Finder 4545, many thanks for your comments. I couldn't agree more with you as to what you write about Rossellini. He was a first rate Golden Age composer and it is a shame that so much of his music has been totally forgotten today. At least we now get his CLEOPATRA score on CD so that people can rediscover his music.
I absolutely love his score for the 1961 movie VANINA VANINI and have the old CAM LP myself. This is an exquisite full-blooded romantic and passionate score which for me is even on a par with some of Rozsa's music from the 50s. Unfortunately, this score isn't in the CAM catalogue anymore and this for a very long time. Therefore Sugar hasn't any tapes anymore for this score. Of course, CAM had released the music on one of their LPs - it was their second one in 1961 -, but they were not the music publisher and rights owner. This is the big problem. The rights now belong to Universal Music Publishing and so certainly nothing has survived because CAM didn't keep the tapes during the 60s. This is a very sad case, but I can't tell you much more about it and there is not much hope that we will ever see an official CD of this music. Just keep the LP if you have it.
In 1960 there was also a top-rare RCA LP of Rossellini's score for VIVA L'ITALIA (the Garibaldi movie by Roberto Rossellini). This score was later on indeed in the CAM catalogue and Sugar even has the rights for it, but it has not survived the times - maybe also because of the jumble between RCA and CAM in the early 1960s and that tapes used for the LP then came not baclk from RCA to CAM as they should have - and they don't have the tapes for this Rossellini music anymore.
Anyway, Sugar still has a few other scores by Rossellini from the late 50s and maybe Saimel can also release them in the near future.
By the way, the last Rossellini score from 1965, LA DONNA DEL LAGO, should also still exist in the RCA archives as one or two tracks could be found on those BMG library CDs in their "BPM Score Music" series a few years ago.

I'll definitely be getting this!
I get all the peplum scores I can find.
I saw a lot of these films at multiple Saturday matinees of my (no doubt misspent) youth.
Ah well.

The music is spectacular with themes of war, dances, love theme and palace music. It's a score with influences of clasdics composers suchs as Miklós Rózsa and Aldred Newman.
It's a indispensable edition.
Well with Rozsa and Newman you just said the two magic words to get ME interested!
