Hi Niall, yes that cd was a great combination of scores, Orlandi and alessandroni on one disc wonderful,

Hi Chris  have to agree with you on that, DEVILS NIGHTMARE is certainly a case of the music being superior to the movie, I also like his Lovers of Peynet, there are so many themes in that score, its a feast for the ears.....John M.

i thought of nascimbene when I first heard attonement, and also of Morricone who used a typewriter within some of his compositions, sadly I found the score to attonement a little dull and the typewriter was very distracting, I had hoped that Marco Beltrami (another composer born in Italy) was going to be given the Oscar for his energetic score to 3 10 to yuma, which has some very Italian western sounding cues within it.

Hi  Filippo, I also like this score very much, I did not know anything about it till dagored released it, so another of your Fathers soundtracks to my collection.  I am so glad that many scores such as this are being released at last. Another score of your Fathers that i think is very very good is  ARIZONA COLT it is a classic work, an iconic score within the Italian western genre, the theme is so infectious, We were told that an expanded version of this was being planned, but have heard no more. do you know anything of this ?  Best wishes John .

I think my favourite score by your Father or at least one of them is LONE WOLF McQUADE, john mansell

Dear Sir, I have for many years been a fan of your Fathers wonderful music, I first encountered it when I purchased the soundtrack to QUELLA SPORCA STORIA NEL WEST on CAM LP, I also interviewed your Father via a postal questinaire which he very kindly returned to me with many lovely answers to my many questions, I think I have nearly all of his films scores, apart from the BIG GAME I will get this as you say it is a very good score, many thanks John Mansell.

I was so pleased when BEAT re-issued this wonderful music    Maestro De Masi, creates such grand sounds on these scores which are embellished by his subtle use of electronics, two truly must have scores and both on one CD.

these look fantastic, more great music from BEAT. when do you think they will be issued Daniele. John M.

Hi Daniele and Valentina, this is a great idea, to be able to discuss music and films etc with the actual Maestros and people like BEAT,  I wish yiou all the best luck with this forum...John Mansell.
