Fiorenzo Carpi

*2022 stock* Digitmovies releases for the very first time on CD the complete OST in mono by Fiorenzo Carpi for the movie "Un'anguilla da 300 milioni" (aka "Million Dollar Eel") directed in 1971 by Salvatore Samperi. This CD project (66:57) is possible thanks to Martina Carpi, the daughter of the composer, who till today has preserved the mono master tapes of the original session arranged and conducted by Bruno Nicolai, and to the friends at Beat Records who have licensed us this film music rarity. For this plot which is half comedy and half Giallo, Fiorenzo Carpi has written a very varied score based on the folk song "Anguille e libertà" (Tr.1,Tr.26) which is reprised in instrumental version in Tr.5,Tr.7, Tr.9,Tr.16,Tr.22. This nostalgic theme with a popular flavour (typical of the composer) is alternated with suspense music with dissonant passages which renders the adequate "Giallo" colour of the story in Tr.6, Tr.11, Tr.12,Tr.13, Tr.14,Tr.15, Tr.20,Tr.23,Tr.24, little marches (Tr.8,Tr.17), themes for liturgical organ (Tr.10,Tr.18) and Beat music (Tr.2,Tr.3,Tr.19,Tr.25). A proper rescue and preservation of a rare OST by the unforgettable Fiorenzo Carpi and Bruno Nicolai.
