Review by Stephen Woolston

…How about something a little different?

This compilation is a joy, because even if you're 'thing' is the archetypal science fiction action score, it's simply refreshing to listen to the 'different' film music of Italy, where jouie de vivre rules. 'Al Cinema Con Edda Dell'Orso' features the voice of - well, Edda Dell'Orso, that famous voice that brings such beauty and evocation to so many classic Italian soundtracks. She performs twenty-three numbers from a broad spectrum of composers including the inimitable Ennio Morricone, Armando Travioli, Bruno Nicolai and Luis Bacalov. Many are from original soundtracks, though the album also includes Edda's own version of Morricone's Once Upon A Time In The West.

Highlight tracks include Morricone's Verushka, Pregadio-Bixio's Deserto Di Fuoco and Pisano-Chaumont's Kill! and for the archival enthusiast, the album contains some raw recording material of Edda's voice.

'Al Cinema Con Edda Dell'Orso' could easily be taken as lightweight - but that's Italy. Her national film music is light and thrifty, not weighed down by the sound of a thousand groaning cellos. It isn't heavy, but it sure is joyful - and with Edda, almost spiritual. Whether an established fan of Italian film music, or just interested in something a bit different from 'film score 101', this is one of the best opportunities you'll get to sample a broad spectrum of fantastic Italian film music.
