facile is also great, the song is in the 007 vein but the whole score is much more complex than a usual Bond score. The trademark organ sound is present throughout the score and I love that.

There indeed seem to be no samples from L'Orchestra Rossa so I uploaded one track here (hope it's not violating any policy):
https://soundcloud.com/user125567769/02orchestrarossa
As suggested by wayoutwest's link, it's still available from Rosebud (the Saimel label store) and it's certainly worth getting in my opinion.

I still consider Carlo Rustichelli as my favorite Italian composer but I am happy to be also becoming more and more familiar with Carlo Savina's music thanks to these threads and our favorite labels' dedicated work. I hope to receive Hey Amigo...You're Dead next week and will post my thoughts as soon as I have them smile

Hi, Dorian.

How is SIMON BOLIVAR?

This was one of the Savina soundtracks which received an LP release at the time.

Hi, Dorian.

The CAM CD replicates the original LP of Simon BolĂ­var. There are some good atmospheric and suspenseful tracks, a memorable beautiful love theme (both in instrumental rendition and with the etheric female voice of Elaisa Romero, obviously a relative of the co-composer Aldemaro Romero) and some march tracks with a slight South-American feel (overall the score is not much influenced by the location of the story). I can imagine this might sound better in terms of the sound quality if it got remastered today.

By the way it was the first Savina score I bought many years ago smile

Thanks for that Upload Dorian think I will add that title to a future order.

You are missing a couple of gems
L'uomo Che Ride
Nel Buio Del Terrore

I agree with you about the second score Veneri In Collegio track 15 and 17 are the only really great ones on the second score.

One of my favorite westerns by Savina is Joko Invoca Dio ...E Muori it is pretty moody have not seen the film much of it feels like it would suit night time scenes.

I am hoping some insight to THE PERFECT CRIME will crop up, I can't find samples at SAE.

Not to derail my own thread on this Western, but I'll offer a few words on Savina's 1978 INDAGINE.

I recommend it. I bought it blind without any soundsamples merely because Intrada has it in stock and my SAE wishlist is VERY large. smile

This sounds to me rather like an early '70s British thriller updated with disco beats for '78.
If one loves Lalo Schifrin's soundtracks from the '70s (like HARRY IN YOUR POCKET), then this Savina should become a high priority on one's wish list.


I found a YouTube of track #3 of INDAGINE SU UN DELITTO PERFETTO:

I recon this is how it went down, the dual between Savina and Piccioni over YOUR DEAD and DESERTER. The new man in town is Savina, Piccioni fled.

And so he says ... Hey, hey amigo, you're dead ...

Fantastic find TR. Goes straight to Savina's top ranks in my mind.

Apparently so, or is it just a warning?


They will be found
He will hunt them down
And no one will escape his evil wrath

Hey!

Hey amigo

Your dead!


I don't much of anything about this album. I'm okay with the picture only booklet, very colourful.

Hi, Dorian.

Would you be receptive enough to create a thread here @ FSM on a Carlo Rustichelli discography?
Since you say Rustichelli is your favorite, you might be ideally suited to offer input on all the Rustichelli albums you own and perhaps even rank them in order of preference?
Speaking for myself and some other FSM members, we'd be interested in reading a buyers' guide (of sorts) so we could prioritize future purchases of Carlo R.'s music according to our various preferences.

I must admit that I've never truly gotten 'into' the Rustichelli soundtracks that I acquired sporadically since about 2005. I have yet to encounter a Rustichelli album which entrances me as a listener.

I am open to some CR suggestions and I already have a plan to get ROSMUNDA E ALBOINO in the near future because I don't own any Rustichelli peplum and this score was conducted by Carlo Savina (which makes ROSMUNDA the highest CR on my want list).

It really depends on the style your are looking for. From what I know about other members here, I think most of you might want to look for the Peplums, which are some of the best.

Since Rustichelli did not conduct his own works, I find his discography to be a bit hit and miss.

My favorites are Don camillo e i giovani d'oggi (1972) and Detenuto in attesa di giudizio (1971). Then the peplums are probably my favorite.

I'm still sitting on Piccioni's Devil's Backbone as my number one euro, Ehe Amigo is the closest rival.

Any one willing to challenge that?

Hi, Ag^Janus.

Maybe 'slint' can offer suggestions. I'm at a loss since the Euro Western is not a favorite category with me.

I don't wish to recommend Ennio Morricone because Morricone and Nicolai seem to dominate in this area.

Other composers I simply haven't gotten into include Carlo Rustichelli and Francesco de Masi.

My most recent surprise in the Euro Western section is A.F. Lavagnino's "Oggi A Me ... Domani A Te!".
Still, I wouldn't recommend this title as it is not likely to compete with Piccioni's "The Deserter".
That Lavagnino title, though, has some very innovative sounds that would not be out of place in a Jerry Goldsmith-scored Western. One track (#19) is percussion only.

If you like Morricone westerns, then I think you should try "La Resa Dei Conti" ("The Big Gundown"), but even this might not challenge your current faves.

Here's SAE's list on Italian Westerns:
