Gli ultimi giorni di Pompei is a 1959 film that sees the debut of director Sergio Leone and Steve Reeves in front of the camera, both before becoming household names around the world. The film is taken from the best selling novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton published in 1834 shortly before a true eruption of Vesuvius. Music by Angelo Francesco Lavagnino, one of the most successful in Italy and abroad which has worked with directors such as Orson Welles and composed music for hundreds of films. Gli ultimi giorni di Pompei is one of the 30 titles from the Sugar's collection dedicated to the soundtracks that have made the history of film music. The collection will be released on March 13rd in a completely remastered version and with a new look edition. All the title of the series have been enriched with a text by Marco Muller, movie producer, critic and director of the most important film festival. He affirms: Cinema is the place where music becomes something different, carving for itself a specific role within a whole where it is as important as visual composition, editing , time and movement. Without music cinema would lose one essential element of its nature.Whenever important musicians have worked with important film-directors their strong individual personalities have always struck a balance where great music made a great film stronger and vice versa. These adventurous stories of Italian (and not only Italian) cinema are the subject of this well-thought re-proposition of the CAM catalogue. A selection of its greatest titles offering the opportunity to divert from a concert program of modernist music, or an alternative to light pop, to venture into a new continent just waiting to be (re-)discovered.
