Fratello Mare (1975) is the next title
www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdLZXGwgB7M
Core Di Cane this one needs some editing for my liking my favourite tracks 1,2,5,10,13,16,18,19,21,22,23 I'm not too keen on the other tracks so far.
10,13 are opera and the main theme heard throughout nearly all the tracks that I like is very similar to the music from Swept Away only more somber.

I agree with a lot of that, wayoutwest.
For repeat listens, I start at track #8 and go forward. I prefer the monaural section over the stereo cues, to be honest.
(actually, the mono tracks begin with #12, not #13 as listed on the reverse side of the album).
Seems to me that Piccioni's CUORE DI CANE was another case of tracks gathered together for an intended LP program which never happened.

SAE now has some samples of UN BAMBINO DI NOME GESU'.
I like what little I hear, but am unsure how much appeal this title will have with other members.
For me personally it has great appeal.
It is a very meditative, elegiac symphonic score. The themes here are often very touching, particularly with the use of the many instrumental soli (flute, oboe, violin) in typical Piccioni vein and with those up and down gliding melodic contours of the string section. Sometimes it is a bit similar to CRONACA DI UNA MORTE ANNUNCIATA from the same year 1987, but there are moments where the score has its very own voice. It is a very lyrical music with great feeling and often very inspired so all in all it is a charming and highly emotional listening experience.
On two occasions Piccioni takes up some older material: In track 7 we can hear parts of "Super flumina Babilonis" this time without choir from UOMINI CONTRO and in track 9 he recycles some suspense material from THE LIGHT AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD.

Anybody know anything about this U.K. CD containing Piccioni's MAFIOSO?
I expect the "EL" label simply reissued the contents of an LP program...
Tone Row, there was never an LP of IL MAFIOSO, only an RCA EP in 1962 with 6 tracks:
http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/title/19251/Mafioso
El Records therefore just took these same 6 tracks from the EP vinyl source. That's totally clear. Otherwise they would have had to license the rights from Radiofilmusica/Laurentiis for this score. And everybody knows that they
1) wouldn't do this
and
2) couldn't do this anyway
And as some of the other tracks/scores on the CD even belong to different music publishers, you don't have to ask anymore if they have licensed anything or even got mastertapes. Parts have just been ripped from vinyl and other parts like SENILITA', GUENDALINA or IMPREVISTO quite obviously from the existing CDs.
You have to consider that all the music on this CD is now more than 50 years old so that therefore sound recording copyright here in Europe has in the meantime of course expired for them. A label like El does nothing else than to exploit this situation.
