CD REVIEWS - LITTLE RITA NEL WEST & L'UOMO DALLA PISTOLA D'ORO
Little Rita Nel West
Music by Robby Poitevin
GDM Hillside Series 4110
23 Tracks 48:19 mins
The entry for this 1967 production on the Internet Movie Database suggests that it was something of a comedy-western-musical, with Rita Pavone starring, alongside western staple Terence Hill.
This CD doesn't feature any songs from the film, but instead presents Robby Poitevin's score, which features a great, galloping electric guitar-lead theme and a simply gorgeous kind of love theme for orchestra and choir (I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni, of course). The latter is reprised in a number of variations throughout. Track two of the album also features another brieg galloper, which is good while it lasts, and other notable tracks (they are untitled) include an elegiac a capella choral, a bold new theme, with choir chanting "Django," and an extravagant trumpet solo. There are also a number of saloon piano tracks and a good deal of suspenseful material - all that one would expect from a serious Italian Western score, in fact.
The colourful accompanying booklet features stills and poster artwork from the film. Order your copy from enquiries@hillsidecd.co.uk, or visit the website at www.hillsidecd.co.uk.
L'Uomo Dalla Pistola D'Oro
Music by Angelo Francisco Lavagnino
GDM Hillside Series 4111
23 Tracks 52:55 mins
Another new Italian Western release from this great series features Angelo Lavagnino's score for the 1966 production L'Uomo Dalla Pistola D'Oro, which opens with a leisurely galloping song "Golden Gun" by the Wilder Brothers, whose "Johnny Yuma" is one of my all-time favourite songs from the genre. A couple of instrumental versions of the song feature in subsequent tracks and are most welcome. Other standouts include the weighty harmonica and strummed guitar of track 4 (again the tracks are largely untitled) and the wonderful trumpet deguello of track 13. There are also some nice guitar solos and a dance hall waltz, along with a fair bit of suspenseful material. The song receives a brief reprise to close the album.
Stills and original poster artwork feature in the colourful accompanying booklet.
