[Thor Joachim Haga]

I mentioned this earlier (in fact, I mentioned most of my Italian soundtracks earlier), but it’s really worth checking out if you like those broad, pastoral, romantic-orchestral affairs. Zeffirelli always managed to get that sound out of the composers he worked with – with Rota’s ROMEO & JULIET primary among them, perhaps. I only have three Ortolani soundtracks (FANTASMA D’AMORE, LA RIVINCITA DI NATALE and this), and would really love to get more recommendations, if you have any.
