Travolti da un insolito destino nell'azzurro mare d'agosto

Description

On the occasion of its 50th anniversary, CAM Sugar presents the ultimate edition of “Travolti da un insolito destino nell'azzurro mare d'agosto,” one of Piero Piccioni’s major scores. A masterpiece of Italian soundtrack music, composed for Lina Wertmüller’s cult 1974 film - the first woman to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director - starring Mariangela Melato and Giancarlo Giannini. Its success and cult status inspired a 2002 remake titled “Swept Away,” directed by Guy Ritchie and starring pop star Madonna. The soundtrack reflects the film’s exotic setting, defined by its distinctive touch of samba, bossa nova and lounge music, enhanced by Nora Orlandi’s wordless vocals, in the purest Italian cinematic tradition of the 1960s and 1970s. This reissue is fully remastered from the original master tape, available on double vinyl and CD digipack.
