Thanks for posting this Leo and a pity this is OOP. Beautiful music should always be readily available!

I've been hoping for a reissue of this one for ages, perhaps expanded? Fingers crossed!

Expanded reissue would be great. Btw, anyone know what is happening with the Intermezzo/GDM 2fers? Seems they moved their warehouse or something. In any case, so many of the maestro's works are OOP and that's a great shame!

This thread gave me the opportunity to listen again to PIAZZA DI SPAGNA and I must say that this score has the ability to make me feel happy. It's pure delight throughout. I remember Micke wrote a detailed review of it in MSV at the time when it was broadcast and if I'm not mistaken, there is enough stuff to fill a double CD, with many variations of the themes included on the CD. However, I doubt that EM would ever give his blessing to such a release.
There is one track I'm especially crazy about, Medio - alta borghesia. This catchy tune is exposed by the horns, backed up by string pizzicatti and then by these "string turns" Ennio injected into various other soundtracks of his (the main theme from MARCO POLO, etc). I especially like the way this sinuous melody is built and develops. A pity it stops at 3'05 for I wish it would last longer! Anyway, the entire CD is absolutely infectious, having a lot to offer: Edda's voice here and there, that superb jazzy flute, the slow track inspired by Lei se ne more from ANCHE SE VOLESSI LAVORARE, CHE FACCIO?, etc.

Laurent, I absolutely agree with you, it's one of the very few CD's that I never skip any tracks on.
My particular favourite is track 6 "Seconda borghesia" with the ominous sounding "Bacharach-style"
Flugelhorn.......courtesy of the great Oscar Valdambrini presumably ?
The whole album is a delight from start to finish !
Leo.

Nice to see this thread, 10 years ago i first time suddenly (it was broadcast on TV) seen this TV series and fascinated by score, especially main titles... Of course i recorded this series at the time and then i found rare CD and enjoyed all the 16 brilliant tracks, however a lot of tracks and versions (alternate) remains unreleased, that's why 6 years ago i've cut all of UNRELEASED tracks and alternate versions....
I wrote that a lot of tracks i could identify (re-used, pre-existing) and some of them were not identifiyed yet, we worked with Didier Thunus and Patrick Bouster and of course Micke send me his great article of MSV too which i still keep , this series also re-used LE VENT LE CRI (5 min version), MONEY (which is only released on GOLD EDITION and then later MONEY GDM CD as track 1), Un Amico, and many others BUT the only DE COPALAMO re-used too much throughout all the 5 episodes and this is probably reason that they put this theme and renamed on that Screen trax CD.
Very often (for 6-7 years) we spoken to Fuiano about this score and thankfully he always said that Mastertapes not are lost and he does have them and someday will make miracle.
If someone interested, long time ago i've posted all the unreleased music's Fragments of this series at Facebook....

What a shame we have not had a reissue, it's a lovely score. I would buy a new reissue instantly.
