Nascimbene, Mario
Le Soldatesse
Beat Records releases for the first time on CD two scores that highlight the versatility of Mario Nascimbene, one of the
biggest names in international film music. Le soldatesse is a 1965 war movie directed by Valerio Zurlini in which the
horrors and suffering in Greece during 1941 are seen through the eyes of a group of prostitutes destined to entertain
some soldiers. Greek bouzouki music is essential, of course, but very powerful, alternated with dramatic symphonic
passages. In addition to the material featured on the promotional mono RCA 33 rpm album of that period, we discovered on
the original master tapes that the soundtrack was also recorded in fabulous stereo sound, which we include here for
completeness.
Vado a vedere il mondo, capisco tutto e torno (1973) highlights the cheerful, romantic side of Maestro Nascimbene, who
wrote the playful theme song "Swing Swing" in both a vocal version and in catchy instrumental versions with a groovy
beat. A couple of tracks also feature the legendary Franco De Gemini on harmonica.
Now available in our BCM series with a 12-page booklet designed by Alessio Innuzzi using original key art, with liner
notes (in Italian and English) by Pier Maria Bocchi and mastering by Claudio Fuiano.
