LE SORELLE is a particular favorite of mine and I am very glad that Quartet has released this score now on CD. What a pity that there are no comments or reactions on this board about this score and that almost nobody nowadays seems to know the old ( and of course top-rare) Cinevox LP from 1969 anymore.
For me this is the best Gaslini score, by turns nostalgic-melancholic and playful, with some lovely baroque flourishes. Great use of the piano (played by Gaslini himself) as solo instrument and of Edda's voice. A touching score full of melodic beauty and elegance. Never did Gaslini's melodic gift shine more than here.

You're welcome.
Already own these 2 titles myself, so I'm glad I was able to promote Gaslini music.
Now if there were another 400 or 500 customers like us, then current pressings of 350 for items such as these wouldn't be the current situation with labels like MusicBox & Quartet.

This is great news to me.
Yes, a nice surprise.
Orchestra AND chorus - in stereo!
Are the master tapes from Cinevox or the C.A.M. vaults @ Gruppo Sugar?

EMI Music Publishing has the rights. So Quartet probably got the LP album master via GDM who nowadays manage the Italian EMI catalogue. Nothing to do with CAM/Sugar.

UN AMORE finally! It is a pleasure to have another Giorgio Gaslini. Delightfully diverse.
Quartet has it on sale on it too, buy 1 of the 300 now if you can!
I did! Got myself Un Amore during Quartet's sale. Out of the 7 albums I bought, this is the most remarkable. That 1965 LP must have been one of the most musical advanced soundtracks to have been produced during that decade (alongside Bunny Lake Is Missing by Glass).
Gaslini's versatility ranges from elitist expressionistic textures to the opposite end of the spectrum with proletariat romantic tunes.
If cues #4 & #8 aren't modern-sounding enough, then track #7 is up-to-the-moment sonorism similar to compositions by Scelsi, Penderecki, Nono, Ligeti, Cerha, etc.
It's as if Gaslini brought the Warsaw Autumn to Milan!
I'm curious to learn, though, if there are any Donaggio fans who blind bought this disc because of the song sung by Pino?

Hi, Stefan.
The liner notes list special thanks to one named Wolfgang Maier. Do you know who this person is?
Is Wolfgang connected to the GDM label or the Italian EMI?

Yes, of course I do know Wolfgang very well. He is a good friend of mine from Munich and a long-time collector above all of rare European soundtracks on vinyl.
Wolfgang certainly has the top-rare LP of UN AMORE in his collection. He had already helped Quartet with the cover of the top-rare EP of ROGOPAG which nobody else had and therefore Quartet probably then also asked him for the Gaslini LP cover which only very few people have at all.
However, he is not connected to GDM or the Italian EMI.
