Beat Records re-releases on CD the OSTs by Ennio Morricone for the romantic comedy films Idoli controluce and E la donna creo' l'uomo (aka Volles Herz und leere Taschen). In this score, Morricone alternates pleasant, lounge-flavored tunes ("Sophisticated boy," "Relax in solitudine," "Rendez-vous") with romantic themes ("Le meno importanti," "Le cose più important"). This CD reissue, lasting 51:04, includes for the first time the Baroque-flavored piece "Villa Madama," which was featured as the background music at a house party and had only previously been released on an Italian promo library vinyl and Japanese CD compilation. For this Italian-German co-production, Ennio Morricone composed a pleasant lounge-type score that didn't see the light of day on the soundtrack market at the time. It wasn't until 2005 that GDM Music issued the music from this film on CD (GDM 2058), along with selections from Idoli controluce, with the approval of Maestro Morricone. A dance tune is introduced in the opening credits (repeated in the finale with Alessandroni's whistle), alternating with exotic rhythms ("Exoticoerotico") and a romantic orchestral theme ("Dawn in the park"). The leitmotif is arranged in bossa nova ("Donnabossa"), classical ("E la donna creò l'uomo"), fast version ("Inseguendo lei"), for classical guitar and orchestra ("Dolcemente donna"), with sax ("Sexydonna"), suspended and sweetly magical ("Aspettando lei"), and a brilliant and even faster version ("Correndo verso lei"). Mastering and liner notes by Claudio Fuiano, graphic layout by Daniele De Gemini.
