Digitmovies releases a CD Box Set containing three rare Stelvio Cipiriani’s OSTs
based on TV series “Baciami Strega”, motion picture “Don Bosco” and TV movie “Se
non avessi l’amore”.
BACIAMI STREGA
THE SOUNDTRACK
Digitmovies issues “Baciami strega” OST, for the very first time on CD. These tracks
had been published only in digital edition before, so this CD version will make M°
Cipriani’s fanbase very happy. Stelvio Cipriani composed a brilliant comment,
intruduced by a recurring piano theme (played by the author himself), latin rythms
and strings. The OST alternates suspenseful tracks with more danceable ones that
wink at the 60’s, like waltz and tango, but also with eighteenth-century harpsichord
music, flute and guitar music with a decidedly Renaissance flavor, and with romantic
tracks, both sad and happy. Stelvio Cipriani plays the piano here. For this CD (min
66:03), we used original session’s stereo masters.
DIRECTION AND CAST
Directed by Duccio Tessari in 1985 and starring Iris Peynado and Philippe Leroy.
PLOT
A beautiful witch is sent to the Earth by the devil to capture the souls of ambitious
men, willing to sell them for success.
DON BOSCO
THE SOUNDTRACK
Digitmovies issues the OST from the movie “Don Bosco”, for the first time on CD in
Italy. EMI Songs granted release to Cinevox that published a LP record for the series
Ciak (CIA 5075) and a 16-tracks musicassette (CIAK 75075) in 1989. In 2010 Verita
Note released the CD version (VQCD 10203) in Japan, an edition very much desired
by collectors. Therefore, our CD will allow our audience to enjoy this beautiful
orchestral score. Stelvio Cipriani composed and directed a romantic comment,
where flute, guitar and orchestra prevail, alternated with cheerful tracks, like “Gita
alle cascate”, and with more dramatic ones, like “I moti rivoluzionari”. Don Bosco is
described by fascinating religious musics. Stelvio Cipriani plays the piano here, too.
For this CD (min 48:30), we used original session’s stereo masters.
DIRECTION AND CAST
Directed by Leandro Castellani in 1988 and starring Ben Gazzara, Patsy Kensit, Karl
Zinny, Laurent Terzieff, Piera Degli Esposti, Philippe Leroy, Edmund Purdom,
Pierluigi Misasi, Rick Battaglia, Leopoldo Trieste, Raymond Pellegrin, Aldo E.
Castellani, Egidio Termine, Silvano Tranquilli, Luca Lionello.
PLOT
Don Bosco, feeble at the end of his life, recalls his past, his childhood memories,
when he used to walk on a rope tied to two trees to entertain his friends. The most
significant moments of his life, dedicated to young people, are shown in a flashback:
he used to look for children among the streets of pre-industrial Turin to free them
from the exploitation by ruthless masters. Where he can, he improvised a rudimental
laboratory to give them a job. He offered them meals, a shelter, his friendship.
Consoled by Don Borel, he took on politicians, priests, angry business men.
Threatened and assaulted, he escaped death more than once. He didn’t hesitate to
go to Popes Pio IX and Leone XIII, to seek support for his cause. He died worshiping
Mary, that inspired his incredible adventure as educator.
SE NON AVESSI L’AMORE
THE SOUNDTRACK
Digitmovies issues the OST from the movie “Se non avessi l’amore”, for the first time
on CD in Italy. In 2010 Verita Note released the CD version (VQCD 10184) in Japan.
Therefore, our CD will allow our audience to enjoy this beautiful orchestral score. All
Cipriani’s sentimentalism comes back in this score, thanks to its pastorale mood.
Sweet and serene atmospheres alternates with more dramatic ones. Stelvio Cipriani
plays the piano here, too. For this CD (min 40:22), we used original session’s stereo
masters.
