Armando Trovajoli OST La Ciociara Original Tv Soundtrack Yellow / Gold Vinyl Edition

Generally with “La Ciociara” (internationally known as “Two Women”) one refers to Vittorio De Sica’s 1960 masterpiece; few people know that, at the end of the 80s, a remake was made in the form of a 2-episode television miniseries which, in addition to the story obviously, has two other elements in common with the original film: the presence of Sophia Loren as the leading actress and Armando Trovajoli as the author of the soundtrack (the original recording sessions seem to have been lost forever). Although it was composed in the 80s, this version of the score is not affected at all by the trending sounds of the time, and is in fact entirely based - with the exception of the short “Clock Curiosity” divertissement - on various orchestral and symphonic pieces, perfect for the historical period - during the World War II - in which the story of “La Ciociara” is set. The presence of Sophia Loren herself on vocals in three compositions, two sung in English - “A Word of Love” and “Somewhere a Dream” - and one in Neapolitan dialect - the final track “Ma Dio Addo’ Sta” - makes this work even more special and unique.
