The opening track of LA DECIMA VITIMA from the Juno download (A Place To Hide Take 2) contains an awesome sax duet which seems to be harmalodic? Any familiar with this Ornette Coleman method?

Goodness, COLPO ROVENTE is alarming! I'm not comfortable with this kind outburst. Maybe I need a little time to find the Piccioni within.

I recently listened to THE 10TH VICTIM on vinyl and cd. It's disappointing compared to the lossless download version. Both in sound quality, album layout and missing bonus cues. For those who are considering getting this work.


I've never owned the soundtrack to COLPO REVENTE. I think it may have been out of print by the time my interest in Piccioni grew. Perhaps my mind simply passed over this title because I had (and still have to an extent) tenuous appreciation for non-dramatic music accompanying erotica - much of it sounds like elevator musak (such as APPASIONATA and LE ALTRE).
I love Pierre Jansen's LES BICHES and this is my preference for the type of music for love triangles and lesbians.

I think you will anger OnyaBirri for saying you don't care for the initial LP program from THE TENTH VICTIM. smile


I hope I'm not stepping on the toes of OnyaBirri and wayoutwest too hard. big grin I believe 10th VICTIM on vinyl will goe some ways to easing the chasm found between the download and CD/VINYL versions.

I enjoy COLPO REVENTE similarly to SCACCO ALLA REGINA, albeit REVENTE is a different beast.

If LE ALTRE is the elevator musak, I'll take the elevator.

Ag have you managed to get a copy of Camille 2000 I still rate it as one of the very very best if you where just at that party in the lobby listening to Colpo Revenge then after you had got into the elevator to retire up to your room enjoying Le Altre on the way. Just keep on going until you get to the penthouse Camille 2000 is another level which has no equal.

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.

For some reason Camille 2000 is one without so much grooves and keyboards (I mean by Piccioni's standards) and with a bit too much saxophone to be in my top ten, although it is growing on me. Certainly it is a rich album with many themes.

On second thoughts the penthouse could be risky. Scandalous goings on etc. I ought to visit the parlour gallery, far away from the loose milieu.

I've been listening to THE BOY JESUS as it has recently presented. Gentle, reflective, humble, zen like ... I generally enjoy the late works of artists immensely, after all the turbulence and creative flurries of earlier years to the ultimate maturity of the artist, a final epiphany.

FRATELLO MARE is in transit. I'm not sure anyone has thought of BEAT's "surprise", could it be QUO VADIS as it hasn't been on CD yet?

A boy called Jesus is something else an amazing score

Still need to order Fratello I need to get another order in for a selection of titles maybe the mystery title will be revealed soon I'm pretty sure I know what it will be I was privy to some information but my lips are sealed. wink

I can't wait to get that mystery title wink

I agree Piccioni has excelled so many times and in so many areas Camille 2000 is extra special I find it really intense there is no let up in the pace of pleasure that it induces.

I'm pretty certain that mystery title is going to be the score for Christ Stopped At Eboli.

I'm listening now 'Piero Piccioni - More Than A Miracle - Prince Rodrigo' (1967). It is very nice

Oh no, Alberto Sordi!

From the technical point of view, we have restored the original source by using a slight reverb and by lightening up the audio. hmmm.

Antonioni, Bolognini & Piccioni, has anybody heard this?

If remember correctly, this is one of TR's favourite covers.

No - never heard the LP program and never saw the film.



Very interesting that Legend has started again to release RCA material.
The cover is also interesting in that the photo is of an actual princess.

Superb news about I TRE VOLTI a very chilled out score from what I remember hearing on the clips I found on YouTube really looking forward to this one.

Isn't this the movie that got banned after she became a princess all copies where bought up and destroyed by the king only a museum or somebody else had the only remaining copy left I always wondered if the score had survived.

Very good news, even though I have the LP. It is mostly romantic music with a bit of lounge like other Sordi soundtracks, but it remains very much orchestral.

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?

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.

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!

Io la conoscevo bene is half price at SAE if anybody is interested. It's a bouncy lounge exploration, I would say a bit higher up than the usual masterly work from MÂș Piccioni.

Quartet has a new release for us :

www.quartetrecords.com/the-light-at-the-edge-of-the-world.html



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.
