CD REVIEW - LA LICEALE/LA LICEALE NELLA CLASSE DEI RIPETENTI + WALL.E SOUNDTRACK NOW AVAILABLE IN THE UK
La Liceale/La Liceale Nella Classe Dei Ripetenti
Music by Vittorio Pezzolla/Music by Gianni Ferrio
Digitmovies CDDM106 (Italy)
29 Tracks 58:58 mins
The Digitmovies label continues to serve up music from the films of actress Gloria Guida, this time presenting '70s scores for the erotic comedy La Liceale and its sequel La Liceale Nella Classe Dei Ripetenti.
The former carries the only cinema score by one Vittorio Pezzolla, and is largely based upon an easy-going and poppy main theme, either carried by a variety of intruments, or whistled, as first heard in the title track. Numerous variations follow in susbequent tracks, and the composer also provides erotic scoring here and there, featuring Nora Orlandi putting on her sexiest vocals. Source music, in the form of a couple of tangos, completes the score.
For the sequel, the better-known Gianni Ferrio came on board and, although some of Pezzolla's themes were utilised in the score, this album only features Ferrio's original compositions.
The opening track, after a brief military intro, swiftly turns into something of a samba-styled theme, which is highly infectious and appears a few more times in the score, including the "Finale." Ferrio's secondary theme is something in the '20s style, though given a twist thanks to the composer's use of moog synthesizer, which also carries also carries the main theme here and there. Tracks 24 and 26 and 27 are of a darker, more dramatic feel, somewhat at odds with the rest of the score, and seemingly more suited to a '70s thriller score, but the lighter mood returns in the two subsequent tracks to bring the album to a satsifying close.
As always, a colourful booklet accompanies the disc, filled with stills and original artwork from the films, as well as introductory notes by Pierluigi Valentini and Claudio Fuiano.

Just a brief note to let you know that Thomas Newman's score for WALL.E. is now available in the UK on the Walt Disney Records label (cat. no. 228 2352). Regular visitors to the site will of course have read my review of the US release of this album but, if you missed it, go to my post of July 7th.
