Search - Bruno Nicolai :: 100.000 Dollar Per Ringo

For the first time, the COMPLETE Original Motion Picture Soundtrack! 30 Tracks totalReview by Steven A. KennedyHere's a score by an Italian great, Bruno Nicolai, for a 1965 film that starred Richard Harrison. The opening ballad, "Ringo Come to Fight" is sung by Bobby Solo (obviously influenced by the great Frankie Laine). As a song, it lies firmly within the style of other similar western ballads. The body of the score is a wondrous mixture of Copland-esque vistas with a deeper, almost Wagnerian sound. Nicolai writes music that is at once firmly planted in the Italian classical orchestral tradition, but also extends into the Americana realm. ?the real value in this disc is the previously unreleased material, which tends to be more interesting than the old stuff! The sound quality is indicative of the period? This is not to fault GDM -- they've done a fabulous job of remastering. - FSM
