| | Description: | Chrisâ?? Soundtrack Corner proudly presents for the first time the complete soundtrack
to Second Spring, a West German/Italian coproduction released in 1975, written and
directed by Ulli Lommel (1944-2017). Lommel is considered one of the most consistently
creative filmmakers to come from the New German Cinema, with 65 credits as
director in a variety of genres. The movie stars Curd Jürgens as womanizing bon vivant
who has finally come to terms with growing old and decided to settle down and enjoy
his second spring by marrying Gertrud (Irmgard Schönberg, in her only film credit),
a beautiful woman several decades his junior. But when Fox returns to his womanizing
ways, Gertrud withdraws from him and discards her husbandâ??s companionship
altogether, flagrantly exhibiting her own sexual appetites for younger and wilder liaisons
of both genders, which inevitably leads to a grievous confrontation with her aged
husband.
The entire score to Second Spring was a mix of original music and library tracks by the
highly prolific and accomplished Italian composer Stelvio Cipriani (1937-2018). He
had actually composed a fairly extensive original score for the film, but, unaccountably,
most of it was replaced by library tracks for the filmâ??s final mix, with only a few
cues from the original score remaining in the film. As a result, the film score is quite a
curiosity; its soundtrack remains effective and quite lovely, with both the previouslyused
tracks and the bits of original cues left in the film providing a melodic wash of
romantic fragrance and appealing soft jazz in the composerâ??s finest form.
The music for Second Spring thus remains an interesting oddity in the composerâ??s
filmography. Cipriani composed fifteen motion pictures in 1975 â?? of which Second
Spring proved to be one of his most persuasive and melodic scores, even with more
than half of its musical content tracked in from previous scores. The topic of the film
is not unusual: Cipriani had scored a number of sex-comedies and dramas in Italy
and Germany during the 1970s, and heâ??d had library tracks originating from previously-
composed films show up regularly in new movies, including the same yearâ??s
Spanish crime thriller, Metralleta Stein, which is being released concurrently by Chrisâ??
Soundtrack Corner. But Second Spring is unusual in that Cipriani had composed at
least a large portion of its score already, and found those cues removed in favor of an
almost wholly recycled soundtrack.
Chrisâ?? Soundtrack Corner is pleased to make the Second Spring soundtrack available,
especially its previously unheard tracks, for the first time. This album is produced
by Christian Riedrich and mastered by Stefan Betke. The CD is accompanied by a
12-page illustrated booklet designed by Aletta Heinsohn featuring detailed, exclusive
notes on the film and its score by film music journalist Randall D. Larson, who deconstructs
the scoreâ??s elements in detail. - | | | Manufacturer No.: |
