Happy Friday, Scott --
I hope you won't mind that this not a comment but a question, asked because you always seem to know what's in the works. By any chance, do you happen to know if Quartet will be releasing any more expanded Rota/Fellini scores? LA DOLCE VITA and 8 1/2 were dreams come true, and I'm still dreaming of GIULIETTA DEGLI SPIRITI...

Sorry, I have no info on more Rota (and the rare times I have info on upcoming releases I am expressly forbidden to let anyone know anyway. The Don Is Dead was a total surprise to me, and I know the Intrada gang pretty well).
I listened to those expanded Rotas for day-job-related reasons and they were terrific. I don't know if there's any unreleased music from my favorite Rota, Death on the Nile, but I would love to have more of that one.

I haven't listened to NILE for a long time, but back in the day it helped me hook my late mother on Maestrota. High time I gave it a fresh listen, now that I know it's your favorite work by one of my (and Mom's) favorite composers. But from what you say, I should watch the movie again so I can hear the whole Magilla.

I suspect there is little if anything missing from the Nile LP/CD. Like Murder on the Orient Express, it's a pretty talky film with not a huge amount of room for scoring, but it was the first Rota film I ever saw and still my favorite, and a wonderful score (though at least one cue is a reworking of one of his Fellini pieces -- from The Clowns, possibly?).
I remember how thrilled I was when the soundtrack LP popped up, completely unannounced, at a San Francisco record shop. (I had similar experiences with The Great Train Robbery and Heavy Metal, neither of which I knew had score LPs due when they suddenly showed up in stores).

Because I'm still adding more than 300 items to that database, spanning June 3 (Dennis McCarthy records his score for the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode “The Jem’Hadar” (1994)) to December 31 (Antonio Diaz Conde died (1976)), and no one pays me to do this crap.
You're welcome.
