Music For Fellini Part One 1952--1958 on El (Cherry Red). The sound is supposed to be bad, but there is so little music available from those first couple of Rota/Fellini films that I'm tempted.

Stefan, Thank you so much for your detailed description. I do have the La Strada/Cabiria cd, so I don't need those tracks. I was looking for Rota scoring from lo sceicco bianco and I Vitelloni, and it sounds like that Cherry Red does not have much. I do have the Savina 1974 recordings of those themes, though.

Indeed, there is quite a lot of beautiful music in I VITELLONI which would really deserve a re-recording. Of course, the original tapes from that time are certainly long lost, but we always only get about 2-3 minutes from I VITELLONI in re-recordings, but nothing more. And the new Riccardo Chailly CD doesn´t even offer anything from I VITELLONI at all which I found quite disappointing. Just nobody makes the effort to record a really long suite with at least 15-20 minutes from I VITELLONI and I don´t get it why. Instead we always get the same material from the later Fellini/Rota films - for which the original recordings exist anyway - over and over again.

Stefan, I wish there would be re-recordings of those earlier scores. That there isn't is just like companies who record the most obvious hits from composers, but not the most needed stuff. Yes, I know, they need to make money. Still, the Rota/Fellini brand is strong enough to warrant longer suites on those first two films.

For those first 2 Fellini scores I'd like to hear ANYTHING; that's the point. I always prefer the original because these orchestral re-rerecords don't do justice to the jazz/pop elements in the originals. But, if the original scores for the first 2 films are primarily orchestral, and if the original tapes are gone, then by all means I'd love a re-recording.
