CAMILLE 2000 is Piccioni at his finest. Camille was my gateway drug to all things Piccioni. No Piccioni collection is complete without it. I enjoy the movie a lot as well.

Antonioni, Bolognini & Piccioni, has anybody heard this? No - never heard the LP program and never saw the film. I saw the film on German TV about 20 years ago, but nowadays it seems to have become quite a rarity. I also have the old RCA LP. Piccioni's TRE VOLTI music there is really lush, lovely and elegant, sometimes a bit with an easy listening/jazz flavour, but often highly romantic and almost in the vein of MORE THAN A MIRACLE. Particularly beautiful and enchanting are for example the tracks "Gondola" (track 4) and "Amanti celebri" (track 8) which have been composed with great feeling. I think that ToneRow will only like a few of the tracks, above all those which in parts are even a bit reminiscent of SENILITA' with their mysterious as well as melancholic/nostalgic flair. These crop up at the end of the album program as track 11 and 12 ("Lost Life" and "Latin Lover"). By the way, track 11 is also a free adaptation of the dramatic theme from LA TEMPESTA. If you know the TEMPESTA score, you will therefore immmediately recognize the solemn, descending melody. And track 12 is Piccioni in his finest impressionstic mode with subdued strings and delicate flutes which give the main theme a totally new quality not heard before on the album in such a charming way.

It is actually very surprising to see this RCA LP from a Dino De Laurentiis production. Any opinion from Stefan? Is there hope for more similar releases? The rights of I TRE VOLTI do indeed belong to Radiofilmusica/De Laurentiis, not to RCA. So some quite interesting developments are going on at the moment which certainly also have to do with the reactivation of the Legend CD label which has been dormant since 2011. That's really all I can say here on this board at the moment. But stay tuned!

Impressions on the cover. At last I can have a pressed CD edition. Thank goodness for Quartet. It seems a similar quantity of music time to the scarce GDM publication. Highly recommended? There's no swirling vortex or whirlpool in the movie as the artwork depicts, but as a Piero Piccioni listening experience - yes! - highly recommended.
