Veröffentlichung Quartet Records: THE POPE OF GREENWICH VILLAGE (Dave Grusin) & DUE CUORI, UNA CAPPELLA (Stelvio Cipriani)

[Souchak]

The Pope of Greenwich Village

Dave Grusin

World premiere release of the dynamic, emotional score by Dave Grusin for the Stuart Rosenberg cult mafia-film of 1984, starring Mickey Rourke, Eric Roberts and Daryl Hannah.

A warm jazz-based tune opens an outstanding score range of styles: from rhythmic jazz-funk to electronic sounds, from full symphonic music to bittersweet piano pieces “made in the Grusin style”. In fact, this score is a delight for Grusin fans because it is a perfect compendium of his approaches, including the dramatically complex orchestrations of "The Yakuza", the contemporary jazz sounds of “Tootsie”, the delicacy of "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" and his subsequent noir score for "Mulholland Falls." All can be found here.

In addition to his original score, Grusin adapts and conducts one of the most memorable and thematic uses of jazz standards in New York City’s cinematic history, all of them included in the "extras" section of this album.

Although this was a major work in the composer's career, the album of “The Pope of Greenwich Village” was never released. Fortunately a complete set with the 24 multi-tracks session were preserved in the MGM vaults in mint condition. Every second of music composed, adapted and recorded by Dave Grusin has been included in this album.

The 20-page booklet includes liner notes by Daniel Schweiger, with also provides exclusive interviews with Dave Grusin and producer Gene Kirkwood, who discuss the film's production history and music.

Due Cuori, Una Cappella

Stelvio Cipriani

First appearance on CD of one of the most beloved works of Stelvio Cipriani. It is also a key score in his career, being together with "Anonimo Veneziano” and “Dedicato a una Stella”, a kind of romantic trilogy dominated by a monothematic melody presented in many different variations.

“Due Cuori, Una Cappella” is an Italian morbid, unexpected and romantic comedy from 1975, directed by Maurizio Luzidi, and starring Renato Pozzetto, Giusi Raspani Dandolo and Renato Pinciroli.

The delicious comedy score of Stelvio Cipriani, one of his best, was released in 1975 in a DeLuxe LP by Cinevox label, including 30 minutes of music into a selection of 15 tracks. Despite the popularity of the score, the album was soon out-of-print due to the failure of the film in commercial theaters, and the LP value has reached very high prices in the second market. On this occasion, we offer the same material as the original LP, plus the complete recording session in stereo, vaulted in mint conditions in the Cinevox files. This edition includes all the music written and recorded by Maestro Cipriani for the film, with a total of 73 minutes of music, all of them carefully restored and mastered by Claudio Fuiano.

The package includes liner notes by Gergely Hubay, who discusses the film, the composer and the score.

[Handstand]

Samples sind nicht so mein Ding, aber zumindest für den Grusin dürfte sich hier ja wohl eine ausreichende Zahl den achtziger Jahren hoffnungslos erlegener Fans finden.

Ach, doch nicht der erhoffte Spencer/Hill-Score bzw. BUDDY HAUT DEN LUKAS. Kommt bestimmt noch - irgendwann.

Ach, doch nicht der erhoffte Spencer/Hill-Score bzw. BUDDY HAUT DEN LUKAS. Kommt bestimmt noch - irgendwann.

Ja, hoffen wir es, irgendwann aber hoffentlich nicht erst in ein paar Jahren

Diese beiden Score hier interessieren mich eher nicht. Dürfen sich andere darüber freuen.
