La Lunga Notte Dei Disertori
Music by Stelvio Cipriani
GDM Hillside Series GDM 4118
22 Tracks
I usually only review western releases in this series, but am glad Hillside's Lionel Woodman convinced me to take a listen to Stelvio Cipriani's score for this 1970 World War II desert warfare picture, as there's much to enjoy here, starting out with the opening variation on the main theme "Marsa Matruh," a dramatic, almost operatic piece, featuring the Nora Orland choir, which is much more than just the march the title would suggest. "The gentle romance of "Tema Arabo: Dialogo" follows; then more romance of the sweeping kind, complete with choir, in "Deserto." The "Tema Arabo" theme is given an upbeat, full-blooded rendition in "Tema Arabo: Cavalcata," which so easily could have come from a western, with its galloping rhythm. "Ricordi Di Una - Vedette" is a jazzy night club-styled source piece, and is followed by yet another version of "Tema Arabo" in "Tema Arabo: Passeggiata," which starts out sweetly on strings, woodwind and flute, but ends more like the previous uptemp variation. The main theme returns in a sturdy arrangement for "Marsa Matruh: Oasi." "Eccidio" is a suspense track with martial undertones, ending in a bold variation on the main theme. After something of an ominous opening, "Incontro Con Marlene" develops into more orchestral romance, with choir entering at its conclusion. Another variation on the main theme follows in "Marsia Matruh: Il Colonnello;" with "Deserto Infuocato" providing something of an ambiguous ending to the score.
Following the first 11 stereo tracks, which were previously issued on a C.A.M. promo LP, there are a further 11 previously unreleased mono tracks, providing interesting and often quite different alternate approaches to each cue.
As with all releases in this series, a colourful booklet accompanies the disc, featuring cast and credits for the film, plus stills and original artwork. Visit www.hillsidecd.co.uk.

On 17th November Silva Screen Records will be releasing Murray Gold's
soundtrack to Doctor Who Series 4
Murray Gold's powerful score for Doctor Who is widely regarded as a
major element in the revival of the classic cult series. The music from
the previous three series has proved to be a bestseller and has appeared
on the UK Albums chart. This much anticipated collection will include
Song Of Freedom, the stirring choral piece that celebrated the defeat of
the Daleks in the final episode of the series and proved to be a major
hit at the recent Doctor Who Prom.
From his ground-breaking, BAFTA-nominated score to Vanity Fair, to the
RTS Award-winning soundtrack to Queer as Folk and Torchwood, Murray Gold
is one of the most accomplished composers working in television today.
