Among the constellation of original soundtracks fromnotes
Italian films released in the 60s and 70s golden era,
some scores in particular have an undeniable cult vibe.
Though their limited pressing rarity is often at the heart
of this elite status, the aura of the film they embody,
sleeve design or simply the quality of the music itself
come together to transform these vinyls into powerful
objects of desire for many avid collectors.
The music composed by Stelvio Cipriani in 1969 for
supreme cult pop art film Piero Schivazappa has every
merit to a place in this category of indefinable, fascinating
records. Under its sensual and arty sleeve, sixties fantasy
incarnate, lies one of the most beautiful Italian cinema B
scores of the end of the decade. A psychedelic whirlwind
in perfect harmony with the steamily perverted and erotic
role-play - playing off an icy Philippe Leroy with the
fascinating Dagmar Lassander.
Other than the sophistication of the arrangements and
orchestrations embracing mostly organs, psychedelic
guitars, percussion and baroque strings, itÆs the boundless
ambition of CiprianiÆs melodies that command respect.
Mixing codes and styles, he happily delves into jazz, kinetic
pop and classical music to give form to the moving waves
of his music. From flashes of pop, heady waltzes and Bach
style bop minuets, to hallucinogenic experiments and
Morriconien western themes, each seems to have its place
in this sumptuous kaleidoscope.
To top it all, the celestial tones of the great Edda DellÆOrso
have never had a more fitting home. Oscillating between
the perverse, the sensual and the nostalgic, sheÆs in perfect
harmony with CiprianiÆs wise structures, each on a par with
the most dazzling of Morricone or PiccioniÆs works.
The perfect show of Italian soundtracksÆ brazen excess and
a composer brushing with genius more than ever before,
Femina Ridens largely deserves an identical reissue.
As much to satisfy the desires of the many amateurs who
canÆt get their hands on a vinyl copy at a decent price as to
finally ensure these heady, unforgettable melodies live on.
