Five OSTs from Carlo Franci, Francesco De Masi, Roberto Nicolosi, Marcello Giombini, and Bruno Canfora. Il Gladiatore Invincibile: Carlo Franci, also known under the pseudonym Francis Clark, studied in Rome with Goffredo Petrassi. He is an orchestra conductor and a composer for theatre productions. For this film the composer wrote a symphonic score to describe the heroic endeavors, where dramatic and violent passages for the battle scenes are alternated with a romantic and nostalgic love theme which is gloriously reprised in the finale. For the realization of this CD, Digitmovies used the mono master tapes of the recording session which took place over half a century ago and have been kept in good condition until now. Gli Schiavi Più Forti Del Mondo: Francesco De Masi composed and conducted a symphonic OST with heroic tones alternating with robust action music and a sweet love theme along with cheerful and comical passages. For this CD, Digitmovies used the master tape that half a century ago was assembled for the release of the original LP, and have added new previously unreleased material, including a rare stereo mix which has been properly restored and remastered. A dutiful homage to artistic music by the unforgettable Maestro Francesco De Masi. La Regina Delle Amazzoni: This CD was made possible thanks to the mono master tapes from the recording session which were kept in excellent condition. Robert Nicolosi composed and directed a symphonic OST containing all the classical elements of Peplum, but with an interesting idea. The main score is modern (for that time period), but there are hints of blues, jazz and swing, which the composer dances between again and again. This creates a soundtrack with two dimensions. Le Sette Fatiche Di Ali' Babà: For this CD Digitmovies was able to use the mono master tapes of the original recording. The author composed a recurring main score in a Middle Eastern Arabian Nights style, alternating between suspenseful music and music with violent and dramatic motifs for the battle scenes. Giombini transforms the main melody into a delicate and exotic love theme, contrasting with the exciting action scenes. La Regina Dei Tartari: For this CD, Digitmovies used every note contained in the mono master tapes of the original recording session. Maestro Canfora, for this particular OST removed the strings and used only the brass, woodwind and percussion. These create atmospheres with an ancient flavor, between heroic and mysterious, alternating with vigorous music for battle, and the recurring presence of a delicate love theme.
