La valle dell'eco tonante / Genoveffa di Brabante

Digitmovies, in collaboration with the Sugar Group, is pleased to present, as a volume XXVIII of the series dedicated to the Italian Peplum, two OST by Carlo Rustichelli for the film Hercules of the Desert and The Revenge of the Crusader.

These films contained musical material composed by Maestro Rustichelli from other films. For our CD (41:31) we could use the mono master tapes of the original recording session that contained ONLY the original music specially composed by the author for these two films.

For Hercules of the Desert the composer wrote an epic theme for choir and orchestra extremely dramatic (Tr. 1), which is taken up in the OST in a slow version (Tr. 2), then in a more energetic ( Tr.3) alternating dark and mysterious passages (Tr.4). We also include a rare mix in stereo of the main credits (Tr.7).

For The Revenge of the Crusader, Carlo Rustichelli composed an OST based on ancient medieval ballads (Tr.8, Tr.9, Tr.11, Tr.14, Tr.16) alternating suspense music (Tr. 10, Tr. 15), to epic-mystical tunes (Tr.12) and a romantic love theme (Tr.13).
