CD from Italy

Original soundtrack from Umberto Marino ghost thriller made for Italy TV, starring Vittoria Puccini, Luca Argentero, Enrico Loverso. Paolo Vivaldi composes full-blooded symphonic score with assist from composer Daniele Falangone. Rich string writing takes front seat but ideas for piano, woodwinds, brass also make appearances. Highlights are numerous with stirring major-key harmonic progression of "Prophecy" just one standout. Two composers write with degree of density, thickness. Results are weighted, substantial music. That said, solo colors do appear: winding arpeggio violin figures (beautifully played by Massimiliano Destro) in "Dreaming" sequence are striking, rich cello lines over piano during "Falling in Love" also noteworthy. Climactic "Last Fight" brings long score to surging, powerful finish. Paolo Vivaldi, Pietro Gallo conduct Orchestra AMIT di Roma.
